Roger Federer

You think? I wouldn't agree with that. Bring statto Baz out of the woodwork and go find their head to head record

None of them would have beaten Steve Davis in his prime

Possibly, although SD himself has come out and said that the standard of the modern game is higher than it was when he was in his pomp.

Don't forget that in the modern game there are more devastating potters than there used to be. Nobody could out-smart Davis when it came to safety exchange, but he can't get involved in as many as he used to these days because of much more aggressive play from the likes of O'Sullivan and Williams taking on outrageous pots that would have been unthinkable in the 80s.

I may be mistaken but I also heard that the pockets aren't quite so forgiving as they used to be.

Fedor Emelianenko The most unstopable piece of smashing machine I have ever seen

p.s. not watched pride for a couple of years so may now be wrong.

Iron Mike Tyson at his peak. Completely unchallenged until he let money and Don King get into his head. He had opponents fearing him before going in the ring. That's intimidation!!!

Federer is the most complete sportsman I've seen in my life. No temper tantrums like Tiger!!!!

 

[gambitt]

Federer actually used to have a pretty bad temper when he was younger, smashed rackets and all

although nowhere near as bad as Goran or Marat Safin

They are playing on Tuesday(Seoul), Thursday(Kuala Lumpur) & Saturday(Macau).

Saw on the news today that Sampras actually beat Federer in one of the games this week.
