Carlsen hasn't retired. Why does Caruana/Nakamura deserve to be in the goat discussion?
For just sure chess Naka would be in the convo, but overall, he shouldn't be in the top ten, let alone top five
For greatest of all time? Naka probably isn't top 30. He hasn't been consistently top 5 in the world throughout his chess career, generally somewhere in the top 5-15 spots so why is he in this conversation at all? He's currently number 2 by FIDE classical rating but heaps of people have also done that, throughout Magnus's reign and throughout chess history.
For speed chess skill alone Naka makes top 100
Wrong. Hikaru Nakamura has zero World Rapid titles and zero World Blitz titles.
Online, at the least, Naka is a demigod, Highest ever Bullet (or was it blitz) rating of 3550! and crushing Magnus in SCC so badly that the GOAT himself admitted Nakamura was a different class of player
(Edit & addition: I've known 1 player that drew, simply drew Naka, and they freaked out for almost a straight week and immediately wrote a blog about it, just for drawing him)

by the way, Fischer quit chess in 1972 after becoming world champion when he was 29 years old. Magnus is now 32 years old (almost 33) and is showing no signs of slowing down dominating elite events.
Magnus has less experience? that's actually laughable.

Magnus, because theory hasn't stopped (yet), and Magnus is the most active player. Bobby Fischer wasn't around in the era where there are so many opening theories

Magnus is not from this world, he has a very different way of thinking. Genius!

Magnus is the GOAT! He's now beating up on GMs with openings like 1. h4 or a4 etc... Throwing away a tempo and playing nonsense for the first few moves of the game.
I've always been a fanatic of Carlsen, but unfortunately he retires. The second place for me goes on equal terms to Kasparov and Fischer. It would have been interesting to see a match between them.
