Greatest Ever Snooker Player?

[RonnieO'Sullivan]

In my eyes Ronnie is the best to ever play the game, taken the game to a level its never been at, i dont believe the game can been taken beyond the current level he is producing,just wondered other peoples views?

Hendry for me 7 or 8 world titles.

O'Sullivan is a brilliant player, but he needs a few more world titles to be considered the greatest.

 

[JJ McClure]

O'Sullivan is a class player but the facts speak for themselves.

Stephen Hendry.
World Champion - 1990, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1999
United Kingdom champion - 1989, 1990, 1994, 1995, 1996
International Open champion - 1993. 1997
Grand Prix champion - 1987, 1990, 1991, 1995
British Open champion - 1988, 1991, 1999, 2004

titanic.........

mate im not actually ronnie o'sullivan, was you in the film the titanic?

 

[Albion Rob]

Hendry seems past his best, not sure what it is with snooker players, maybe they lose their hunger as they rack the tournament wins up.

Ronnie against Hendry in his peak would be one of the greatest matches ever in my opinion.

shame we do not have two great plaers at their peaks to go into battle at the same time.

 

[RonnieO'Sullivan]

its a fair comment ronnie has got to win more world championships to be considered the greatest, but the fact of the matter is he is playing without a doubt in an era where snooker has never been a better standard, the fact that steve davis is lost for words when talking about o'sullivan suggest to me that he is a Great.i quote steve davis " i have never seen snooker played like that, the man i s a genius".

 

[Gritt23]

Steve Davis.

The era he dominated changed the whole game, both the coverage, who watched, who played and the way people played. He was in a class of his own, a truly great player.

 

[SK1NT]

1) Hendry
2) Davis
3) Ronnie

Hendry by far the greatest, the number of titles says it all. Davis i would rate up there too, but for me ronnie is nowhere near these two. He is the greatest natural talent, thats all!

Sadly the worms of Vancouver have been tackling that seemingly impossible task since January 2003.

[Beach Hut]

Statistically it must be Hendry

 

[RonnieO'Sullivan]

sorry i stand corrected,thats fair enough, is that the amount of frames that had down the right hand side, surely not one game cant have been 94 frames to 43 wotever it was.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

What about Alex Higgins?

 

[Dave the OAP]

I remember my Dad saying that at one time they just used to play a time slot....he reconed Billiards was one of the cleverest, but ultimately crashingly boring game ever invented
