Please tell them. He is not a great fighter . He is good but not great . Wilder will basically destroy him .
Very boring match. No excitement at all .

SonofDevil:
who is this one .did u start watching boxingyesterday every boxing match has its own game plan. Wilder big fight was fury that hasn't box for 2 years yet he managed to get a draw after fury pummeled him and won on ref score card.

Wilder doesn't have any technique only rely on his big shot.a experience fighter like dilian Whyte and fury will beat wilder on their day

CaptainMeks:
In your dreams. Wilder has no strategy. All he does is swing swing swing. A skillful and strategic boxer will kill Wilder

garfield1:

macho44:

philip0906:

kushercain:

The problem with this country is more fundamental than it appears. The citizens don't speak with one voice so the so called democracy is dead on arrival. Take for instance this Sowore issue, we're now divided into four factions.

1. The ones who still support Buhari despite all his excesses
2. The ones who doesn't support him but are still filled with ire how their 'kinsman' Jonathan was booted out of office. Even though at the time, he was performing awfully which left Nigerians with no choice.
3. The ones who initially supported Buhari due to the excesses of Jonathan but later found the former is even worse. These ones are the few open minded ones with no blind loyalty to any particular individual but driven by sheer desire for the Country's prosperity.
4. The indifferent ones who are probably doing well financially and don't really care about the political happenings in the country.

Since the citizens aren't speaking with one voice, the ruling aristocrats can afford to be reckless cos they will always have citizens in these four factions who'll fight their own fellows to ensure the tyranny continues.

And it's in this mess Sowore finds himself. He means we'll evidently but he's fighting for a cause only him can't achieve alone and needs the support of the majority. Unfortunately there is no sane and favorable majority. They all fiddle while Rome burns.

Ballon d'or is for anybody since 95!

George Weah in 95
Real Ronaldo, 97
Rivaldo, 99
Ronaldinho, 2005 (despite the fact that Gerard won the UCL)
Kaka, 2007
And, Messi...

These are non-Europeans that have won it...

Anybody can win it.. Provided you don't play in Farmer's league!!!

Brazilian League and Copa Libertadores are Farmer's League affairs..

eni4real:
Talent? yes!!!
. Even African talents are doing well in Europe!!!

Does that mean African League is good??

African League, South America league, Copa Libertadores, CAF Champion's League are Farmer's League affairs!!!

No Ballon d'or in Farmer's League!!!
Abdultreka, but Americans win it mostly


Let me digress a little, who is the Egyptian GOAT?? Best Egypt player ever??

eni4real:
How many Flamengo players made the top 30??
How many River Plate players made the top 30 of Ballon d'or last season??

Copa Libertadores is nothing compared to the UCL!!!

Maradona and Real Ronaldo won 0 UCL trophy..

They also got carried when it matter most in the world cup (especially that Maradona in 1986 final)!!!

I am trying, not to analyze Pele too much.. He belong to a pre competitive era but the Brazil team are the most complete and very talented group..

Those who watch Pele played will never agree that anybody is better than him.. Based on his sheer ability...

If he had come to Europe, may be it would have been easy to compare him with Messi!!!

To me, Messi is the GOAT, only Pele is close according to Legend!!!

eni4real:
Neymar also won the Copa Libertadores?? Why didn't he win the Ballon d'or because of that??
How come Gabigol did not make top 30 of Ballon d'or because he played an Origi role in Copa Libe final for Flamengo??

Summary: No UCL for Pele, Maradona and Real Ronaldo!!!
They also got carried by their teammates when it matter most(especially that Maradona in 86 final)!!!

World cup which Giroud won..

So, Giroud is greater than Drogba??

eni4real:
How many UCL did R9 and Maradona won??
How many UCL did Pele won??

Cruyff did not win any international trophy but he still the European GOAT even ahead of Franz Beckenbauer and Gerd Muller who won the World cup

Drogba did not win any international trophy and he still the Ivorian GOAT ahead of Yaya Toure!!

Pele had best teammates.. that could win the '62 World cup without him... Can you imagine that?? He was injured after 1 match but Garrincha still took Brazil team to win the World cup..

Pele never won the World cup by himself...
. He never won the World cup golden more than once (even Jarzinho deserves the one he won)!!!

R9 has best teammate in 21st century, so no big deal!! Even if he switched off like against England , Rivaldo and Ronaldinho will step up..

Cristiano was a handicap when Portugal faced a more talented France, but the team won courtesy Eder goal.. .

Kanu did not win any international trophy, he was a 'miss penalty' against Cameroon but Sunday Mba won in his time..
Can we say Sunday Mba is better than Kanu
. Or Victor Moses is better than Kanu??

Messi, like Cruyff, is a World Cup golden ball winner.. The is the highest individual award at national team level..

The fact that team trophy elude them is not their fault.. Just that the Germans(in both cases) deserves it more in the final...

Messi 6 Ballon d'or, 6 FIFA best award, 6 Golden shoe, 4 World best Playmaker, speak for itself!!!!

Individually he is the best ever, only Pele come close!!!

Lol you didn't give me the stat.

eni4real:
Ronaldo was the best forward!!!

Modric was the best midfielder, you can't compare!!!

spirul77:
just imagine Messi's wife,sister and mum saying Messi deserves an award Ronaldo won, Ronaldo has won many awards and none of Messi's family or even Messi himself ever complained, all this talks are just simply uncalled for jare. even Messi and his family has forgotten he even won an award.

Modric in 2018:

World best Playmaker award winner
World cup golden ball winner
UEFA best midfielder
UEFA best player award winner
FIFA best player award winner
Ballon d'or winner
Goal 50 winner..

5 Different bodies agreed that Modric was the best..

I guess they are all Barcelona fans too!!!

IgweBUIKE1:
same goals other players like aguero score effortlessly... Ronaldo is just overhype

anonymous1759:
See the stats

1European Golden boot 2 most assist 3play marker award 4 pichichi 5 Laliga 6 Spanish super cup 7 copa Del rey 8 copa de classico 9 most free kicks 10 most man of the match award. Give me CR7 and Modric stats on person achievement. Yet Messi came 5th and didn't say a Word you guys should go and sleep.

eni4real:
World cup is a team trophy.. .
Even Griezmann won the World cup and he is not as good as Messi!!!

He no sabi but he won the World cup golden ball just like Cruyff who didn't win any international trophy too..

I guess Cruyff no sabi, only Nani and Eder sabi since na dem be MVPs of finals! !!

eni4real:
Pele spent 19 seasons in Santos
Messi has only spent 15 seasons in Barcelona..

His ways are not Ronaldo's ways and vice versa..

He is targeting Pele now.. Forget the World cup trophies (Pele will not win them without Gilmar, Didi, Nilton and Djalmar Santos, Garrincha, Gerson, Rivelinho, Jarzinho, Carlos Alberto, Tostao, etc who are all time best players.. Lucky right?)

Messi is just 30 goals to match Pele's Santos record

7goals to match the national team goals...

Messi is focusing on the big picture..

Ronaldo style is common, leave one club after enjoying assists from 'many assisters', they start becoming selfish or start growing wings then, you feel disrespected and choose another great club and the cycles continue...
From one group of assisters to another group of assisters.. Why not? He will score many goals of course.. Especially in the UCL!!
Just that Juventus has many stubborn head who don't want to serve Ronaldo, as soon as they agreed to be his assisters, more goals will happen. ..
It is not that difficult to score in SerieA tho, Immobile of Lazio has 17 goals already, most in Europe top 5 League!!

What Ronaldo need are assisters and he keep getting them from one big clubs to another till they expire and he move to the next club...

That should not be a good measure of greatness!!

If these Juventus guy start pitying Ronaldo because of the Ballon d'or issue, and decide to become his assisters instead of scoring goals themselves, you will see how things are going to turn around...
Unfortunately, Ronaldo will beat his chest and claim he did it himself..
I won 5 UCL, I won Euro etc... I think Ronaldo's teammates just want to be themselves and does not want Ronaldo to take credits for their hardwork!!

Messi is similar to Pele in career..

Ronaldo career moves is similar to any player that graduate from a less privileged academy like Sporting Lisbon.. They have to keep moving from one big team to another just like Figo and Nani did!!! Serial winners?? Yes..

But that does not measure greatness!!!!

Don't ask me how many Ballon d'or Nani won, we know that Ronaldo is a historic player but his participation in different big clubs will never make him better than players (Pele, Messi) who rule the world from their kingdoms!!!

There is nothing like comfort zone especially when you have most Ballon d'or in history!!!!

eni4real:
Modric won the UCL in 2018 remember.. Bale fired then to the trophy....
Modric took it to another level when he win the World cup golden ball...
The only Real Madrid player to win that in this century since Zidane!!!

IgweBUIKE1:
pls face front joor...you know nothing about soccer.. some of you think that scoring fifty goals and winning trophy transcend to been the best... FYI Ronaldo is the world best that have won the award base on the sentiment of winning the champions league and scoring goal's with zero work rate

anonymous1759:
Bitter people. blatter was accused of liking Messi, now Infatino is Biased. Blatter hated Ronaldo but he has 5 Balon d'or. You people should go and sleep. On individual performance last year Messi was better than CR7 and Modric.
The thing that limited Messi was UCL and world cup. Check their stats before you start boiling.

eni4real:
World Cup golden ball is the reason why Modric was better than Ronaldo in 2018!!!
