Tiger, I like that you won't let us wiggle out of picking ONE best.

Of the post 1960s era - BOLIVAR

Others make good points about Joey, Cachin etc but compared to these guys Boli was a complete player who new how to win at all frontons, formats even wild partido match ups in Spain (2 againsst one etc). He won countless championships including NAJF (with top comp), world champ in Europ and wins titles a planty - always buried in post 5 or 7 with below par partners.

He could dominate points, kill from both sides had an excelllent rebote, amazing catcher, good power,amazing court sense, tremendouse foot speed, deceptive release/fake, consistent serve, and killer instinct for a LONG time.

Cachin's wekness was not killing the point - too important a skill to be named number one. Otherwisee, a close #2.

Joey had no problem killing but lacked power, a right side and the consistency of Boli. ALso a #2 or 3.

Don't forget about the most dominent player when on - Inclan

good times
