Answer 2

I believe the most famous gladiator of all time is Spartacus. Rather the most infamous. Spartacus is actually famous for what he did out of the arena, leading a rebellion against rome. However, you could argue that Commodus, emperor of Rome was the most famous in the arena. He boasted over 1000 fights, vs man and beast though at little risk to himself.

Answer 3

There were several "favorite" gladiators. Th gladiatorial era lasted roughly 700 years and over that length of time there were many favorites. It's impossible to name them all. Remember, gladiators have been compared to today's rock stars. One may be popular for a time, but then another will gain fame and favor in his place.
