Boxing
- Mayweather has always been better than Pacman.

American Football
- Drew Brees > Tom Brady.
- Brett Favre should never be in the conversation of GOAT QB.
- Peyton Manning would have had multiple Super Bowls if his defense didn't suck for 90% of the time he was there.
- Alex Smith will never be a good quarterback and he will keep the 49ers from winning a Super Bowl.

Agreed on pretty much everything except for Brees > Brady and Alex Smith.

6) Brett Lee was a better bowler than Glenn McGrath.

This is a unpopular sport opinions thread, I'm shocked anyone believes that is true.

McGrath was 10x the bowler Brett ever will be.

Andres Iniesta is currently the best European Football player.
Philipp Lahm is the best fullback of the past decade.
Ronaldinho at his peak- actually close to Messi.
Zidane the most influential midfielder in history.
Mario Gomez a better CF than Benzema, Higuain.

That is all.

He is the better goal scorer, they are better players.

More Basketball
- Mid-range Jumpshot > Driving to the basket.
Case in point: Tyreke Evans. 220lbs and can't shoot outside of 10 feet. Did I mention he is a shooting guard? Imo, developing a jumpshot is harder to learn than being able to get to the hole.

- Jason Kidd is the GOAT PG.
- Manu without injuries is/was better than Wade.

Tennis

The womens game is far more enteraining to watch then the men.
It's like a great trainwreck reality show or Wrestling when at it's best.
You got a ton of storylines going on
Will wily vets Serena and Venus make a comeback on their favorite surface or are they washed up?
Is Maria gonna solidify herself as an all time great and start a great 2nd chapter of her career and win more Slams or will her serve fail her in a big match?
Will Kim Clijsters win her final Wimbledon appearance or go out to some midcard jobber early on?
Will Azarenka or Kviota solidify themselves in the main event scene?
Will some midcarder only tennis diehards believe pull off yet another upset in Major?

The mens game right now is like a CSI-NCIS Reality Show where every episode is the same.

Right now you can already book Djoker,Fed,Nadal in the semis and the only "drama is will it be Murray or someone else that bends over for Nadal in the semis.

And it wouldn't be so bad if Federer was playing his Picasso like 2003-2008 peak but right now number 1 and 2 are Johnny Mac level awful ambassadors for the game. Nadal's grinding style is ugly to watch and Djokovic and Murray are 1st class dbags. And don't even get me started on Djoker and Nadals,Mary Piercesque unsportmanlike delaying of the serve that is far more annoying then any of the grunting the women get ripped for.

Also Nadal and Federer will never be consider the GOAT. There slams totals are inflated by the fact that they have homogenization the surfaces. No way Nadals game would ever win a Major on Pre 2002-03 Hardcourts/Grass.

This post is nonsense. I disagree with everything. Women tennis is unpredictable but it does not mean it is better. Tell me who is the GOAT then.

**TheIllusiveMan** · 06-24-2012, 05:32 AM

I really don't see how the Women's is better than the men's. It's over in about 50mins, where as with the men's game you could get a 4 hour epic battle.

And after Wimbledon... Murray will be the GOAT!

[quote=Henry Hill;11609698]Football:

Justine Henin would now be chasing Graf's Open era Grand Slam record if she hadn't oddly retired at a young age. /QUOTE]

It's not like she retired at her peak or anything her quality dipped big time in 08 and she had gotten routed by Serena and Maria,lost to Schiavone and Safina and needed 3 hours to beat Srebotnik in Dubai. Like Bjorg she saw she was on the decline and decided to get the f out.
