I love TAZZ's theory. What he is saying is this: The players were good in Pele's day; in Maradona's day they were a bit better; in Ronaldo's day they are even better still. TAZZ is NOT saying that Pele was good, Maradona was better and Ronaldo is the best. What he is saying is that OVERALL the players have gotten better and better, which is true. Because of improvements in food, medicine, training, drugs, health care, equipment, grass, even transportation, the players today are bigger, faster, strong, fitter, healthier, etc.
I think what TAZZ is saying is this: Pele, Maradona and Ronaldo are special talents who are better than the other players of their generations, and they raised their games to be better than the others. But Pele did not have to raise his game as much as Maradona, and Maradona did not have to raise his game as much as Ronaldo. Do you guys understand that? This DOES NOT mean Maradona is better than Pele, or that Ronaldo is better than Maradona, or whatever. (We all know that's an endless argument.)
What TAZZ is saying is that all three players were the best of their generations and played above the level of everyone else, but Ronaldo has to play at a higher level than Pele or Maradona did because the level of competition is so much better. If that's what TAZZ is saying, I agree with him.
This IS NOT a judgment on who is better, Pele, Maradona or Ronaldo. Obviously, Pele is the best ever. And, obviously, and I think TAZZ would agree, Pele and Maradona could have raised their games to even higher levels if they had to. They both wanted to be the best.
(Tonyp3 is RIGHT: Ronaldo is the perfect footballer, the best football body EVER! Big, strong, muscular, lean, lightning fast, superskillful. Amazing.)
