Only Floyd, PAC, and Hopkins. And they’re all too low. No Crawford or Canelo, etc. They put a bunch of tennis scrubs and DEI WNBA players on there, though.

u calling serena williams a scrub?

Serena and Venus are the only reason tennis has ever been relevant. I'm not talking about them. Those are the only tennis players I give respect to.

And I admit, I’m no tennis master, but a lot of these tennis tournaments are a joke. Doesn’t it say something when three different mother****ers each won 20 Grandslam tournaments.

[The Big Dunn]

That’s about right. I wouldn’t add Crawford or Canelo TBH.

You know that is like a baseball fan saying "I'm no boxing master but those so called boxing champions are a joke. They got multiple so-called champions in the same divisions at the same time and they all are around only 20 wins or so in their career, and even this dude named Muhammed Ali who is considered one of the greatest boxers in history only has 56 wins says something. Any decent starting pitcher on a better than average team can get 50 wins in 3-4 years."

By the way there are 4 GS a year per year each competed by the best individuals in the world. The three that has 20+ GS in Djokovic, Nadal, and Federer just happens to be the three best males to ever play the sport who all happened to play in the same era.

...I actually didn't read the ranking until after I posted, but forget tennis there are way too many basketball AND baseball AND football scrubs on this ranking to borrow the OP's words if anything.

I guess ESPN bias, but frankly some guys listed on that list isn't even in the top 30 in their own sports in the past 25 years let alone all of sports. If anything the tennis guys listed are correct because they basically are the equivalent historically to the likes of Ali and SRR and that caliber.

Not seeing any rugby union/league players or cricket players even though they are major sports and rugby has some of the most athletic MFers in all sports. And no wrestlers (the olympic kind not WWE kind) which again is full of specimens and is an insanely punishing sport. Also rather predictably they overepresent female athletes to a comical degree.

do u not think its odd that serena williams is no2 in this list when she has won 23 singles slams & djokovic has won 24 singles slams and he has played in an era with the 2 best other guys the sport has seen, federer and nadal as his main rivals, thats very odd to me actually

Yeah, I saw that list too. Canelo and Crawford definitely deserve a spot.

bud is a great fighter alrite but why would he deserve a spot, by beating spence?
