IMO Paul is the best player of all time when at the top of his game but Kenny is still the greatest player of all time. This could change and YMMV.

Too many factors to accurately assess.
Climo had different plastic and discs to choose from, different courses, different competition and therefore his game was a reflection of his times.
Without the success of Climo, McBeth might have stuck with baseball.
The world will never know.

This argument is beyond moot and null from jump. Different players, different times. Are apples better than oranges?

Gretzky vs. Crosby
Jordan vs. James
The parameters in which these kind of assessments should be made don't overlap. It's just the transcendence of great players. There is (maybe ) always going to be someone that is one of a kind.
McBeth more or less equals Climo, same with other comparisons. It's a privilege we have awesome sports that evolve and players that evolve with them.

Did Climo have a strong forehand, or roller game? I admit I don't have much experience watching Climo play but he seemed to be primarily a backhand player in what I have seen. Paul to me doesn't have any glaring weaknesses. So Paul = GOAT to me
The world will certainly never know how many times this same question gets posted.
And the correct answer is Climo.
I bet McBeth would agree, for now at least.
Climo is the answer for now. 12 > 4
Mcbeth is on the way to taking it over but let's wait until he finishes his career then compare. If he was to lose it all after this year (which I don't believe will be the case) then there's no way he could be called the GOAT.

Perhaps anyone over 25 on this site except you?
It's an interesting discussion -- Climo over McBeth.
A post earlier questioned Climo's roller game?? Really? He's from Florida -- he rolls (ed).
Paul gets a few (2 if he dominates, 3 however . . . .) more world titles and wins a multiple basket USDGC playoff v Ricky (or anyone else -- but c'mon, it would be better v Ricky) -- then Paul.
I can be wrong -- but I do care.

OK, then don't post in this thread anymore. Dayum, dude! You sound like SD complaining about Dodge.

McBeth v. Climo... Who woulda won if they faced off with both at their peak best?
Similar question is always asked about who the best chessplayer of all time is. And like McBeth/Climo, or Nicklaus/Woods/Jones in ball golf, it's hard to say if it's Capablanca, Fischer, or Kasparov.
One criteria can be who overcame the better competition of his day. And IMHO, McBeth has overcome better competition.

Until I've seen McBeth bust a move I'm going to have to give the Champ my vote:
