Hey its all opinions, Im the other way though. I think Messi and ROnaldo have possibly been the best all round careers 15years plus year in year out goals, trophies, personal accolades, level of performance....only really defenders have had similar careers performance wise for so long in there own positions, really is exceptional for attckign players.
For me though in terms of ability and peak performance levels I think there ar eseveral who have been on a similar level to both of them for 3/4years Ronaldhino, Rivaldo were sensational for Barcelona for a period, Del Piero, George Weah wre nat far off for a period, but in terms of pure talent and ability and individual performance for me Maradona and Ronaldo were better than anything I have seen in there peaks....miles better than Ronaldo, please Ronaldo at Barcelona fo rthat season and Inter Milan was simply unplayable in a league with the best defenders in the world and some of the best of all time, he destroyed all of them, Maradona won the league at a side never expecgted to, won a world cup and reached a final in sucessive tournaments that were probably not the best side in the tournament, certainly not in 1990, Ronaldo won the world cup and also reached another final and stood out in both tournaments until the illness before the final, its different opinions and different eras, but miles better come on, there isnt a player in the istory of football "miles" better than ROnaldo, thats just a naive comment
