I think he's overrated in the UK, and underrated State side. As always, the true worth is in the middle.
I didn't know b-ball was number 2. Funny that the only great b-baller they've ever produced is Ginobli.
I opened a top 5 greatest Argentine athlete thread a few months ago. Wondering where Monzon fit in, sport for sport. I would say he's top 4,...
Good one. I'd imagine it's number 2 behind baseball.
I don't think there's any current nation where boxing is THE biggest sport, but where some places around the globe where it's top 3? Boxing is...
The Rossman rematch was the first Galindez fight I ever watched. I remember buying it on VHS in 2000. I didn't see the first fight that Rossman...
Shout to Galindez's beat down of Kates in their first fight. Definitely one of the all time best Argentine performances
Boxing is a top 3 sport in Argentina. I'm just not entirely sure what's number 2 - boxing or tennis. But Argentina certainly has a deep boxing...
LMFFFFAOOOOOO if you think the biggest sport in Argentina is boxing. I didn't see the whole nation crowding the streets and chanting "Sergio!...
Yup. This is a good one also.
So when Khan edged out Maidana was that like England's revenge for what Maradona did to England?
Santos Laciar's dismantling of Mathebula is also one of my favorites.
Monzon clinically dissecting Griffith in their first fight, and Locche's masterclass over Fuji are my two favorites.
1. I doubt it. In theory it could happen if Mickey got cut up badly, but Cory wasn't known for cutting guys. Ward took a lot of punishment from...
If it's close, then there's no "probably." Canelo will get it.
Had they raced on French clay, Borg would have won.
On a serious note, Leonard, Gretzky, and Borg were all in their physical primes in that race. Pele was only old man, and he still beat Leonard,...
Shoulda had Hagler chasing Leonard. Ray would have won by a mile.
Fuckin Canadians and Gretzky
R9 if he didn't have health/injury issues, and Best if he wasn't out chasing booze and women I reckon could have been in that top 4-5 all time...
Replay of the Rangers-Hibs game just became available in the U.S. Wild ass game. Rangers can't defend for shit.
Rest ease, Smoger. I think he and Lane might have been the two best ever. Neither perfect obviously, no ref ever has been, but as an overall...
Breaking it out down further between the three: I would say Pele was the most athletic/explosive of the three, and perhaps the most ruthless...
Messi and Pele had better longevity, but if you need one of the three at the absolute apex of their powers to win one big match for you, then you...
I don't think there's much between Messi/Pele/Maradona in terms of ability and skill. All on the same exact tier. If anything, going off film and...
This is probably the greatest irony ever... Paris will go right back to rooting for Messi in 10 days.
Messi thinking: "I don't even know who the fuck that guy is."
They Kane'd the bed.
Nigeria beat Canada on penalties.
Lautaro Martinez playing like he belongs on Inter Miami not Inter Milan.
Separate names with a comma.
