Worlds best...

Vidic and Puyol for me. Ferdinand hasn't had enough game time this season to prove himself as a world great, but he's proven to be consistently solid for many years now which makes him worthy of a mention. John Terry is also an asset to any defence and I'm surprised that I'm the first to mention him.

There are so many other contenders from today's game and that of yesteryear:

Roberto Carlos
Nesta
Franz Beckenbaur
Ricardo Carvalho
Jaap Stam
Marquez
Cannavaro

All great defenders in my book and worthy of every praise they receive...

lmao! so I'm not the only one who says that :D

Rio IMHO is riding on Vidic's golden coattail he simply has to mop up loose balls that Vidic creates... he's had good moments but nothing great to be considered one of the best.

Giorgio Chiellini also deserves a good mention for the last few seasons he's had
 
Why is Cannavaro rated so highly? He was lucky to win world player of the year of the year considering that Thierry Henry made it to the champions league final and the final of the world cup in that same year and was in blistering form for Arsenal in the league.

the way Cannavaro played that in the two years leading to the WC victory he was unstoppable! especially for a defender... he was everywhere breaking up play defending like a zealot! Pity after moving to Real he's forrm dropped below his usual standards :(

Never rated him that much. He only really became brilliant two seasons ago. Before that he was immature and just generally urgh....
