Federer vs Nadal Who Is Ahead As Of Now?

You could do that for any H2H though, if Rafa didn't play Novak 7 times in 2015/16, he'd be leading their H2H 29-23 lol

And that argument is as valid as any considering Novak himself didn't reciprocate either.

Again, Nadal leads the rivalry with Fed, but 24-16 doesn't tell the whole story.

The moment people realize there no actual GOAT, it all suddenly becomes very clear and you can just appreciate the players you like.

Well said. Your words carry weight as a Djokovic fan.

A lot of those votes occurred when Fed was still the goat/slam leader and some of those other votes are from fans who are still living in the past. I just can't put someone with 2 less slams, only a single career slam, and a poor H2H record over someone with 2 more slams, double career slam, and owned their H2H record

Well it's a good thing you do not determine for everyone the mythical GOAT rankings. What a farce that would be.

Its not about winning for real.

Its about how you tell the story in the ring, the ring psychology, the ability to protect yourself and the wrestler who is entrusting you with his/her body, to bring heat to the match, to increase the crowd engagement, to do promos that sell tickets, merchandise, and PPV buys, to create unique move sets, to be a ring general and carry your opponent through the match, to do it day after day, week after week, year after year.....

If you think just because it is scripted that there isn't a GOAT, you don't really understand what it is all about. All due respect.

In terms of promos, bringing heat to the match, merchandise, crowd engagement etc it would likely be Hogan, even though that idiot messed up the best written feud in history in Starcade 97 and Superbrawl 98. As for the rest "ability to protect yourself and the other wrestler" aka actual wrestling abilities I would have Bret ahead of Shawn.
