Federer was stopped by father time, Djokovic is not getting stopped

I agree Federer messed up, too many stupid losses.

Djokovic has all the important records now, fair and square.

What i highly disagree with, is that Djokovic (and Fedal) turned potential ATGs into mugs. Nishikori/Raonic/Dimitrov to Tsitsipas/Zverev/Meddy arent ATG-potential, plain and simple. They arent even Stan/Murray-potential.
Djokovic messed up too but was gifted 2 bad generations to make up for it
 
How tough it was is slighly exaggerated when he lost slams to Murray, Stan and Nishikori

Doesn't it register in your thick head that Djokovic had Federer+Nadal to deal with ?

During that period Murray and Stan benefitted from Djoker's undivided attention on Fedal. It is not like Murray and Stan were anything vs Fedal, they were solely focussed on Djokovic and successful vs him while he was focussed on multiples of great players. A few defeats here and there might come in the period. Federer+Nadal adjusted to Djokovic in 2012 and from that period next 12 months Murray got 2 big slam wins. This is how it happens when 2 ATGs and 1-2 fellow peers who are great too clash with you.

In Federer's peak the only great players were Roddick and Safin and even these fellows were not ATGs, thats why Federer had his undivided attention on them.
