Greatest Swedish sportsman ever

[Master]

Bjorn Borg was GREAT at tennis. He won Wimbledon what, 5 years in a row? THat's crazy, and even his losing to McEnroe for the 6th was epic. I don't really follow football(I call it football because the Americans are lame for not choosing a different name and the NFL sucks anyways), so could just stay out of this I suppose, but has Zlatan won a world cup or multiple European chapmionships, anything like that? I don't doubt he's a better pure athlete than Borg was or whatever and I know team sports are much different(which is why I don't watch them), but he's being a baby to cry about this if he doesn't have the resume.

Zlatan is a good player but not great although in this match he scored the most amazing goal I have ever seen. He is a black belt martial arts expert and you can see why.

@Stickgrappler will appreciate it.

I'd have given it to Tomas Brolin

Now i’m taking my time to show you what my country can provide, it only takes a few minutes tll you realise that Sweden is quite impressive, We all know boxing, so let me start where it began, right here with this guy. Harry Persson a man who was born 1898 and was the first Swedish who won the first organised amateur boxing in Sweden 1922, He lost a few fights internationally but he surprised the world when he fought Phil Scott from England 1923, Phil scott had the entire fight on points, but on the 11 round Persson throw a punch who knocked Phill out of his shoes and got down. That’s some motivation right there guys, never give up. even if u low on points!

Then we have Ingemar Johansson who’s one of our famous boxers in Sweden, Paoblo Roberto is well known too but he’s a dick so i wont put him no my list.
Ander eklund was quite big in Swedish boxing too, he fought and won the European championship twice around 1982 if I’m not wrong, It’s quite a shame that this is this guy who raped a 10 year old girl in Sweden which have the same name as Ander eklund and when you have a conversation with friends in a pub and talk about the boxing ander eklund a lot of people looking your way and think you talking sweet talk about the rapist.
Then we have a upcoming fighter for the future which i hope can do really good.
Erik skoglund born 1991 had 20 professional fights, 20 wins 11 knockouts, 0 losses.
I really holding my thump on this one, i recon this guy is a head of Zlatan!

Puuh that last night got me fucked til now can’t be bother writing more at this moment, but i do a bit of the ice hockey and some other athletes when i feel like it, but thought the boxing would be better for all of you to start with

its hard to look past Borg when discussing Swedens greatest sportsman. The guy was phenomenal and still holds recors in the sport.

Zlatan is just another namby party overrated and overpaid footballer.

I'm surprised it took so long for Ingo to be mentioned, this is a boxing forum after all.

I would definitely rate Ingemar higher than Ibrahimovic.

I don't know nearly enough about ice hockey and other Nordic sports to have a comment or view about those guys, but I bow to the better knowledge of others.

Make that two votes.

I can't even pronounce these names.

When asked what he bought his wife for her birthday Zlatan said "Nothing, she already has Zlatan".

When asked about being offered a trail at Arsenal when he was 17 years of age he said "Zlatan does not do auditions".

When talking about Pep Guardiola's management style "Advanced bullshit about blood sweat and tears that kind of stuff".

Next to his official wax work model "one is made of wax, the other is made of steel".

Borg. The guy was a machine

Resistance was futile






OOops wrong Borg

[brocktonblockbust]

@Greenbeanz what fucking bloody hell pornography has to do with this thread WHICH YOU HAVE ONCE AGAIN HIJACKED bespeaks of just what agenda you have, cowboy. Time to clean your clock and wipe your nose. Since when is it unacceptable to respond to a serious thread in a serious manner? Shall I go ahead and post here your little Skype Video on the topic and see where it goes from there? One day, this forum will return to normal after you have logged out once in a while and given others a chance to express themselves without fear of character assassinations coming from your cruel mouth. Bjorn Borg? Seriously Beanz? Is that all you have?

Peter Mangs, a Swedish gunman behind a string of shootings between 2003 and 2010 in Malmo, has claimed he once came close to shooting the footballer Zlatan Ibrahimovic for parking illegally.

Mangs says that he saw the footballer’s red Ferrari on a pavement and became so angry at Ibrahimovic’s “typically Balkan behaviour” – a reference to the striker’s Bosnian heritage – that he returned home to get his gun.

“I thought there would be a proper hullabaloo in the media if the gent in question were to be shot,” Mangs has written in a new book about his life. However, when he returned to where Ibrahimovic’s car was parked, the footballer had left.

Mangs was arrested in November 2010 following a manhunt for a gunman police had linked to more than a dozen shootings in 2009-2010 in Sweden’s third-largest city, Malmo, where about 40% of the 300,000 residents are first- or second-generation immigrants. Police later said he was also involved in shootings before that period.

The victims were shot through windows of apartments, businesses, parked cars, or as they were walking along the street. A court convicted Mangs of 13 out of 20 charges he faced, including two counts of murder and four attempted murders, and ruled that he underwent a psychiatric evaluation.

Judges said there was compelling evidence to show that Mangs had shot and killed two people: 20-year-old Trez West Persson in 2009, while she sat in a car; and 66-year-old Iranian-born Kooros Effatian, in the victim’s home in 2003.
