It's not a serious question, is it?

Carlsen has already proven he is afraid to challenge the world's best players in match play. He'll always be a nice little tournament player, but will be forgotten by history...irrelevant...too afraid to step up the plate and take a swing.

A pity that such talent always proves impotent in the hands of a coward.

Carlsen has proven, for the last 3 years, that he is the most amazing player on earth. I always root against him(I even concentrate really hard on putting a curse on him), but he is always, disappointingly, incredible!

The most amazing thing is that Carlsen has won 9 of his 12 latest super-tournaments, keeps increasing his lead on the rating list, has good chances to win his third Chess Oscar in a row, and still only is 20 years old. Hard to find many players in the history of the game with such achievements already at 20.
