    If your talking pure BJJ then Rickson is probably the most respected, however the Gracie who has been winning the world championships has been Roger, and even Rickson himself will say Roger is the best in the world right. Everyone who said Royce really has no clue into BJJ. The Best ever is considered to be Rolles Gracie who was respected and loved by all the Gracies, he died young in a handgliding accident in Brasil

    Rickson is the best BJJ fighter to live. This is what all the Gracies in the family say. Even the old man. But Rickson is old and Roger is the best candidate to take his place. This is the family plan thats why his fights are slow to be selected and Rorion and the old man are the ones helping with the picking. They want him to have a very good record and to look like he's unbeatable. Rickson is the best grappler the family will probly ever see. I say grappler but I don't know about mma.One of the biggest developers of BJJ was Rolls I think. He died in a hand gliding accedent years ago. He brought a lot of wrestling to BJJ.

    Current, its a little early to tell but i would say Roger Gracie.

    Past, its hard to say, Rickson was undefeated but Royce eventually faced harder competition. Most would say Rickson but I have to go with Royce, he kept fighting when the competition evolved.

    Rickson Gracie, Royce even said so himself.

    Seriously, the reason Royce was chosen to represent the Gracies is because he wasn't the best fighter in the family, and because he was smaller than most of the fighters he faced.

    royce has the best record but rickson is the better gracie. aparantly there is no man on earth who has the ability and knowledge to equal rickson at bjj

    If you're talking about BJJ, there's no question that it is Rickson. If you're talking pound for pound, an argument could be made for Royler as he's been highly active in competition with many big wins.
