I'm sorry SF, but very few if any at all, tennis players, stack up to the talent in the 70's and early 80's.
Connors, McEnroe, Borg, Nastase, Ashe, Lendl. Anyone of those in their prime taking on todays players, including Federer would crush them. The field and talent pool were far deeper back then, so it made the accomplishments of winning even more spectacular. Today, the talent isn't there.
It's like any sport, the deeper the talent pool, the easier you can ask.... hmmm is he the best ever? Today in tennis...... that question cannot be asked in any way shape or form in todays tennis world, because the talent is non existent.
Does Federer see a Lendl in the quarters, then a Mcenroe in the semis and face a Borg in the finals? NOPE. Not even close.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
