I saw Pele past his prime and Maradona during his prime. It is my firm belief that Pele was the better of the two day to day.
Both sucked at defense.
But...
I still voted for Maradona in this poll. He is the most gifted of the bunch. His second goal against England in Mexico 86 is still the most precious example of brilliance ever crafted.
BTW, the Big Three are Pele, Maradona, and DiStefano.
DiStefano with Real Madrid owned Europe in the 50s & 60s (10 Euro Championships).
