I know Graf has way more slam titles and overall titles but Serena is a greater player than Graf. I know she probably will never end up winning as much but she is clearly better.

Graf is probably the most overrated player of all time. Her record is mega inflated by timing. At the beginning of her career she was dominated by an old Navratilova and Evert. In the middle she was dominated by a teenaged Seles. And at the end she was pushed aside by the next gaurd of Hingis and Williams sisters. She basically had to collect all her hardware in the period between beginning and middle and between middle and end. I am talking about her 16 to 29 year old career too, in the beggining, middle, and end of that she was almost useless as far as winning big titles due to any semblance of competition.

Serena at her best would blow the overrated Graf away.

I agree. I have seen Graf play and Serena play as well. Somehow I am reminded of an equal between Federer and Nadal. Though both Federer and Graf won a lot, but they never seem intimidating. However, when Nadal and Serena are fit and flowing, they just seem to decimate their opponents. Is it their game or is it their body (thin lean vs well built)??!!
Whatever it is, it is still exciting.

Serena has the game of one of the best, but Graf is a legend in herself.
Her tailor made backhand slices, angled serve and inside out forehands just make her the better player off the two
