Actually - define ‘greatest’ in the context you meant it in the OP

it’s a stupid arbitrary thread so I can’t really :frowning:

BUT maybe who has had the largest and most lasting net positive influence on humanity.

he sounds interesting! Should read his whole wiki today :slight_smile:

Reckon being on money only really gives you fame for a couple of hundred years at most, don’t think most people really care who was holy roman emperor and so on anymore

Makes sense. I chose Ali because I think he was one of very few ‘global’ celebrities. He was known (and idolised) outside of just the 1st World

I love the concept of Muhammad Ali more than nearly any famous person for sure.

Conor McGregor

Left Shark

Ooft. Did not know that

just reading it now

When the German Commander asked him to surrender at the battle of the bulge, his official response was ‘NUTS’. The Germans didn’t know what it meant and were quite annoyed when they found out.

Very good pun imho
