Is Pechito López famous outside of Argentina?

In F1 I wouldn't say it's hands down, some people say Fangio or Senna were the best
>>
>>64296895
There's a difference between thinking and doing.
Pele may have won the world cup 3 times but it's not he carried them. He was surrounded by GOAT's. Maradona was surrounded by a decent team nowhere near Pele's level and Messi I don't know that much. I think the current Argentinain team isn't defensive enough especially in the midfield area.

Babe Ruth has to be the GOAT of GOATs

Amazing pitcher (set records tier) that decided he wanted to bat and became the greatest batter of all time

The man created legends like pic related and even cursed a team for 86 fucking years.

Imagine if the god of your sport come down to play on earth. That was Babe Ruth.
>>
>>64296933
On motorsports enthusiasts circles, of course, since the USF1 fraud. But there is no denying after what he did on WTCC he's the greatest.
>>
>>64296937
>the current Argentinain team isn't defensive enough
But our defense is the best part of our team

Out main problem is the lack of creative midfielders and killer centrefowards

It's not the same at all. You can't really compare stats across generations, but you can compare a player to their peers. Ruth was so far beyond his peers it was insane. Players in the CFL are only in that league because they're not good enough for the NFL, so basically they're shitty compared to their peers.

T.bh he barely had really good competition when he was in his prime. Safin, Roddick were solid players but nowhere near as good as Nadal and Djokovic. I think Djokovic is about to enter a same sort of dominating era as Nadal's career is going to same way as his hairline, Murray just isn't good enough to consistently beat him and Federer is down to his last year probably (can see him calling it quits after or shortly after Rio 2016).

Apart from that you've got players like Wawrinka, Nishikori, Gasquet etc. who are clearly a tier below Djokovic.

Really miss Del Potro t.bh

His whole career was when hardly anyone payed attention to rally, including manufacturers and drove against no one of note.
Basicly he trashed shit competition.
Real GOATS like Colin McRae and Tommi Mäkinen faced the best of the best all the time and manufacturers were neck and neck in car development, so the parity was much greater.
Loeb is one of the goats no doubt, I'm just not sure he is as great as his results indicate.

Not to say that his stats aren't mind blowing but he was the only man in the world who took cricket seriously during his career.. Everyone else was fighting the war.

Political reasons shouldn't be such a factor to determine a GOAT. Same applies to Fat Babe Ruth. Taking a sport seriously while no one else does is indeed a factor.

Also POO2LOO, Rajeesh, etc.
