Suarez is easily clear. Ibra, Lewa and Benz are close.
Probably go Suarez>Ibra>Lewa>Benz

They all had different peak times. Ibra was at his best at a much earlier time than the rest.
I like Suarez's style of play the most of the 4. Benzema is by far my favorite, as a Real Madrid supporter.
Overall between Ibra and Benz, going with Benz for a big match moment.

Sure, but he was a ****ing artist at putting the ball in the back of the net.

Suarez for me.
Extremely low quality human being, but an almost equally high quality player.
I mean, if Stevie G could stand up properly, he'd have won David Brent a Premiership.
I think the non-Scouse sympathizers amongst us can probably agree that this was for the best in the long run, but man...

Lewa is at least better than some one season wonder, right? Deserved winning the Ballon D'or more than once.

Ok makes sense.

I'm not sure about more than once, but he probably should have got it in 2021.

I don't think Zlatan ever peaked at the same level as the other three, who should have all had Balon D'ors.
Suarez in 13/14 was an alien, I've never seen a more determined player carrying a side and bullying every defender he played against. That said, I think Lewa had more longevity at the top and his peak wasn't that far behind Suarez's. Benzema is right there with them for what he did post-Ronaldo/Bale.
All 3 were complete forwards. I put them very similar in terms of technical ability too.
Zlatan was audacious and had the highlight reel goals and jaw-dropping moments but I don't think he should be in this conversation. Some people watch football for those type of players though so I totally get anyone who puts him up there.
Tough between the other three but I'd go:
1. Lewa
2. Suarez
3. Benzema
4. Zlatan

At their best, the racist biter was better than the others by a not insignificant margin imo

The thing for Zlatan is he does have more longevity, from an earlier era of the game. He was considered a top striker talent in the world and scored arguably his best goal in the early 2000s in Ajax, before the others were even relevant.
One obvious missing name is Aguero. I think he was arguably more skilled and gifted than any of the names above, but asides from some highlights probably didn't deliver quite as much as above.
Eto'o was the best if we're looking for contemporaries of Zlatan, as a fast goal poaching striker. Found him to be absolutely scary whenever he was playing a team I supported.

I think that's why I have Zlatan below the other three, while he may have been one of the top players he never had a period where he was clearly the best player in the world.
