Greatest Swedish sportsman ever

[Beanflicker]

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.

Props Master! dayum that was cool! the goal was a lucky goal, but the presence of mind to execute the flying kick to launch ball in the general direction of the goal was awesome

and of course the flying kick was a beauty! the run-one-way-then-put-on-the-brakes-to-run-the-other-way and then the flying kick itself, the timing, not missing the ball was one to behold for the ages!

Thank you Master!

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

Swedish are best when playing hockey: Lindstrom, Alfredsson, Forsberg, the Sedin twins, Sundin, Zetterberg, ect.

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.
