Yes, but I would also like to see why bob thinks Fed, needing smaller
total GS than Sampras, would be at least equal if he wins 1 or 2 FO's.
Is he implying that FO are more important than USO's and W's or is
there some other criterion that's not apparent?

Can't answer for Bob, I assume it might have something to do with Bob
spotting Fed a slam or 2 were he to collect at least one of all 4. Just as
I
do for Agassi now. Speaking of which, along the same lines, I'm about to
respond to a post above where hopeless fanboy Adam Thirnis states that 10
slams including cgs is the GOAT. Of course, that's a ridiculous premise.

usual spot on post..

under their logic, agassi should be GOAT..won all 4 and lost in a lot of
SFs, Fs..let's spot him, oh, i don't know, mabye 7-8 slams?? i could spot
fed a slam if he won all 4, maybe 2 if he won all 4 twice minimum IF and
only IF he had a LOT of Wimbledons (it is most important after all, ask
fed)..
