This is a logical argument for Ronaldo and I would agree with it. But that exact same logic applies to Jordan.
not really, jordan has held a high profile since retirement. the NBA is a bigger sport than boxing, so from that alone - as he's considered the best - he's frequently referenced. he owns a team, he's in commercials still/has endorsement deals, he's a meme, then of course there is his billion dollar jordan brand. 10 year olds know michael jordan, maybe more skewed to the US and China, but they know him. you'd be hard pressed to find a 10 year old, especially outside of black american kids, who could identify tyson today.

I was torn between Tiger, Messi, or Ronaldo. I feel like more people know Tiger. Ronaldo and Messi need more security where they are known.

Definitely Ronaldo

A part of me wants to say MJ but he isn't playing anymore and is not really in the media as much since he doing shyt behind the scenes. Ronaldo has continuous popularity since he is at least on screen every day

Im sure there's alot more people worldwide who know who Pogba is than Durant

Yeah that list seems skewed as it's only based on endorsments and social media. Pretty sure there's thousands of kids and poorer people with no/little social media access who have no idea who Durant is but prob know Pogba. Even more ridiculous are those golf players (outside of Tiger), I'm on the computer everyday and on a sports forum and I never ever heard of Phil Mickenson.
