World Snooker Championship

[blue to the bone]

Between O’Sullivan, Hendry and Davis.

I’d vote Ronnie.

3 great players .
But Ronnie is ahead on every record and stat.
He's the goat

 

[blue to the bone]

The best snooker I have ever seen was played by Judd Trump, but he seems to have too many flaws in his game. If he can work out his game I think he could take both Ronnie and Hendry's records.

You think he can win 19 more majors !!

I know it was a different era, but Ray Reardon won 6 World titles, his first the score was 37-33. lol

The question with Hendry is what could he have achieved had he not gotten the yips? He could beat Ronnie at his peak but the counterargument is Ronnie was not fully developed.

Yeah, cos the old guard will retire and there is a serious dearth of talent coming through the ranks. He could clean up for a quite a long time.

Who will his biggest rival be? Yan and Kyren Wilson? He's miles better than both.

I think the game has moved on from Hendrys standard tbh

And he didn't even play pro until he was really old. A guy I think is seriously underrated nowadays is John Spencer. He was arguably better than Higgins and Reardon but he suffered from illness.

I dunno. He still has the record for number of centuries in a tournament at the Crucible. He was unprecedentedly lethal at his peak. Imagine how many ranking tournaments he would have won had there been a modern calendar in his day?

I liked Spencer as a commentator, jovial but sparse with his words, something modern day numpties could use as an example.

He made the first televised 147.... then learned they hadn't switched the cameras on!

He has won 3 and he is 32. There is more chance of elvis singing at the opening of bramley Moore then of trump winning 19 more majors.

I don’t know if the opposition was as good in his day

In fact I know it wasn’t

It was White and no one else

He could win more ranking events though. And I think if he has a decade like Hendry and Davis he could certainly get the record for world titles. The world is the one that matters.

Yeah, but that doesn't change his attributes of ridiculously heavy scoring and lethal long-potting. The fact he has that record shows just how far in front he was of everyone else. He was outscoring the class of 92 for a long time.

He would be put under massive pressure by the players today and could have cracked.

I’ve watched old videos and his opponents were sitting ducks, missing easy balls consistently and letting him in
