I don't really follow basketball or hockey so I can't comment. But I'd say for pure dominance of a position Justin Verlander's gotta be up there amongst active baseballers. And for football there's Tom Brady.

Major sports you say :think:

Football (Soccer to you un-cultured reprobates :D) - Cristiano Ronaldo is probably the most all round player at the moment.

Rugby - Richie McCaw the man is just a machine.

Cricket - Hashim Amla is a run machine; but Kallis without a doubt is the most impressive and has been for the last 12 years or so.

Snooker - Ronnie O'Sullivan

Darts - Phil 'the powerhouse' Taylor

Bowls - Greg Harlow

I think I have covered all the major sports there.

I think I have covered all the major sports there.

There are only two.
Rugby - Richie McCaw.
Union - Richie McCaw.

Those guys are phenomenal. I heard Richie won the World Cup on one foot.

Football - Peyton Manning (he turned a crummy Denver team into a force)
Hockey - Ovechkin although he can be hot and cold.

I don't know enough about baseball or basketball to say.

Basketball - Lebron James

Football - Manning, if we're not counting Super Bowls. Peterson a close 2nd. Brady, if we are counting Super Bowls. Or Rodgers.

Baseball - Tough. I'll say Pujols even though he hasn't been the same since going to LA and I hesitate to take a 1st baseman

Hockey - :idunno:

Soccer - Messi
