Yeah, he's a tard. But he's a tard that beat the Patriots in 2 Super Bowls.

Lol.. I appreciate the reference, but it's not like that. Eli has good career stats and consistent playoff success. Doug Williams had a career completion percentage of below 50%. He wasn't even a decent QB. In some ways Elway is pretty overrated. Look up the guy's stats.

[QUOTE="DroidPhysX"] This is like saying Doug Williams is better than John ElwayDroidPhysX

Not entirely. Besides, Doug Williams only won 1 Super Bowl as a starting QB. Eli has conquered the Brady-led Patriots twice. To be frank, I don't like Eli and I really hate Tom Brady. I was hoping that someone would want to debate this ;)

Football - Maradona or Cruyff

And that's the only sport that is worth caring about.

I think that's when you become someone's beyotch.

NBA- MJ or DR. J

MLB- Hank Aaron

Boxing- Muhammad Ali or Mike Tyson

Football- Al Bundy

Gonna name a couple of sports that haven't been mentioned yet.

Javelin - Andreas Thorkildsen

Rugby - Jonah Lomu, Gareth Edwards, Brian O'Driscoll

The 58th Yokozuna Chiyonofuji (Mitsugu Akimoto) AKA "The Wolf" currently Kokonoe Oyakata.

Isn't that a rigged sport?

You can't compare that sort of thing to a fair, competitive sport.

Ok then here, i'll add abit of variety to this,

Cricket: Sir Donald Bradman - Thought the game of Cricket was boring to watch so he went out there and just tried to smash the ball as much as he could, ended up being hte Greatest batsman and player of all time.

Boxing - Obviously Muhammad Ali, although if it was based on personality alone i wouldnt say so.

Kickboxing - I want to say Andy Hug but with only one K-1 title he falls short to guys who won it multiple times, So i'll say Semmy Schilt, tho Semmy has always had a huge physical advantage over his opponents and uses it very well so i wouldnt argue if people called Peter Aerts or Ernesto Hoost the GOAT in kickboxing.

Mixed Martial Arts - By far the GOAT is Fedor Emelianenko, a man that could have competed a MW but instead ruled the most volatile and unpredicatable division in MMA history in the biggest and best MMA organisation the world ever saw, aswell as beating the champions of competing organisations on multiple times.
Undefeated for a decade he was a true mixed martial artist, beating his opponents in every way possible and even defeating them at their own game which is something few can do, but he did.

Now I don't know about your other choices but Ali was far from the greatest of all time. It's because of personality that he gets regarded so by a lot of people.

:lol: No not at all you really shouldn't pay attention to fake controversies the Sumo Kyokai and the press use to push their private agendas. If it was rigged then there would be Japanese champions hauling up victories all over the place. As it is the Japanese haven't won a tournament for over 7 years as the Mongolians and the Europeans have been kicking their butts on a regular basis.

Hulk Hogan is far more famous and culturally known worldwide than Steve Austin. Steve Austin had a great run, and was an amazing performer and character, but his impact on wrestling and pop culture recognition isn't near as big or influential as Hogans was. If you ask random people on the street to name the first wrestler that comes to their mind, 90% will say Hulk Hogan. The other 10% say Andre the Giant or Gorgeous George.Nuck81

[QUOTE="freek666"]

Given that professional wrestling is the only athletic related content that I actively follow, my candidates for GOAT would be Stone Cold Steve Austin (arguably the biggest star in Pro Wrestling history), "Nature Boy" Ric Flair and Lou Thesz.
