I’ll throw Platini, Puskas and Eusebio in the Messi group too

So you can't remember pele but take it on others authority, and puskas and eusebio...yet messi scored 700 goals in your lifetime and he may not be in your top 10 drinking last night bob?

Yeah he’d probably make the top 10

Hyperbole alone would guarantee him that

Messi - Greatest footballer ever
Usain Bolt - Greatest sprinter ever
Roger Federer- Greatest Tennis player ever
Ronnie O’Sullivan - Greatest snooker player ever
Michael Phelps - Greatest swimmer ever

Isn’t this generation blessed?

Not really the same generation though are they? And it’s not surprising given the increase in ability universally in most sports ie world records being broken year on year. Every single one of those you have mentioned has a record of some sort that points to them being the best ever in their sports. You must be wumming surely?

Maybe I’m mistaken but I thought bolt holds records in several sprinting events...
