Will Ronnie ever win another world title ?

Pink Ball wrote:If Higgins wins the World title, Hendry may even slip to third of all-time. Higgins would still probably be a few triple crown events short of overtaking Hendry though.

vodkadiet wrote:It must be torture being an O'Sullivan fanboy. There they were on the evening of 4th May 2014 all ready to celebrate their idol winning a 6th world title, just one behind The Master.

They had already come to the conclusion that with O'Sullivan 10-5 ahead of a depleted and fatigued Mark Selby that the 6th title was already won. And surely a 7th and an 8th World title would follow? And their hero would undoubtedly go down as the greatest player ever.

That was exactly five years ago, almost to the hour. It is inconceivable that today he is still on 5 World titles and will have to wait until at least May 2019 to win a 6th World Title.

And this leads to these fanboys having to rely on ill thought and biased opinion from others because the singular most important record has not been achieved, and probably never will be.

Achievements outweigh opinion every time.

Yes, it ended 10-7 on the first day. But O'Sullivan was actually 10-5 up at one stage and in the balls looking certain to go 11-5.

I watched the game it didn't end 11-5 so Whats the point talking about that it was 10-7

A wise Chinese man once said to me that as we get older we get wiser, and should learn to appreciate that life is like a jigsaw. We are all different, but we must all fit together in our own unique place in the bigger picture. If we struggle too much, we will take a place but not the right place. We will never be comfortable and will become discontent.

Whether or not we all agree, we must seek to learn from other's opinions and not become enraged by them. Opinions are like the course of a river.

I believe John McEnroe has now found inner peace.

Holden Chinaski wrote:I like Stephen Hendry, he was great. But we all know Ronnie's the greatest if we're honest. Some just won't admit it. All the great snooker players agree, because they know a genius snooker player when they see him. Like Neal Foulds said; Ronnie has won enough, he's the greatest. Hendry admitted he was never so completely outplayed in his whole career... Higgins said he's the greatest. Ray Raerdon said he's never seen anyone better. Hendry was great but we all know Ronnie would have a won a lot of world championships as well against Hendry's opponents. Jimmy White was too high on cocaine and the party life to beat any top player in those finals.

pritambarhate wrote:I think if Higgins wins the world championship this year, then Ronnie will try a lot harder to win at least one more world championship. Ronnie doesn't let it on overtly, but I think he is extremely competitive when it comes to Higgins. I think he secretly likes the idea that his record is better than Higgins. Higgins reached 29 ranking titles when he won the 2017 Indian Open and crossed Ronnie. It seems after that Ronnie's performance went up and he won 5 ranking titles. Suddenly he was looking interested in competing again.

O'Sullivan hasn't handled the pressure as well as he could have and that is why he will never be the greatest.

No need for opinion here. Facts are what count.

If you think winning 5 World Titles is best non-pressure player ever then your opinion really is rubbish...

that's better than most players will ever have in their careers, and ROS done it 5 times at the biggest stage.

Andre147 wrote:ROS won 5 World Titles, 7 Masters, 6 UK Titles, 33 ranking event titles in total (and counting), many other non.ranking event titles, so yeah he doesn't handle the pressure very well

Most of those events don't mean anything to him. He doesn't even care about The UK or The Masters. If he did he wouldn't have skipped those events from time to time.

The World Championship is the ultimate pressure. It counts for far more than the others.
