Well as much as I dislike the person, I would have to say Deion Sanders. He played 2 sports professionally, football and baseball, and he played then both very well. Baseball he hit decent and was great at fielding. Football he played on offense and defense and played both well, he could block passes, tackle, and on the other side he could catch and run the ball well. So id your looking for one of the more well rounded people I'd have to go with him.

Muhammad Ali. If he didn't have to flee the country due to the military draft and then once the war was over and he couldn't get a fight license for a while, he would've had a boxing record like you wouldn't believe. He was the greatest.
Also, I am a huge sports fan and respect all sports but boxing is such a difficult sport, it's not even funny. Seriously, go punch a heavy bag for three minutes at a crack with 1-2 minute breaks in between 12 sessions(in Ali's time, they would go 16 or more rounds regularly) and you will be in such pain. Ali also didn't schedule a fight a year or retire when he was tired, he fought regularly.
ALI, ALI, ALI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cassius Clay//Muhammed Ali - Boxing
First we can start with saying boxing is the hardest sport hands down. Other athletes couldn't last one round in the ring. The training alone makes other sports look easy, then the fight is a whole other "ball game".
Ali was lighting fast, had crazy endurance and a chin of steel. He was also entertaining. I liked how he could predict what round he would knock out his opponents. And the man was a genius in the ring. He also came back from the worst losses of his careers to beat the same people who gave them the loss. He was also into politics. More than just an athlete. He stood for what he believed in.

Even though she's relatively unknown among professional athletes, you won't find a more dominant or comparatively talented athlete than Babe Zaharias. I used to think it was Armstrong, M.J., Kremlin, Ali, or someone like that. But after seeing what she accomplished, my vote goes to Babe.
She was a dominant athlete for her time in Baseball, Softball, Basketball, Track, Tennis, and Golf. Here are a few of her accomplishments:
She won 2 gold medals and one silver in the 1932 olympics for Track and Field
She set 5 world track and field records in a single afternoon
She was a 3 time All American Basketball player
She dominated the WPGA and LPGA in golf winning 17 tournaments in a row
6 Time Associated Press Female Athlete of the Year
Still holds record for women's baseball throw

Before he got hurt Bo Jackson who played in the NFL and MLB. Bo could hit a baseball to the moon on Saturday and out run entire NFL defenses on Sunday.
He was a phenomenal athlete.
