Yeah pretty hilarious to see insecure ****s continue to make polls about if Federer is the best this or the best that, knowing this is **** Warehouse and every poll with Federer in it he is certain to win with atleast 97% votes, and convince themselves it proves something, lol!
Anyway I voted Rosewall since he is the most underrated all time great IMO, although obviously it is really probably Laver or Gonzales.

I won't vote. The day I have a time machine and a private island with tennis courts of all different surfaces, then yes.

The point of a poll is to know what the consensus is, Sherlock
Whatever, I guess it will be deleted.

Rosewall deserves to be mentioned up there. I think hes got a slam equivalent of 23-24 slams if we count the pro slams and RIDICULOUS longevity
1. Laver or Pancho
Rosewall just right below??
.. And Fed and Sampras rounding it out in the 4th or 5th spot?

Gonzales doesn't even have the numbers to counter Federer.
Last time I checked he won a total of 17 - 2 of which he won as an amateur. He never won the French Open - the only major played on clay at the time and only made 2 finals of those.
Not to mention that the "professional tours" in the 50's weren't actual "tours". It was a 2-men battle throughout a year. It's like you put Federer and Djokovic together and make them play 100 matches in a year and who wins most ends the year ranked 1st. So a guy who was a part of it is actually greater than Federer who has to work his a** off in 7 5-set matches, all physically demanding. I mean WAT.

This is why everybody votes for Federer. Just to see you and NA go crazy.

Seems pretty straight forward to me... everyone voting can choose who they think. Perhaps it's a foregone conclusion because it is just that decisive in reality. Besides, I'll bet if you polled all living tennis legends, Federer would win that poll just as decisively. Now what might that tell you?

With all due respect to Lendl, Connors, Agassi...they are not in the GOAT discussion at all, and shouldn't be compared to the other players who are a tier ahead in this poll

Just because ****s worship and vote for Federer, doesn't mean it's not true
I'm positive having a public polls all over the internet Fed would still win. Because most fans believe he's the goat, not just on this forum.

Don't worry. NSK army will be here soon to fix it
Hehehehehehehehehehe. I've been waiting for him ever since I started this poll. Soon as he comes online, you'll have Nadal's poll numbers go up from 3 to 10 in a minute!
That would be really cool!!!!!

My dad swears by him...
A 1999 Sports Illustrated article about the magazine's 20 "favorite athletes" of the 20th century said about Gonzales (their number 15 pick): "If earth was on the line in a tennis match, the man you want serving to save humankind would be Ricardo Alonso Gonzalez."
The American tennis commentator Bud Collins echoed this in an August 2006 article for MSNBC.com: "If I ha'd to choose someone to play for my life, it would be Pancho Gonzales".

I voted for Federer. It was obvious that he was going to win given the nature of this forum. We might get some more balanced voting if this thread were in the Former Pro Player section. Most of the voting wouldn't be any less biased, but Fed wouldn't be winning by such a ridiculous amount.
To be honest the poll's results don't surprise me. It's fairly clear how this forum stands on Federer.
Incidentally, the topic of this thread if fleshed out fully would render obsolete most of the threads in General Pro Player discussion and a good chunk of the ones in Match Results and the Former Pro Player section. Wouldn't it be fun to have only one Goat debate thread?

I posted this in another thread but I think it's even more aposite for this one.
I would imagine the average person on this site is far more knowledgable about their tennis than the average member of the public. A public poll would probably have a much higher return for Federer 80% - 90%. What conclusions would you draw from that?
The answer is obviously going to be a trollish - 'ninety something per cent of everyone are morons but I'm one of the few right thinking minority. I'm an Edsel, Delorian, Betamax and a Cherry Coke guy and I know a winner when I see one.' Good luck with that.

I think it is because Nadal obsessers (all 5 of them?) do not really want to vote for Laver, even though they do want to, to take it away from Federer. So given they have only one vote, they vote for Nadal, or don't vote at all.

I guess being nr. 1, 5-7 years of his peak, winning the nr. 1 record clinches it for most people.

Despite the massive Nadal trolls, this place never feels like an equal environment. Federer fans always outnumber Nadal fans and this makes for sh1tty threads. This place is a circlejerk for Federer fans until 3-4 Nadal fans post pro-Nadal/anti-Federer comments. This triggers discussion and Nadal fans have a lot more comments to reply to.
