probably yes

 

[mazzi]

Nah ppl will only get better

 

[yeeyeeslayer]

how does an indian born and raised in the slums of Mumbai know about all these western athletes

 

[goldpill]

It's probable the next generation will be the greatest ever. Due to highest global population in history and probably ever. And better facilities

 

[distance decay]

Micheal schuhmacher was ages ago its Lewis Hamilton in this era

 

[datboijj]

Nah ppl will only get better

what about flo jo
no woman has beat her records in the past 30 years

 

[Deleted member 51465]

Serena Williams

 

[khvirgin]

what about flo jo
no woman has beat her records in the past 30 years

No one will
The only unbreakable records are the women ones, because they were used as guinea pigs for every drug available

 

[forevermirin]

forgot xabi alonso but yes i agree. zoomers suck at sport with the exception of maybe ben doak.

 

[datboijj]

No one will

makes no sense because Olympic athletes still definitely use drugs
and all the new sprinters are like 3 times as muscular as she was

 

[Deleted member 57464]

notice how top athletes are also chads?

 

[khvirgin]

They dont use the same drugs they used before and controls are stricter, you get some athletes banned once in a while, before it would never happen

All the unbreakable records are by women and all are in 80s, thats not normal

well i don't know how insane drugs can get so you may be right

@sportsmogger

 

[sportsmogger]

Fuck no, future athletes will be literal gods amongst men

 

[khvirgin]

well i don't know how insane drugs can get so you may be right

I think it's funny how not even juiced up athletes like Marion Jones, who got stripped of all her medals, even came close to Flo Jo

 

[Deleted member 14693]

nah once genetical engineering comes along it will be a wrap

 

[Jason Voorhees]

Fuck no, future athletes will be literal gods amongst men

Why do you believe that? There has been no athelete in history who came close to these guys.

Maybe. Forgot to mention Federer/Nadal/Djokovic, Alonso/Hamilton and few others.

But Michael Jordan is the best sports athlete by far.

Because the new era always surpasses, before Brady it was Montana, now it's Mahomes, Before Lebron it was Jordan, etc

 

[Jason Voorhees]

Because the new era always surpasses, before Brady it was Montana, now it's Mahomes, Before Lebron it was Jordan, etc

There will always be some GOATS tho. Like Wayne Gretzky, Bo Jackson, Jim Brown etc. They have never been surpassed by anyone

 

[khvirgin]

mahomes isn't close to brady

anyway teams sports are hard to measure because some athletes have better teams built around, if someone breaks Bolt's records you know he's better because he ran faster and there's no argument there

 

[sportsmogger]

Because they were genetic freaks, but put someone like Nick Chubb in Jim Browns era and he'd dominate

Brady succeeded due to his situation and a little luck, he has literally no talent lol

 

[khvirgin]

talent isn't just athleticism

anyway you just proved my point with the "luck" comment, arguments about who is better in a team based game will always end up to this

"brady was lucky"
"lebron was chasing rings by changing teams"
"kobe was carried by shaq"
"jordan won nothing without pippen"
"messi only perfomed in the barca system"

No cause Brady was actually just lucky, Lebron was actually athletic and smart, Brady was carried by Belichick's wits, Kobe wasn't carried by Shaq because he won rings without Shaq JFL, Jordan obviously is the GOAT and IDC for soccer tbh

 

[Deleted member 64493]

Steroids will get better and thus push boundaries even further. As far as gym training thats probably pretty close to peak so drugs and skills can still improve over time

 

[ElTruecel]

Honestly yea that era was underrated

 

[ElTruecel]

Bump

 

[ElTruecel]

how does an indian born and raised in the slums of Mumbai know about all these western athletes

Why the fuck would an Indian not know Messi and Ronaldo wtf lol?

 

[Madridista]

There is always yet another talent in football.

 

[yeeyeeslayer]

Why the fuck would an Indian not know Messi and Ronaldo wtf lol?

Serena Williams, Tom brady Micheal schumacher,Dan Carter

[iblamechico]

[shizuku11111]

people probably thought the same in 90s and kids will think the same in 2040s for example

 

[yeeyeeslayer]

yup

the new generations surpass the previous ones

that's how it's always been

 

[M-1014]

yup

that's how it's always been

Yeah ain't no one beating Usains 9:58 or Messis 8 ballon dors (he had 4 at Mbappes age btw)

 

[yeeyeeslayer]

yup

the new generations surpass the previous ones

that's how it's always been

people probably thought the same in 90s and kids will think the same in 2040s for example

for example

if prime pele played in this generation he would probably get smashe by no name players in this new gen

 

[gonions]

Not in football.. none can get better than those 2 even the promising future “goats” mbappe and haaland can’t do what they did.

 

[shizuku11111]

for example

if prime pele played in this generation he would probably get smashe by no name players in this new gen

tbh i can agree to some extent, but i think its just the fact that back then they didnt have training programs and bs like that today, its all talent at the end of the day

 

[ElTruecel]

yup

what about babe Ruth he legit ended his career ended in the 30s older than people’s great grandparents

 

[Clark69]

Wayne Gretzky

Gretzky was one out of a trillion. I believe it'll take centuries before someone matches him, let alone surpass him
