If Ronnie does continue for a few years it might take a while but I doubt Ronnie will hang around with a low ranking getting pummelled by Billy-Jo Castle. Has he ever mentioned retirement?
DECLINE !!!
Leaving the jokes aside, IMO only Judd has the chance to beat Ronnie. He's probably had the most centuries in the last 5 years and he's got age on his side.
Selby doesn't stand a chance. Even though he plays in more tournaments than Ronnie, he's only got 5 years more at the top than Ronnie.
Ronnie is now 42 and he probably still has 3 years at the very top, and another 2-3 at a decent level. Given his century stats in the last few years (50 tons in a good season, 30 in a decent one ), he'll probably have 1000+ tons by then. If I had to guess, I'd say he'll retire at 46-47, with around 1100 tons.
Selby is nowhere near as talented and when he'll turn 40, he'll be on the downhill. His century ratio is not as good as Ronnie's, that's another thing worth mentioning. IMO he'll retire with around 8-900 tons.
