seriously as well a player Steve was and hes one of the true greats of our game and a ambassador second to none but in Legend Terms sorry but he doesn't come even close to Joe and Alex.
you have not got a clue wild...................... you think cos he has a few stories about headbutting, or beating his wife, or falling from a flat window = legend
.....and for the record Hearn made Davis the cash, Higgins made snooker ripe for TV - but do not think that Davis would not have made it - cos he was born for success and Hearn propelled him on that journey.

Yes, I agree Alex Higgins is the legend of snooker.
Steve
I don't think Steve exploits are romanticed or exagerated...
Do Steve Davis' achievements need to be exaggerated?
The point is they are both legends, debating which one is more legendary is somewhat like debating which would hurt more, a broken leg or a broken arm?

thats the point of this thread
when you start to rank them like witz has with this thread then its a debate..
what the hell is the point of forums without debating and putting points over.

Maybe, I was just making the point that it is somewhat subjective.

There are not enough words in my mind to praise Steve Davis, as his professional career speaks itself.
