@TheHighwaytoHell : There was no need for LD to 'craft his game' after Larsen when there were just so many of his countrymen whose calibre of play were classes above Larsen. Maybe you have never heard of Yang Yang, Zhao Jianhua or even Tang Hsien Hu who was known in the badminton world as 'The Thing'?
To those who say Poul Erik is outdated now, I would think again. Sure, he don't have the fantastic speed of Lin Dan, but he is the master of deception and can cut angles on a court and catch you on the wrong foot with the flick of the wrist. I was lucky enough to watch him play Dong Jiong for the Olympic Gold on 1996 and the crowd was just laughing at how ridiculously clever and accurate he is.
If I was forced to take a bet, I would give Lin Dan the nod, but only just.
Poul Eric a true champion and a great gentleman

only the ignorant can sum enough courage to put down legendary players as these
and badminton like all other sports improve upon every generation
just because they were not as fast as LinDan or smashes as hard, doesnt mean they made no contributions to the development of the sport
it is like calling michael jordan a garbage after having kobe bryant
they represent their era, like lim swie king, like zhao jian hua
