Hendry entered tournaments even if he felt unwell or under the weather or in recent years Crap. Ronnie has missed a lot because he cant be bothered.

I Bet Ronnie's Ratio is much higher

That's pure speculation. How do you know if Hendry ever played events whilst feeling unwell? Are you his doctor?

Well, it's the same for everyone else as well then, or is Hendry the only snooker player to ever fall ill?

What would be interesting is to see the density of wins to tournaments entered with the dates bookended between first and last tournament wins. This eliminates the period when they're young and still gaining experience and also the years spent competing when past their best.

Over an entire career Ronnie is without doubt the greatest of all time, his first and so far last wins spanning an incredible 21 years! However, Hendry may be considered the greatest over a condensed period of time because he won most of his titles between 1989-1996, with only one Major tournament win after that, his 1999 World Champs.

Fact is we can all manipulate stats in order to gain an "advantage" who in our eyes is the greatest of all time. There is no doubt however that for me both Hendry and Ronnie are the 2 greatest players this game has produced, but as I said it all depends on our perspective and the way we want to look at it.

I personally prefer to say that Steve Davis is the greatest of all time. Stating that, however, it is obvious that Hendry and O´Sullivan are the two players who has ´added´ most, and do posses the best top-games. Or is it possesed now with the Stephen´s case.

I hated Hendry at times when he was beating white in world finals but it has to be said he was the greatest
In that era , 1989 to 1996 .

Nobody could live with him but as always the chasing pack caught him up .

The 1992 debutantes smashed him up on the table .

And rightly so , He had indeed smashed them up on several occassions .

You know I miss seeing hendry in pro matches , He retired too early but as we all know he wasnt winning majors and tried for a decade or so to get back but the passage of time eithout a major frustated him immensely.

He always conducted himself in a very professional manner and was very well mannered with it.
