Gretzky has 200+ more goals then Lemieux, has 900+ more assists.
Gretzky had 11 100 assist seasons while Mario had only one. Gretzky had 4 200 point seasons and Lemieux had none.
Gretzky>Lemieux.

What about other sports? I don't have enough background to make an educated guess in all of the sports.
Hockey: Gretzky (80+% maybe?)
Football:
Baseball:
Soccer: (Maradona and Pele both 40% each maybe)
Is it more competitive for GOAT in other sports or is there a more clearcut GOAT candidate than Jordan?
No, the 73% you're referring to was only with an ESPN poll right after The Last Dance aired. If they did the poll again now - months removed from The Last Dance - that number would be smaller.
And for Jordan to only get 73% of the vote after such a heavy push with ESPN for The Last Dance is kind of shocking. If that poll was taken in 2004 that number would've easily been above 90%.

Peak Tyson is indeed was a force to be reckoned with. But overall I think there is a long list of goat candidates that I am not an expert on by any means. There's SRR, Ali, Joe Louis that make a case for boxing's GOAT.

It's definitely Sugar Ray Robinson. He's the LeBron of boxing. He was great at everything.
I'd go with Sugar Ray Robinson and Muhammad Ali as #1 and #2.
Boxing is a sport where being undefeated doesn't help your case.

NBA lottery pick
Re: GOATs in Other Sports
Best that I've seen in these sports: (since late 90's)
Soccer: Messi
Tennis: Federer
NFL: Brady
NHL: Crosby
Boxing: Mike Tyson
Honestly all those guys are probably my all time GOAT's as well except the NHL where I'd go Gretzky. He was just insane in terms of dominance! Kind of like if Wilt won 5 rings in the NBA while putting up the stats that he did.
