You've got to say Jimmy because of his wider effect on the game. Career wise it's much closer than I would have thought.

Jimmy, not even close. Not worth a discussion.

"The Whirlwind of Old London Town" for me.
The only (admittedly big) thing in Murphy's favor is the one World title.

I get it why people would vote for Jimmy but still think Murphy is too underrated . He won the World title and is close in the other stats. In terms of UK and Masters even.

Yeah, I'd probably edge towards Murphy.
Based on 1 > 0
White could be argued that he had more consistency at The Cruce though.

Not by much, to be fair. Murphy’s been in four finals.

I can't think of a poll where Murphy would win

Jimmy White. Even though he never won the World Championship, he’s still the greater player.
