Ali has done a lot of goodwill during and after his boxing days.
Richard Petty would be #2 on my list
John Elway would be #3.

How can you say Ali???? He divided this nation before the first ali-Frazier fight. If you were for Smokin' Joe you were a racist or an uncle Tom. If you were for Ali or Clay (as Frazier called him) you were for the advancement of the colored man. I hated Ali as long as I can remember and so did most of white America, which at least for now is the majority. So the most beloved in history?? The Babe, men andf boys wanted to be him ,women.well i'm not sure what they wanted. He loved children and the kids loved him, even the black kids

Ali was not universally loved. Many people hated him because he was such a braggart, and a draft dodger and a muslim. Since he got old and can't talk, people have lightened up on him.
I would say Tiger Woods or MJ. In another era Mickey Mantle was pretty huge.
