i think the question is a bit shitty. its totally ok to be cocky, if you are right. and waldner is right. nobody can say that he is not extremely gifted.just an example, he won a worldchampionchip without loosing even one single set.
or another question. was he ever really fit and quick or had a good insurance. compared to chinese players or timo boll he is and was fat, lazy, slow and had psycological problems. but he was still more sucessfull and sometimes he is still better.

if michael schumacher would say. hey im nearly a perfect driver. probably the best for all times. would it be cocky? yes. would it be wrong? no.

so i dont see the point.
