Joker = GOAT right now.

no doubt about it.

however, Joker and Rafa still Unretired, so the debate is not 100% closed yet.

only chance RAFA can reopen the debate IMO is if:

- he wins two more Non-French Slams to tie Joker at 24 (must be Non-French slams IMO)

- takes the lead on H2H record which is currently 30-29 slight edge Joker

i conceded 9 days ago.

i ended the thread myself.

as usual, i am ahead of the jake peavy "know nothing" curve.

as if a Rafa or Fed type personality would actually say "No i am the GOAT not Joker"

LOLOL

Michael Jordan, Bill Russell, LeBron James, etc, do not decide GOAT debates.

the media and the fans do.

The only thing that you are ahead of me in is woke activism and visions of grandeur.
