If we're talking about team sports, we'd have to examine each sport individually.
Baseball: Ty Cobb, maybe Barry Bonds (who had already started to rack up several MVP awards even before he juiced himself).
Basketball: Elgin Baylor, Karl Malone, Patrick Ewing....tough call.
Football: Gayle Sayers maybe...Fran Tarkenton (Fran did not play well in his three Super Bowls, and never got a chance at a fourth.. of course, John Elway stunk up the joint in his first three Super Bowls as well, but was able to win a couple at the end of his career). Defensively, Dick Butkus would be a good choice.
That's a great question, quite a bit of room for debate.
In terms of individual sports, it's much harder to answer a question like this, as sports like golf and tennis have quite a number of 'championships' for players to win, both major and minor. No single tennis or golf tournament is considered to be a true "World Championship" tournament in the same way as the team sports championship series are.

Hockey wise I would say Marcel Dionne. I'd say Mario Lemieux but he won gold at the '02 Olympics.
