John Higgins, Mark Selby, Mark Williams. Who is the greatest, 2nd, 3rd greatest out of the 3?

This is a really tough one.
My gut reaction is Higgins > Williams > Selby. But that seems unfair on Selby, so I've switched those two around.
Higgins > Selby > Williams.
That's going by World titles and then titles.

It has to be Higgins, Selby, Williams.

If Selby wins another Workd Championship, then I would begrudgingly put him above Williams. It’s only a matter of time now.

If Selby wins another, there's a major argument for putting him ahead of Higgins. And I'm a Higgins fan.
I do think Davis should be in this company too.

And what does John Dalton think?

I'm not really sure why people put Williams above Selby to be honest. Selby has been a far more consistent player ever since 2008. He's never dropped out of the top 16 during that time whereas Williams has a few times. He's won 4 world titles. He was world number 1 for 4 years in a row.

the question was who is greater, not more consistent though.

I agree Judders. I like Williams a lot, he's probably a better player, but I don't think he can be considered greater. 4 > 3 etc.

I don't think Selby is ahead Higgins yet. If he wins a 5th world title then that will of course change.
