Obviously considering all of them at the best, how would you rank these 4 ?

Cannavaro's a bit dirty but considering he's not that fast, or tall, he makes very, very few mistakes. Like Baresi, he's smart enough to not ahve to do a lot of sprinting and uses his body well enough to win more headers than he really should considering his height. Nesta's close to him though and has a few more years left to overtake him while Cannavaro's career's almost overkanchelskis14 said:Interesting. Maldini was better than Baresi for me, but i didn't know many rated Cannavaro better than Nesta.

Both Maldini and Baresi are what I call "complete" defenders and both players are what I consider the best defenders ever. Despite that Baresi was a better leader and teacher. He held great influence on many young talent (Maldini, Panucci but also players like Desailly) who ended up becoming great defenders themselves.
Nesta is Italy's finest defender. Ok he is not a specialist marker as Cannavaro is but he is a much complete defender and stronger on air. So my list is this
Baresi
Maldini
Nesta
Cannavaro
Cal? said:Barsei vs Maldini is a very close call, one I consider the best centreback ever and the other the best leftback ever. If I had to choose, I'd say Maldini only because he's had a career right at the top for 20 years, that little bit longer than Baresi.
Nesta is a bit like Rio & Cannavaro is more like Terry (a lot shorter), not a lot between them again...
