Best had great talent , but was not known so much outside Great Britain , because he played for Northen Ireland , not England.
He's the only player I know in the world who scored two goals in the same match , from a corner kick!!!!!
I saw him once , passing 6 players to score!
But was he better than Pele? Difficult to stay.
Lets make it a draw!

1.Maradona, 2. Messi and 3. Pele. My reason is that While Pele was great, you have to consider that he played in the 50's 60's and 70's. The physical requirements those days were not even close as those that Maradona and even more Messi have or had. Also Pele did not play in an European team, meanwhile Maradona played and Messi still plays in Europe and at a great level.

Pelé is the best of all time.
And good job for not having Diego Maradona as a contender.
He was good but not a contender for the best.
