    Since, Tennis fans are comparing 2006 Federer vs 2015 Djokovic in each and every thread......I thought about posting one similar question....

    Who do you think would win?????????

    My vote goes to Taufik......

    I don't know if he reached his peak yet, but he definitely plays his best against LCW. :D

    This is Chen Long's absolute peak...He will be 27 next January and from 28 onwards,gradual decline in his game would be obvious........

    Perhaps maybe not a higher level, in terms of intensity. But possibly more consistent, more calm under pressure, better reading of the game as he gets more experienced.

    Greater is a matter of opinion, but if you're asking better, then yes.

    I'm not making any new friends by saying that - a lot of people might actually get angry - but I think Taufik and Gade are way overrated. They were great players no doubt but not legends, IMO. CL is indeed a better player, if you ask me. Peter Gade's trickshots and longevity and Taufik's backhand skills play are huge part in their status I think...

    When, or if I should say, Chen Long wins an Olympic gold, then I would say that he is clearly greater than the two. But now, I think CL still has a lot more still to achieve and his greatness can be measure later on...

    I feel exactly the same.
    I think PG being European also boosted his status.

    Lin Dan -> 546- 76......Win Percentage = 87.78

    Lee Chong Wei -> 608- 117.....Win Percentage = 83.86
