Are you a router rooter, or do you think Cisco (Nasdaq: CSCO) is headed downhill? There was a brief moment in time when Cisco passed Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT), ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM), and General Electric (NYSE: GE) to command the country's largest market cap, but that was a tech bubble ago.

Sure, it's bigger than all of its networking peers combined -- Juniper (Nasdaq: JNPR) and Nortel (NYSE: NT) among them -- but does Cisco have what it takes to get back on top of the world?

Not all Fools agree. Anders Bylund is bullish on Cisco. Chuck Saletta is bearish. Who is right? Read on and decide for yourself.

Duel on!
