Anyway basketball and tennis have issues with cluster of GOATS at the top. For undisputed I’d have to say Ali, Woods, Brady and Gretzky as the Mount Rushmore. I’m not a big enough soccer fan to really say if Pepe stood out that much.

Tiger and Ali are both disputed IMO.
Ali is the most influential athlete of all time, but I’m not sure he’s the Greatest of Boxer all time.
Interestingly enough a name that’s probably being missed here is Floyd Mayweather - he’s a jerk but he’s undefeated and it’s tough to argue 50-0.
If needing to be the unanimous GOAT in your sport is a criteria then The Mt Rushmore should probably be
Tom Brady
Serena Williams
Wayne Gretzky
Pele
And I think even those last two are arguable
