Blueshoff 11,917 Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Although I dislike Ronaldo you can't dispute his talent/record/dedication I just can't warm to Messi. rabc10000 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieD 19,070 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I'm not saying Ronaldo isn't extremely hard-working and dedicated but the way people talk about him, you would think he started with the gifts of Titus Bramble and dragged himself to world class level through sheer practice. He was the most expensive teenager in English football history when Utd signed him with much fanfare, immediately got plaudits for his skills, and ended up a Euros finalist, team of the tournament member, and Ballon d'Or nominee while he was still a teenager. He is obviously incredibly gifted. Roy Keane was at least as driven and obsessed with excellence as Cristiano Ronaldo, but that's obviously not sufficient to play like him Rangers_no1 and TheKingObv 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme_4 34,917 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I like that Ronaldo doesn’t get tattoos so he can continue to regularly give blood donations. He’s got an ego obviously, but there’s been a few wee bits like that which I like. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.T.G 10,773 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Tyson would destroy Ali if both in their prime. Pound for pound Ali beats Tyson hands down. But the 18yo Tyson was a murderer and unbeatable MMA Top 5 1. Jon Jones (cgaf avout PEDs) 2. George St Pierre 3 4 and 5 a mix up between Khabib, Fedor and Aldo.

That's what I'm interested in Impossible to decide and a futile argument because no way to correctly judge it unless on stats. Either one can be classed as the best and strong argument for both. For me, Messi just shades it but I have been known to say Ronaldo. So to summarise I’d say Zidane rabc10000 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyson in that short period before he started to decline was amazing to watch, but because he had an exciting style, more than him being this unbeatable force that everyone mixes the two up with. Lewis at his prime is completely the wrong opponent for Tyson, even in his prime. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
