Re: Pink Ball's Top 10 Players of All-Time
Scoring alone Robbo has the edge but overall game Higgins’ peak is better.

Nah, I don't buy that.
Higgins has always been a poor long potter by ATG standards. Also, I didn't take the mental part of the game into consideration.
Ding has better cueball control and is a better scorer.
Robbo is also a way better scorer.
Higgins edges them both in the safety and tactical department, but not by much.

Gary Wilson made 4 centuries on the trot at the UK followed by losing to Nigel Bond the match after that. And thats the difference between topplayer and non topplayer. The consistency and the ability to not drop below a certain level.
Ronnies peak level is extremely high but its his incredible scoring power, even on average/bad days which is the reason for his success.

He’s above Judd at present because of his extra UK.
I’ll be amazed if Judd doesn’t overtake him by the end of the season.

Lol, Robbo bit ahead right now on merit, but calm down and relax, we all know Judd will be overtaking most on those lists over the next few years if he carries on the way he is.

It is not about that why is Robertson ahead of Trump anyway? Because of 1 extra UK? By those standards we might as well change the whole list
Robertson never had a dominating season like some of the greats have had either. Ronnie, Hendry, Higgins, Davis, Williams, Selby, Trump all had at least one great season Robertson never had a commanding season, Judd has that should be in his favour + higher peak form

And? ROS has one less world title than Hendry but like 75% of the snooker fanbase had ROS over Hendry at just 5 world titles so 1 UK title as a deficit is unbelievably unfair to Trump
