Some people do think Anand is one of the greatest champions ever. One of them is Vladimir Kramnik, but the majority comes from his fellow countrymen - Indians, for obvious reasons.
But Carlsen has just begun, and has a long way to go through a lot of championships to be considered a name worth mentioning with the likes of Botvinnik/Tal/Fischer/Karpov/Kasparov etc.
Whereas mere ratings do not say much. They mean just what they are - probability of win per match against the contemporaries.
good point
I am not a carlsen fan but i can't deny that he is a fantastic player

Anand 6,5-5,5 Carlsen
I hope Anand wins just because I feel everyone has written him off already. My brain says that Carlsen will still win though,

also, if Anand wins, we might enjoy him in such a moment of excitement again! 
anand is better than carlsen but he doesnt try that hard normaly but by a match for world title when the stakes are high he will give it everything hes got, anand in his prime game is not to be messed with, even magnus carlsen should be afraid, most likely his best move will be to simply resign right from the start, and save his energy for something he can win.

I have to go with Carlsen as well. However, if Anand manages to defend his title, then Anand gets my vote in the history books as one of the greatest champions ever along with Kasparov.

I don't give Anand that nod just yet because let's be honest, when Kasparov was still playing, he WTFOWNED Anand on a regular basis. It was like a whole other level of playing strength, and Anand couldn't touch him. But as I said, if Anand can survive Carlsen, I will give him that nod.
perhaps true, but i will never be an anand fan. I also don't believe that he is worthy to be world champion although he is very good
The final score will be..... drum roll please..... 6.5-4.5 in Carlsens favor. 3 wins, 1 loss, 7 draws. Y'all heard it here first.

You surely are joking, right? I think you might need to educate yourself on the games played by Anand. He is a 5 time World Champion! Not just some random FIDE champ from the late 90's(no offense to Ponomariov, Khalifman, etc).
You're right about those non world championship tournaments that name all those non world champions, they were simply tournaments. Beating the world champion in a match in my opinion is the only real way to to be called a real world champion.
Anand is fully worthy of his title.
Anand, like Karpov, was unfortunately born in Kasparov's era, knocking him out of the running for greatest of all time.
Yeah, but if he beats Magnus (who is the youngest ever to be #1 even if he hasn't won the title) at Anands age he WILL be looked upon as one of the all time greats even if he was in Kaspys era.

Yes Anand is good, but look at Kramnik Carlsen aronian. Surely you can't forget that Anand lost miserably to Carlsen. Ok so that is not a fair comparison, but still if you look at even the accomplishments of say boris Gelfand in tournaments anand looks pretty bad. Yes Gelfand lost to anand in the championships, but i would still think Gelfand is better. Others will have different opinions but i think that Gelfand is stronger even if he did lose to anand in the 2012 championships. I hope that i haven't offended anyone but probably have. that is just my opinion you can have your own opinion.
Big match coming up. What do you think the score will be? I would say Carlsen but only 1 point ahead. Your thoughts?
