Actually, going by Vodkadiet's logic, I find it bizarre he's not included Joe Davis in his top ten. Davis is certainly the greatest of all-time going by his criteria.

I thought this was an open era debate.
Maybe Joe Davis is the greatest ever. I don't know. But one thing is for sure O'Sullivan is below Hendry regardless.

I don't think snooker has ever had a truly great player yet. They have all failed in essence.
Hendry, Davis, O'Sullivan are all mediocre in comparison with greats from most other sports.

O'Sullivan is a greater player than Hendry. I am the most knowledgable man on earth when it comes to snooker, and my decisions the correct one, indisputably.
For the record, I disliked both men during their peak years.

Look mate, you obviously don't know anything about snooker and don't really respect the game as well. Hendry, Davis and Ronnie are legends and they are as great as any other sport legend. Just stop posting already, you're either a troll or an idiot or both.

Were you one of those kids who used to pick up and your ball and go home if you weren't continually passed the ball?

You see that 'red faced ogre' over there, called Phil Mitchell! He would have beaten O'Sullivan 18-0 at The Crucible, blindfolded and with one hand tied behind his back.....

Phil Mitchell is an icon of the small screen and a true British hero.

ROS has played the game to a higher level than any other player imo but even as an O'Sullivan supporter I gotta admit he needs to work on his World title tally. Yes, he's won a hell of a lot. But the World Championship counts more than anything else and given he's won many titles including UK's and Masters' in recent time its some sort of a failure his last World title has been in 2013.
I still think Ronnie has something to prove to become the greatest. And that one thing is winning another World title.

At last. A rational O'Sullivan supporter. Respect to you.

He's a better actor than the 'red faced ogre'.

I stand by my ordered list. Are you seriously suggesting that Willo should be above ROS? Come on!
