Yeah, the fact that he wasn't even the best athlete in his peak in his country with less than 3 million population....... That is some really **** luck.

Wally Hammond vs Allan Border
- Thread starter PlayerComparisons
- Start date
Patience and Accuracy+Gut
State Vice-Captain
Peak Fabiano was very very close to dethroning Magnus. Magnus couldn’t beat him at classical.
I kinda of think of Capablanca from Hammond’s own time who is pretty much the equivalent of Hammond. In terms of talent mainly, especially the allround talent that Walter had I think equals Capa. Both Unbelievably gifted. Capa is the general consensus #4 in most of rankings though I would put him one step lower.
There was no Bradman in Capablanca’s time tho. Good for him, Walter may well have been recognized as a Top 5 GOAT cricketer if Bradman never existed.

Who are the top 20 greatest baseball players in your opinion? (Assuming you already have made one)

In India WWE is more famous than NBA, NFL and MLB.
We can name more wrestlers than basketball, baseball and whatever you call the players who play NFL.

I actually always hated WWE with an outright passion. Have heard a few names back in the day, but would be hard pressed to name anyone more than Rock, John Cena (for movies), Undertaker and that old dude who was in a rap battle with Kim Jong Un's dad. So 3½. Not much interest in MLB (watched only a few YT clips), but can name a few players as I researched for my Greatest sportsperson list. So, I hate to state it like this, but I can almost spew out a 20 Greatest baseballers or some similar ****. NBA recently gained a mild curiosity in, even played a draft here; but far from knowledgeable. NFL is the sport I know **** about, haven't even seen any clips and really can't be bothered for. Still know the name of that Tom dude.

Pretty similar overall, except Morphy; who is really hard to rate really. Hope Gukesh (and who knows maybe Arjun and Pragg!!) ends up here in a few years.
