This isn't about who's a class act, it's about who's better between the 2, and that's Smurf.
Even I have a very good chance of beating Griffiths, let alone Smurf.
Well Terry is 73 years old and hasn't played for over ten years so big deal.

I'm talking about a young version of Griffiths.
It is impossible for you to beat a young Griffiths, as it is impossible for you to play him at any age other than his current one.
Lawyered.

A 73-year-old Terry Griffiths would still beat Johnny B with one arm tied behind his back, even on a Brazilian miniature table. He would put the cue ball safe every time, Johnny wouldn't pot a ball. Terry knows more about the game of snooker than Johnny knows anything about anything.
Johnny, you can't brag about being a good player and being better than Terry Griffiths without showing us some proof.

When we see this video of Johnny knocking tons in (with the odd reverse massé thrown in) I’ll take what he says seriously.
Until then, I take what he says as utter fantasy.

You could definitely see him as a car salesman though. Lots of slimy patter

Just thinking of players who won triple crown events. Not all 3 but those who won at least 1. Surely the worst must be Perrie Mans who won the Masters. Without making a 50 break. I know all sports change and improve over time. But you'd barely win a frame in the Masters nowadays without making a 50 let alone the whole event.

You will show us some footage of you making century breaks on a full-size table? Excellent!

I once played a best of nine, and made four 147s and a 155.

Murphy for me.
I think that people automatically dismiss Griffiths, forgetting what a good player he actually was.

Totally agree, I was there watching and he was a beast. Slow, but attacking and brilliant. The problem, for his career, was that he kept coming up against the Nugget in semis etc.

Thankfully for him, he never came up against Johnny B

If Bingham somehow wins the UK Championship before he retires then he would take the crown away from Murphy as the "Worst" player that has won all 3 triple crown events?
