Poll: It Is Time TIBB Offcially Decide Who The Sporting GOAT Is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Legend killer]

Right from my sporting knowledge I have weighed up the pros and cons of each contender and decided who the GOAT was in that chosen sport. I could have gone into further sports but have decided to stick to sports which are most discussed on this board

The List in no order

NFL - JERRY RICE

Darts - Phil Taylor

NBA - Shaq O'Neal

Athletics - Michael Johnson

Football - Pele

Tennis - Roger Federer

Boxing - Floyd Mayweather JR

Cricket - Donald Bradman/Shane Warne

F1 - Michael Schumacher

Snooker - Ronnie O'Sullivan

Horse Racing - Tony McCoy

Golf - Tiger Woods

WWE - Triple H/Goldust

Notice I have 2 for cricket as a batsman and bowler both deserve acknowledgement. Just to point out I had Lara just behind Bradman and McGrath just behind Warne

Again I have 2 for Wrestling as I could not separate the two and although I have not watched in about 7 years this was during the golden era so I can say with confidence the has been no one better since

I have no woman as I count them as Men's equals and in the sports listed they are not close to being the GOAT

Me personally the GOATING top 3 goes like this

1.Floyd Mayweather
2. Shaq O'Neal
3. Ronnie O'Sullivan


I would like a lot of votes so we can safely say who TIBB think is the GOAT.

I have added the other option as I appreciate freedom of speech that said in the sports we are discussing there are no viable candidates for the GOAT role so although I will listen to your opinion it will not be processed

[Novo]

Toss up between Vika and Ally Mccoist

[Black Dagger]

Goldust :joker:

[Drew.]

Tiger Woods then Federer

[MTVN]

lol at picking Jerry Rice and not Joe Montana, Marino, or Elway

[MTVN]

Also as good as he was I would put quite a few players above Warne; Sobers, Botham, Viv Richards, Tendulkar, Lara, Murali etc.

[Novo]

very true ^

[Legend killer]

As I said MTVN I separated batters and bowlers. So that already takes Tendulkar.Richards and Lara out the equation as Bradman owns all off them combined. For reference I have Lara ahead of Tendulker

Murali i'm sorry but you can't be serious. Bowls with an illegal action which the authorities bent to rules around just to accommodate. To Boot he bowled in spin friendly condition more often then not whilst Warne was bowling in seam friendly pitches. What makes me LOVE Warne was his last ashes series. With McGrath down the bowling attack was so pathetic that Shane had to bowl with the bloody new ball and he Was fuken amazing with it nearly forcing victories from the jaws of defeat

[Legend killer]

Also Henry Shefflin will always be the undisputed GOAT but I will leave that for another day

http://resources0.news.com.au/images/2011/04/06/1226034/711228-muttiah-muralitharan.jpg

Fair enough I did not see the seperation and it is good that you have Lara above Tendulkar, still though Murali has more test wickets at a better average from fewer matches, hard to argue with that, plus they've reviewed his actions many times and found it legal. Murali had to pretty much carry that Sri Lanka to become as good a team as they were, Warne was playing for Australia when they were comfortably the best side in the world and had by far the strongest batting line up giving him a much more comfortable position

[Legend killer]

You say more comfortable postion but like I said Murali 95% of the time would have bowled in much more spin friendly conditions then Warne. Also I would put a huge amount of Money or Murili having bowled a fair majority more overs then Warne any way we can find this out???

[Legend killer]

Also the carrying part??? What exactly did he carry them too??? Put Warne in his place and they win a major tourney in that time

[MTVN]

Well the benefit Warne got from the strength of the Aussie's line up at least balances out Murali's advantage from playing in more spin friendly conditions, like you said you almost put McGrath in the poll but Sri Lanka didn't have any bowlers near his level to support Murali. The Aussies could just have McGrath and Gillespie take the wickets off most of the top order and then Shane just comes in and bowls at the rabbits, Murali had to do most of it by himself

Murali has bowled just under 7340 overs, 800 wickets at an average of 22.72

Warne has bowled 6784 overs, 708 wickets at an average of 25.41

That's in tests of course, can't be bothered to compare for other formats, pretty close but Murali edges it

[Legend killer]

Well played for finding out the overs I could not be bothered lol

So talking tests alone that's a difference of 556 overs for 92 wickets so that's a difference of something like 3300 and something balls that's a HUGE DIFFERENCE if we are being totally honest for just 92 wickets

Also those who have voted other bloody state who that other is

[Legend killer]

Also in the one day's I think the difference may be even greater TBH

[Legend killer]

Would love to know who voted for Shaq have a sneaky feeling it was SOBIG

[MTVN]

But going by what he achieved before Warne got a wicket just less than every 10 overs, so even if he had bowled those 556 overs he wouldn't have reached Murali's wicket total. Plus Murali bowled that many more overs in actually less tests than Warne which shows how much Sri Lanka relied on him

But anyway that is no disrespect to Shane, they are both great bowlers, Warne was the main reason I started out as a leg spinner until I realised I could barely turn the ball. Murali just edges it for me though

[Shaun]

i have gone for the almighty pele because he seems like a bit of a cool guy

[Legend killer]

Fair do's you at least you validated your point unlike some

That said GOATS GONNA GOAT I am afraid

[GiRTh]

No Michael Jordan? Your poll loses credibility right there.

Shaq aint even as good as Hakeem Olajuwan, Moses Malone, Wilt, Bill Russell etc. When you talk seriously about the greatest of all time you need to put a bit more thought into it. Sorry.

[GiRTh]

This poll is just for yourself so why have you made it public? You arent listening to anyone and your choices are ludicrous to say the least. I fail to see why you bothered with this.

[Legend killer]

Your point is valid if we are talking longevity BUT if you actually think that prime for prime Jordan was MORE DOMINANT then Shaq you are showing yourself up TBH.

[GiRTh]

Who was more dominant than Wilt? You should rename this to 'GOAT sportsmen that Legend Killer has heard of.'

[GiRTh]

Also, you talk about dominant - although something tells me you just made that up on the spot. So was Ronnie O'sullivan seriously more dominant than Stephen Hendry? When was that cuz I remember other wise.

[Legend killer]

Don't deflect so your telling me Prime for Prime (note I am not talking longevity) Jordan was more dominant then Shaq??

[GiRTh]

Don't deflect so your telling me Prime for Prime (note I am not talking longevity) Jordan was more dominant then Shaq??6 Rings is all I need to point out. Was Shaq more dominant than Wilt? Never. Not even in your twisted recollection of events.

[Legend killer]

To put the Ronnie vs Hendry argument into simple context

PAST HIS PRIME Ronnie is playing at a level that would match or even better prime Hendry every other game

Go look at Hendry's head to head against Ronnie and Higgins?? Steven is a very good player but his WEAK ERA made him look that much better and his head to head vs Ronnie and John proves this I am afraid

[lostalex]

Nastia Liuken

[Legend killer]

6 Rings is all I need to point out. Was Shaq more dominant than Wilt? Never. Not even in your twisted recollection of events.

Fisher better then Lebron

Girth ladies and gents

[GiRTh]

You talk about dominant. You bought that word into it not me. No one was winning events easier than Hendry. Ronnie always struggled with his temperament even in his prime.

If we are to use the word dominant then Stephen Hendry has been the most dominant snooker player that has ever lived.

[GiRTh]

Fisher better then Lebron

Girth ladies and gentsFisher got lucky on a few good team are you saying Jordan got lucky. 6 rings six finals mvp's. Who else has done that? Did Shaq do that ?

[Brother Leon]

No MJ....

I'm out.

Oh and as Girth said...if you are going to pick Shaq then you have to go for Wilt or Bill Russell instead tbh.

[Legend killer]

I would say coming back and winning the WC in an era where pundits rave about it being the strongest EVER without playing a match in a year is as easy as it comes

Like I said most of Stevens success can be attributed to have Ken and Jimmy bottle job white as your main comp

[GiRTh]

[Legend killer]

LOOOOL Wilt played in an era where 95% of centres were half his bloody size for all his success in regular season it did not translate to much when it really mattered in the finals

[Legend killer]

And Ronnie. Lets not forget him.

What THE 18 YEAR OLD RONNIE who embarrassed Hendry at the UK???

[Legend killer]

Shaq's 3-peat:

2000 Finals 38.0 ppg, 16.7 rpg, 2.3 apg, 2.67 bpg, 61.1 FG%
2001 Finals 33.0 ppg, 15.8 rpg, 4.8 apg, 3.40 bpg, 57.3 FG%
2002 Finals 36.3 ppg, 12.3 rpg, 3.8 apg, 2.75 bpg, 59.5 FG%

We will never see such dominance in the NBA again

[Brother Leon]

One of MJ,Wilt,Kareem,Magic,Bird or Russell should rep Basketball tbh. Depends if you prefere big men or Perimeter guys.

Oh waaw, more ridiculousness from LK! Shaq is not even the best center, let alone the best BB player. The whole universe knows thats MJ!

Can a mod delete this thread, and let Girth start a proper one?

I voted for Roger out of the options.

[Legend killer]

sadly it appears many of you remember the Shaq that Flash carried to a ring in 06. There is a reason Girth moved away from the MJ comparison and I would advice you to do likewise there is no happy ending down that road

You do realise when the negotiations were originally done in 09 Floyd AGREED TO EVERY ONE OF PAC'S DEMANDS glove size , purse etc but the fight broke down because Floyd asked him to have drug tests up to the fight in which Pac the man with hundreds on tats responded " I AM AFRAID OF NEEDLES"" and that taking a teaspoon of blood 48 hours (note Floyd would also have done the same thing) would "leave him weak" PMSL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also I guess you did not watch Floyd make the man who nearly KILLED pac look like a dam amateur winning 12-0 after a year long break

PMSL!!!!!!! You don't seem to have a lot of faith in himI know enough to realise that having one offensive American football player in a specialist position is not very comprehensive for a GOAT poll.

There is just so much wrong with your list. No doubt you'll attempt to argue it all away and act all triumphant when you make a good point but your list is woeful and surely you realise why.

Shaq the GOAT NBA player of all time? How ridiculous. I could argue that Charles Barkley with his no rings is a better candidate than Shaq.

[Legend killer]

I should not even have an example to make lool Ronnie was just starting out and was NO WHERE NEAR his prime yet was tapping Hendry's ass at the biggest arenas

The fact, that "Other" is running away with this poll, tells the story!

[Legend killer]

3 years of dominance which has never been matched in the same period by another play

Jordan for reference

1991 Finals 31.2 ppg, 6.6 rpg, 11.4 apg, 2.8 spg, 55.8 FG%
1992 Finals 35.8 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 6.5 apg, 1.7 spg, 52.6 FG%,
1993 Finals 41.0 ppg, 8.5 rpg, 6.3 apg, 1.7 spg, 50.8 FG%

MJ's 2nd 3-peat:

1996 Finals 27.3 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 4.2 apg, 1.7 spg, 41.5 FG%
1997 Finals 32.3 ppg, 7.0 rpg, 6.0 apg, 1.2 spg, 45.6 FG%
1998 Finals 33.5 ppg, 4.0 rpg, 2.3 apg, 1.8 spg, 42.7 FG%

Shaq's 3-peat:

2000 Finals 38.0 ppg, 16.7 rpg, 2.3 apg, 2.67 bpg, 61.1 FG%
2001 Finals 33.0 ppg, 15.8 rpg, 4.8 apg, 3.40 bpg, 57.3 FG%
2002 Finals 36.3 ppg, 12.3 rpg, 3.8 apg, 2.75 bpg, 59.5 FG%

The two most iconic sports people I can think of, of all time, are Ali and Pele.

Pele and Maradona would probably compete for best ever footballer.

For golf it is between Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods.

Ali iconic yes but her did not dominate prime fighter after prime fighter with him being well past his prime himself in his 5th weight division all while going undefeated

How did this go for you :joker::joker:

Most of the Royals are probably in the bookies pockets, just lucky that only three were caught

[Legend killer]

The fact we should have beat a team that spent MILLIONS more then us is an unreal achievement if Hodge had caught that in the 19th we would have

[MTVN]

Only reason you even came close was cos Mumbai imploded and nearly bottled it when they had been cruising to victory, the Royals shouldn't have got anywhere near that 160 odd total they did get as well if Malinga hadn't also self destructed in his last over

[Legend killer]

You do realise we gave Mumbai 20 runs from misfields right?? Not even mentioning the extras from wides etc which more then cancels Malinga's over out (which was due to pressure from yagnik and Hodge) while are mistakes were all our own fault

MUST make you mad watching a team of flat track bullies like RCB

No can't say I count how many runs each team gives away in every innings by each individual fielding error, but even if that's true I don't really see how the fact you gave away a lot of silly runs mean prove you deserved to go through to the final lol. Lots of little things can be pinpointed but let's be fair, Mumbai are the better team in all honesty

And RCB were easily the most entertaining team this season, just didn't have quite strong enough a bowling attack and bottled it at some key moments. Still had this seasons best two batsmen though

It doesn't but you were being very bitter and tried to point to Malinga's over at the end as the only reason we got such a score I was just pointing out without our silly fielding mistakes (20 runs worth) they would not have achieved such a score either

And LOOOOOL at Kohli being better then Watson and Hussey.Sure Kohli and Gayle scored plenty of runs on the lovely flat track of Bangalore but when it mattered on less batter friendly pitches Kohli in particular was no where too be seen

FLAT TRACK BULLIES NO MORE NO LESS

[MTVN]

Haha I suppose you weren't watching our last game then, reduced to 8 overs, up against the best team in the League Chennai, needing a win to have any chance of qualifying, and Kholi comes out and plays a masterclass innings

Sign of a true champion right there, can see the guy captaining India in a couple of years

MICHAELJORDANLAUGHING.GIF I think it is quite apparent you did not watching the game good sir

1. It was 8 OVERS LOOOL. He had no choice but too come out swinging thankfully for him it came off but if it were the full 20 overs would he have been mentally tough enough to plan his innings when he did have a choice of how quick he had to play??? Judging by your finishing position I think not

2. LOOOOL Chennai could not even be bothered to move Dhoni up the order to chase a HUGE score that's how bothered they were about the win

FLAT TRACK BULLIES NO MORE NO LESS

[MTVN]

Obviously it meant he had to bat quickly, that doesnt mean it's easy to adapt to such a drastically shortened game. You could say its harder, when you've been playing 20 overs the last month you know how to time your innings, what a good target and run rate is etc All that goes out the window when the game is then more than halved. Plus Kohli isn't even an opener, yet he put himself up the order and it's pretty impressive to be the dominant run scorer in a partnership with Chris Gayle

I would personally say it's easier. As it such a short innings you don't have decsions to make such as should I see off this bowler and should I play a few balls to get my eye in before I start swinging. You know you have to attack every ball so there is no uncertainty in your shot/decision making. Having AB coming in after you also helps release any pressure on you too boot

Would like to add Missy Franklin to the list a hybrid of lochte and Phelps with all there strengths and none of there weakness
