I would say Ronaldo or Messi are better than all the greats before them.
Maradona was Miles ahead of Pelé, but I’d say that on that response you must be too young to have seen either of them.

Best was as good, but because he played for NI, he never got the chance on the world stage. He certainly made a difference at the European Cup. He didn't fall over when challenged, skipping past players, and certainly didn't have to hand ball a goal.

In England that hand ball is will always cloud the judgement of Maradona, in the rest of the world he was clearly the most skilfull player ever to play football. Pele was incredible, Best was best, but Maradona had balance, touch, passing, scoring, dribbling that I’ve never seen anyone else better. What tarnished his career was cheating and drugs. Not to mention mingling with the Mafia. But with a football at his feet, he did thing no one else ever didn. The footage of him proves that. Plus date I say the most amazing goal ever scored.. yes against England. Just after the hand of god. Those two goals just about sum him up..... cheat... but the most skilfull player.
Never in a million years. Pele maintained a higher level over a longer period of time.

In your opinion. Not in mine.
Its not hard to be miles ahead of Pele when you are whacked off your nuts on drugs.........allegedly.
What has that got to do with who was the better player. I know I’d rather have Maradona in my side than Pele.
You’ve gotta be pretty skilfull if you can do what Maradona can after having a shit load of gear! What a player!
Give me a bucket of coke and i bet i could replicate the hand of god goal,......no skill in that

Lots, Maradona had one decent World Cup, failed in 82, getting sent off in disgrace, brilliant in 86, overweight in 90, drug cheat in 94, but still not as good as Pele in 58 or 70.
If you want to see dribbling and balance, watch the 58 World Cup.
All opinions.
