All the great players old and young agree who's the greatest. I think they know whats up. Even Hendry himself knows.

I never said Bond was as good as O'Sullivan. Anyway 4 of the 6 matches they played were only 6-5.

These O'Sullivan fanboys haven't the capacity to think. It is probably best to let them keep dreaming.

The first Worlds I saw was 1995 and Nigel played some cracking snooker throughout that event.

Bond was good, but never anything more than that.

How would peak Matthew Stevens do now as in his level between 2000 and 2005 ?

Better. This era is nothing special. 1998 to 2005 was special.

We need someone to devise a weighting system where titles won between 1996 and 2005 are worth more than those won between the '70s and '80s. I can't do it as I have children and a wife.
It's a pity there are no unemployed, psychopathic posters with an obsession for stats.

Williams and Higgins gettinng to the final this year has changed my mind.
If one of them can do it, then so can Ronnie.

You can see Ronnie going through what these 2 have gone through? No chance he prefers to blow people off the table.
