hahahahahahaha.
If any "sport" totally lacks a Tiger Woods, it is Poker. Ivey is certainly good, and he may be the best poker in the world right now but he's a hell of a long way from being best ever. The money argument is BS because the $$ figures in poker touneys has skyrocketed in the last 10 years, so you're totally discounting the 40+ years of poker before that.
Until Ivey wins the WSOP in consecutive years and the $50k HORSE WSOP title in like 4 consecutive years it isn't him.
Most people don't even consider the main even to be the showcase of the best of the best because the format sucks.
