I'd say it's George Steinbreinner of the New York Yankees. He owns one of the biggest and most profitable team in sports. Also spends 200 million dollars in payroll.

That is a hard one. In football you have the "godfather" among players, Ray Lewis who has been able to coax people out of retirement, convince the unconvinceable TO to apologize aboput things and it seems everyone in football listens to him.
In Boxing, Don King has had his hand in everything but now for the first time other names are popping up and taking some of his power. De La Hoya promotions, Teddy Atlas, John McCain and others are working to clean up the sport.
George Steinbrenner of the Yankees...money talks. Also Vince McMahon...I know he's owner of WWE wrestling which isnt considered a sport but whoever he wants to sign from any sport he signs....Ken Shamrock, Mark Henry, Ken Patera even Mike Tyson for a time. He also had the power to start his own football league to compete with the NFL....the XFL. How many people is sports have that power. There was also a body building federation WBF that he started and owned for a few years. Quite simply what Vince wants Vince gets.
That is a few I could name many but just wanted to give you a brief insight to my view of what power is in sports.

Alex Ferguson.....coach of Manchester United. He has been Man U' s coach for 20 years and knows how to play everyone...the players..the media..the fans. He knows what he wants and how to get it. Not to mention he is Scottish and has a temper that makes his players listen!!

Tiger Woods. Because is the best at what he does...obviously the best ever, good-looking, breaking the mold (being Black/Thai/other) articulate, together...setting the pace. He is beyond awesome.
