Put it this way, we made an offer for Nesta before we did Cannavaro, and he chose Milan.

This is only partly right way of evaluating the facts.We get Cannavaro for free giving Inter our third goalkeeper and Nesta was among the most expensive transfers from Lazio to Milan.Something above 20 mi or more .I am not sure that we were so eager to get him for that amount ,so maybe "money talk" language was preferred more by involved sellers than Nesta's personal chose .
Exactly 
Both were great, but I'm suprised to hear there is doubt of which one was greater. Besides WC, Canna had nothing on Nesta.

You seem to be confused, both of them moved in summer of 2002, we bid on both (and we had no issue paying these sums btw, we did it summer before and that same summers, these were italian calcio royalty we were trying to get), got neither obviously due to the Milano clubs. Cannavaro moved quite expensively to Inter too (tho Nesta cost more, nearly 10m more), we got him 2 years later, which is another (hilarious) matter in itself.

L. Thuram, F. Cannavaro > Nesta
Of the CB's: Beckenbauer > Baresi > Scirea > Nesta > Thuram > Cannavaro
Only last two are arguable. If Beckenbauer played today, he'd be a midfielder.
FBs (will include Thuram here too): Maldini > Facchetti > Thuram > Cabrini
Again, the ranking of the last two are debatable, could argue it's the reverse.
Brio (the CB-stopper, was simply called the "stopper") was the bad, Gentile (RB-stopper, the "terzino destro") was the ugly.
Scirea was an extraordinary human being too. Most footballers aren't good role models IMO, but Scirea definitely was.
Don't think that's how it went down. We simply couldn't afford Nesta's transfer fee. Nesta might have had a preference, I don't remember, but that was the primary reason.
There is no discussion here.
Cannavaro had 2 great seasons with us, and had an outstanding worldcup
When cannavaro went over 34, he was severely decaying and the spanish league was too much for him, playing at real madrid
Nesta, was known in italy hating europe, and excessively italy hated belgium, as "the best central defender in the world" for more then a decade.
When Nesta was 37, he manmarked Messi completely out of the game each time they faced each other.
Cannavaro cant even fucking tie Nesta's boots.

Did you know Maldini was a juventus fan, and had a juventus poster (i think of scirea) in his bedroom ?

It was the reverse, broseppi. Can argue who was better between Thuram and Cannavaro (peak Canna was better than peak Thuram, but Thuram was more consistent, didn't have the 2 yrs Canna had with Inter), but Nesta was better than both. He was the best CB of his generation.

There is a good docu about him i recently found on youtube. It was kinda by chance that he actually followed trough to milan.
Why ? He was so impressed by the 1978 azzurri side wich had so man juventus players in it

Cannavaro defansive performance during the WC2006 are probably the best WC performance of all time. He was like a bull, absolutely unbeatable. As the tournament was progressing he was only getting stronger and stronger.
But his peak lasted only 2-3 years.
On the other hand Nesta was more consistent, and he was on the same level for 10 years.
Cannavaro at his best was better than Nesta at his best. But Nesta was more consistent.
