I would vote for Anthony Joshua because he was gracious and very lovely when my son (a keen fan of boxing) met him recently.

Like him or not, what the fuck has Chris Froome got to do to win it. 4(FOUR) Tour de France wins.

Lewis Hamilton just off the back of another world title as well.
Joshua or Hamilton for me.
Kane? Do me a favour what’s that prick done in an England shirt to warrant anything? Come to think of it what’s he won at Spurs? Mo Farah speaks better English than him as well for fucks sake.

Hamilton probably deserves it but his tax dodging and general smugness may scupper his chances.
After him, on merit, it should be Mo. However, AJ does come across as and is a lovely chap may get him over the line, despite, sporting wise, he's beaten an ageing Russian and a French unknown who only had two weeks to prepare.
Three horse race but my money is on Mo.
Oh, and Kane only got nominated so Lineker can finger his missus during the roll call of 'sportsmen who died this year'.

I’d rule out the Olympians in a non Olympic year, those that didn’t actually win anything like Kane & Konta plus those no one has ever heard of.
Hamilton & Froome deserve it but it has PERSONALITY in the requirements so it will be Joshua
I’d have gone for Eddie JONES

Judging by the betting, AJ already has it hanging on his wall!

Only one of them will receive a huge block vote and that is Harry Kane - take him each way. Footballers always skew these results.

It's a crime Mo has never won it. Hope he gets it this year.

Joshua or Hamilton .
Mo Farrah has never even got into the top three, that say's a lot as he is the greatest middle distance runner probably ever.

Can I also say that Froome should win this, but he has such an unassuming character I forgot about him.

Froome and Farah are probably most deserving along with Peaty.
It’ll probably be Joshua, Hamilton or Kane.
