Randall's Personal Sports World Cup GOAT-Off

[Randall]

Nice one Randy. Coe over Ali seems a surprise.

Coe was a freak performance wise

[Rogg]

Coe was in The Brittas Empire. Muhammad Ali wasn't even in Red Dwarf.

[Captain Hobo]

This means Billie wins I take it? What is Bobby Rings?

No dempsey wins
He ain't no Bobby riggs refers to the battle of the sexes Billy Jean won against him in the 70s.

Ah I see. Cool. Did they ever do a more modern version of battle of the sexes?

Did you see the movie with Emma Stone as Billie Jean?

There have been many other such events, none as serious though. My personal favourite is Karsten Braasch beating both of the Williams in the same afternoon.

I never realised any of this. I've never seen the film, no. I like Steve Carell.

Did the Williamses take that unfortunate bashing in good humour? It's pretty funny.

Apparently after that match, they claimed they could beat any man ranked outside the top 350, but strangely neither of them ever put that to the test.

The thing about The Battle of the Sexes is that Bobby Riggs was 55 at the time. Serena might have beaten a 55 year old man as well, but not a current pro player no matter how low their ranking.

[The Thorn]

Top woman would not beat anyone in top 1000 men

[Captain Hobo]

Top woman would not beat anyone in top 1000 men

Correct.
