Where does messi rank in the all time sporting greats

[Mr Ehrmantraut]

he'll never be better than Pele.

That's just nostalgic nonsense.

Just like the people who say Muhammad Ali will always be the greatest, which is ludicrous. with today's modern training techniques, dieticians and strength and conditioning experts, he would be worked over by Tony Bellew.

even though he blatantly is in terms of assists and goals.....

with today's "modern training" ali would eat processed foods and weigh 260 lbs in his early 20's. he'd probably have full blown betus.

This is true. Guys like Jack Dempsey, Jack Johnson, and Joe Louis wouldn't hack it in today's era. Haye, Klitschkos, Wilder, and Arreola would be too much for them.

People overrate black and white footage too much.

[Mooshashi]

Below Barry Sanders but above Phil Helmuth.

Messi's so full of roids that he'll probably be dead by the start of next season. People in the know are aware of this.

[BKM-2010]

Without the growth hormone Messi would have been a messy midget, literally. The way I always read it is that they just made sure the man would grow up to have a male human height.

[HWChampion]

He ranks below both Ronaldo's at this time.

You nothing about football. And I'm a Real Madrid fan.

[Targaryen]

If he gets that World Cup he'd probably move above Maradona as the very best.

[New England]

modern HW training methods include sitting on the couch, crushing beers, and sleeping through roadwork.


modern HW don't even run, you silly goose.
