Bane is already GOAT.

John Terry. It looks like Chelsea are going to win everything and it's too late for him to be sold

>>74133198

Who?

>>74133198
>no NT

>>74133160
Bonds is going to unretire. Cap this post.

>>74133160
Fed's been the GOAT for years since passing Pete, he didn't need any crowning. Everything since then has been gravy.

>>74133346

I mean, that's true. But now not even retarded Nadal fans can argue it with a straight face.

Russel Westbrook will carry the Thunder to an NBA championship, making him the automatic goat, having beat the 2 seed spurs (OKC was 7th seed), the Rockets, and then Golden State, and then finally Cleveland

That woulda been lit

LeBron
Crosby

The winners are going to keep winning. This is Trump's America now!

Brady and Federer, and that's it.

I can't think of anyone else is both 1) dominant and legendary enough to earn GOAT status and 2) still hasn't really done enough to earn GOAT status yet.

Wrong, Federer's titles in the weakest era of the sport are about as valuable as the time I won in year 5 PE. Nadal is #1, Djokovic #2, and Fed #3. Just because you like his style doesn't make him better than either of them.

>>74134727
>muh weakest era

>>74134743
Give me one argument that Federer is a better tennis player than Djokovic or Nadal that doesn't involve titles, just purely based on their play. You literally can't.

>>74134727
>muh weak era
there it goes again

>>74134733

>literally nothing with the NT

This is a thread for GOAT of GOATs not just whoever you like best.

Football doesn't have a GOAT of GOATs.

302 weeks no. 1

>>74134756
When his best competition was fucking Roddick. You can't honestly believe that has any value?

>>74133396
>LeBron
Sorry kid, but he's a shill for hill

>>74134746
He doesn't play ugly defensive """tennis""" and grunt like a woman.

>>74134756
If you're saying that's really impressive, then surely the man who managed to topple him while he was still in his prime is even more impressive?

>>74134756
His competition was Roddick and fucking Hewitt.

My nan would be world number 1 with hacks playing.

>>74134746
35 years into his life still competing at a high level to stay in top 10, and just the year before that he was in the top 3.
Djokoshit and Nadull can only hope their bodies don't begin to fail by the time they reach 33.

>>74134760
Whoever he plays against is irrelevant. You can't choose the year to be born in and the players you play against. When Rod Laver won all slams in 1962 and 1969 he was playing against peasants with wooden rackets. You try to tell me Laver's achievements have no value again?

>>74134776
Then why aren't your nan number 1? Of course, she was too busy getting fucked by you since the inbred retard you are

And the one of the players he played against (Nadal) he has a losing record of 23-12 against, during the best years of his career. How can you remotely call that GOAT tier? He is clearly the worse player.

>>74134796
Nadal H2H against Coric: 1-2
Nadal H2H against Davydenko: 4-5
Djokovic H2H against Karlovic: 1-2

>>74134805
how can you remotely call that GOAT tier when you have a losing h2h against a shitty teenager with no talent (Coric), weak era bald mug (Davy) and 38yo servebabby manchild with no groundstroke

EBAM

>>74134789
He's closer than most people think. If he beats the lolriors again he might have a case.

>>74134811
>>74134805
I hope you're not claiming that 2-1 or 4-5 is remotely comparable to 23-12. 2-1 is too small a sample size to be relevant at all and 4-5 is around even with his worst style matchup in the sport. Federer not only has a massive losing record against Nadal, but he also has one against Djokovic too, who plays a completely different style.

One of them being a walkover for Djoko.

>>74134829
A losing H2H is a losing H2H, no excuses.
Nadal 0-4 balding old russian mafia mug on hardcourt, never defended a title outside clay

Federer is the GOAT, all the hard stats are in his favor
>18 grand slams, latest one even achieved after than man passed 35
>302 weeks at No. 1
Of course, Nadal and Djokovic will definitely surpass him thanks to the H2H stat... but they have to get 18 slams first. Until then they're only second or third in the equation.

H2H is a product of matchup and circumstances.
How many grass tournaments are there compared to the number of clay tournaments? How many times Nadal dragged himself to meet Federer on a grass tournament compared to the time Federer dragged himself to meet Nadal on clay?

Dominik Hrbaty at his retirement also 3-1 H2H against Federer, this old Czechoslovakian mug definitely a greater player than Federer

>>74134916
And Federer beat 4 top 10 players on his way to his latest GS at 35. That's something only a few players have ever done, let alone at that age.

>>74134916
Plus 6 WTFs, which is also the record.
Bot has 5.
Nadal has NONE.

Halle and Queen's were 250 till 2015 and held at the same time. Very unfair for Federer!

You are beyond a massive dumbass.

>muh head to head

is how I know you're a complete moron.

Get this shitbrains - Federer and Nadal are 50/50 when normalized for surfaces.

Anyways, tennis is about more than head to head. It's not Fed's fault that Nadal was getting bounced year after year by guys like Tsonga, Gonzalez, etc.

Oh and 35 y/o Fed just beat Nadal in a slam final, lmao.

Fuck off and die Nadull fan. Truly the scum of the earth.

>>74135450
Reminder that Nadal went 8-0 against Federer in two years, 2008 and 2013:

Honestly?

John Cena
Hes nearing the end of his career, needs only one more title to become the GOAT 17 time champion. Already is known worldwide, and has a power level barely anyone can compete with, barring AJ Styles.

Rooney when he leaves competitive football and goes to China.

Vargod will be the recognized GOAT until Cristiano puts 5 past Belgium in the World Cup final.
