@crappycraperson

Did you want cris by any chance?

 

[V.O.]

Did you want cris by any chance?

Nah, was always going for Rousey based on star quality and impact on the sport even if Cyborg may be and Amanda Nunes definitely would be better pure fighters

I was weighing up ronda or cris but decided cris would fill the remaining criteria better for me.

Any team with Fergie wins by default. Sorry folks. Absence has really made the heart grow fonder

I thought about picking someone else for a moment then realised how foolish that was. Just searching for his images nearly brought a tear to my eye

On a United forum especially, that could very easily be a big factor! The man who trained and cornered Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, and Sugar Ray Leonard along with 12 more world champion boxers doesn't have a bad CV either though.

I was thinking of going with Tysons ex trainer but decided to go with the man who inspired Fergie instead.

 

[V.O.]

Surprised to see nobody take Mayweather as a villain, and nobody bother with any drivers (Senna, Schumacher, maybe even Valentino Rossi). Pele falling to the dregs of the last round maybe shows where people view him post-Messi and Ronaldo as well.

Was very close to taking Pele when I picked LeBron. The latter fit better in prescribed categories.

 

[altodevil]

It was Mayweather or Ronnie for me. Went for the the one who is actually the best ever in their sport. Which I think is what the main point of the game is. So I was surprised at some choices.

Na mate, it's all because of the 2 female picks who also have to fit criterias.

Mate, I hope you didn't pick Ronnie as a villian because you'd be hard pressed to find any snooker fans who dislike him.

Are you saying females are less likely to fit criteria? Sexist.

The only one that baffled me was Brodeur, because even if for some strange reason we were forced to have an ice hockey keeper, I'd have Dominik Hasek instead.

I am not a misogynist samid! I love all women, I am a man for everyone... I even paid good money to watch the womens football at the Olympics! it was boring as feck though.

A showman who overacts and misbehaves. The nastier you are the more they love you? Yeah I took Ronnie for that, for sure.

Who you calling a dreg?

Seriously though, I was amazed that he was available. Am thinking I may have problems with a couple of the categories mind.
