I think it's hard to compare a defender with these attacking greats - destroying is always much easier than creating (there is a reason why they play in defence!) - depends on what criteria you put on being the best - leadership, loyalty, honesty and integrity or pure raw talent.
Pure raw talent is why I put Maradona at the top of the list - I don't think his lack of other attributes should diminish that - their are other greater sportsman, but not footballing genius. I think also you have to look at the pitches he had to paly on and the brutal tackling he was subject too - in Italy, at the time the greatest league of all with the best / worst kind of defending on show. It's hard to imagine Messi and Ronaldo surviving in that era, but Maradona would have still been no.1 in this era. We were lucky to have seen him.

Ronaldo could, he has the determination and drive very few players have. Messi definitely not. That’s why Maradona will always be rated above him. In the Ronaldo V Messi debate Sir Alex Ferguson said "Ronaldo could play for Millwall, Queen's Park Rangers, Doncaster and score a hat-trick in the game. I'm not sure Messi could do that.

Yes - thats true, , Ronaldo did some phenomenal work on his physique - I guess it's similar reason Maradona comes above Pele, not playing in more leagues, leaving that question mark.

Think you need to watch some footage of old games. It’s easy to play in the last 30 years when defenders aren’t allowed to tackle. Have a look at the brutality these older guys had to suffer . In the modern game greats would still be great as they would adapt. Pele said Best was the greatest , coming from one of the greatest himself that’s enough for me.

But only played club football in Brazil for Santos. Hardly the standard of Spain, Italy etc at the time. A 600 game career in the spotlight in Europe is different to being rolled out every 4 years for 8 games. 4 world cups, if you won or reached the final in all of them is 32 or so matches.
