So here are the arguments in favour of Ronaldo:
1) Using facts and cumulative stats and awards (mostly by a bunch of french journalists') is partial
2) You need to use things perceived when evaluating, not facts. In particular, things 'which can't be measured (ex. charisma)'
3) You should account for 'winning goals' and 'points earned per goal or assist' . Amidst that rant, there was a decent idea, but I guarantee you that Ronaldo will look even worse than Messi like this, since he is very streaky (this would devalue a lot of second and third goals he's had: example, you'd count 1 valuable goal instead of 3 for the match against Atletico).
4) Purely talent-wise we have seen higher peaks in the last 20ish years.. Yikes. Give us the names, mate. Lapadula? Balotelli? Oh yes, Ronaldo (Luiz Nazario da Lima), Ronaldinho, Baggio or Zidane? Sorry, I've seen them all playing too and I'm sorry but no, there are no players except Maradona that you should take over these 2 in the last 40 years, including Cruyff, Beckenbauer and Platini.

And yes, as you can see from the time of this post that I'm awake: I'm watching LeBron carrying yet more guys to the ECF. Westbrook's supporters would say he's carrying another lottery team to the Finals. You wouldn't know it, but most people think I'm also a LeBron hater, when in reality I'm more simply a LeBron fanboys' hater. A bit like it goes for Ronaldo and his weird fans...

But who would win in a game of Badminton, Lebron or Messi?

Benny the bull, for sure!

Are you getting payed to spread hate against Ronaldo?
I did some fast reading and you got about half of the words on this thread eheh. Of course your free to express your opinion as you want, just surprised with so much writing just to say Ronaldo is bad.
And yes I'm Portuguese, and I obviously prefer Ronaldo ahah. Well, and you can say thats just because I'm portuguese (maybe it is), but I really prefer his playstyle.
He is a more balanced player and a hard worker - he is a winner like Lebron, he works to win.

p.s- we can say messi is like isiah thomas ahahah

If Ronaldo is LeBron then Messi is Kareem. Besides there is a fundamental difference between LeBron and Ronaldo: LeBron has won more league titles as main banana than Ronaldo will ever get and in a more competitive league. Also LeBron's helped by the refs, but not to the point where his team progresses in knockout rounds only thanks to illegally scored points and blatantly biased refereeing...

Don't throw mud on LeBron's legacy like that.

Besides, as I said, when Ronaldo wins as much as Messi, it will be fair to entertain the discussion on whether they can be considered equal. Not before.

Good luck with the hating hater I just came by to make 1 post (2 now eheh)

Good luck with the hating hater :(

I see, you can't argue objectively that Ronaldo is better than Messi after I refuted the purported arguments pro-Ronaldo one by one and therefore you call me a hater.

Most of you Ronaldo fanboys are real madrid fans/Portuguese and Messi haters. There is no rational way to claim Ronaldo has achieved more than Messi on a football pitch so you need to resort to:
- whine; or
- scream more loudly as if that makes your case any more valid; or
- claim Messi achieved personal accolades thanks to Xavi and Iniesta or God's intervention and Ronaldo did all by himself;
- call anyone who disagrees a hater

Man, you lot are a funny bunch.
