If GSP had've been peaking during Gretsky's time, I think they would've been equal in different places....
I'm pretty sure Tyson was just as big as Gretzky was in that era no?? |

I can almost guarantee that if GSP was where he is now when you were in Russia, you'd know of him too..
UFC is huge over there isn't it?? |

Ali is bigger than both. But what does that have to do with anything? Neither Ali or Tyson are Canadian. |

Ali's time was way before theirs and I was comparing a fighters popularity to a hockey players...
But yes this is supposed to be a Canadian comparison so I think it goes back to the article writers original point that it's like comparing apples to oranges...
Side question...
Does GSP beat Koschek this weekend???
I think the only way he loses is if he gets caught with a lucky button hit... |

There is no way GSP loses. |

I hate that expression because you can totally compare apples and oranges. A more valid expression would be "it's like comparing apples and carbon nanotubes." |

None of the black guys we've discussed were THAT black... |

Exactly, there is always a small chance Kos hits him just right but chances are he wont get a chance. GSPs wrestling is light year a head, if he gets into any trouble look for him to take it to the ground.
Now with the GSP vs. Gretzky comments...its hard to judge. MMA is a much more of a global sport than hockey. Both were/are dominating in their respective sports.
You would have to factor in the era they lived in. Wayne didn't have the power of the internet/twitter/youtube when he was putting up record setting numbers.
I think a better comparison would be Crosby vs GSP |
