I believe the most famous sports personality in the world today would be David Beckham. By this I mean simply he is the most recognizable sports star in the world - I do not think her earns the most or is the best but the most recognizable all around the world.
I am not a Football fan, however his universal appeal extends far greater than football fans and even soccer fans. he is a Hollywood star and it is hard not to buy a 'gossip magazine' that he is not in. Women and kids all over the world know who he is.
Others would be Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Ali and other footballers such as Pele, Ronaldo and Ronaldinio.
Ali would still be up there given his huge impact on African countries.
By far the most recognisable sports personality is Diego Armando Maradona.
All others are far behind.
