dundeefc1783 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 You clearly don't have the first clue about what it takes to be a top class cyclist.Both Murray and Hoy will have put hours into their sports and both are up there as the best we've produced.For me though, the greatest individual sportsman we've produced is still Jim Clark.Very little skill involved it's all about fitness. Yeah clearly he is a very fit guy and has put a lot of work into that but to suggest he is anywhere near the level of some like Andy Murray is absolutely crazyIf Josh Taylor continues to win at the highest level for next couple of years he surely has to be up there 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask anyone in the street in any part of the UK who Jim Clark was and you can guarantee about 90% of folk won't have a clue who he was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggyness Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Was he up against the 3 greatest race drivers of all time when he won all these races?Going by that logic Andy Murray is more of a great than Messi or Ronaldo as they didn't play against Pele or Maradona. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's nothing close to what I'm arguing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggyness Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 What? [emoji23] What kind of fucking logic is that? That's nothing close to what I'm arguing.It's quite simple, you're basing your argument about Clark on your opinion that he wasn't competing against greats of the sport (ignoring the fact that he is a great of his sport). So rather than compare judge someone on their own merits. Have you never heard of the saying you can only beat what's in front of you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Federer is 40 in a few weeks, still gliding around the court effortlessly. His physical conditioning is something else.Get the feeling he could be in the top 20 when he was 50, if he fancied it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
