Every successful athlete has a big ego. Without one they wouldn’t have the confidence needed to beat their rivals. Plus, when you’re making millions (only to blow it all later on) and smashing tons of groupies (only to have them expose you on Twitter) then you’re bound to be cocky. But who is the cockiest of them all?
One boxer claimed he would fight Jesus if it came to it and an NBA baller simply told reporters “I don’t give a fuck what you think.” Cristiano Ronaldo, Mike Tyson, Deion Sanders, Usain Bolt and many more arrogant assholes confident athletes—these are the 50 Cockiest Athletes of All Time.
