Look at him now: Champion of the World.

dont think ronnie will ever get inside the top ten again purely because he will be skipping around thirty to forty percent of ranking tournaments but he will always do enough to stay in for the next ten years at least and pick up on average one or two ranking events every season like i been saying since during the german open
well already he pick up two ranking events this season hell probably be playing in six ranking events next season and i can see him winning one or two of these

Yeah got to agree with that... but maybe it wouldn't have been the same Ronnie we all know... but, still, if he carries on like this, with this kind of will and determination, he could still at least tie Davis's 6 World Titles...
Dont think it'll happen... but, like Witz said, 4 World Titles is pretty good.. the least he could have given his ability

Honestly, its like John Parrott says, if he wants to win 6 or 7 World crowns, he will. Problem is he doesn't want to stick around long enough to do it.

The problem is Alpha by now he should have had more than 4 World Titles... to reach 7, with his age and all, its a bit too late for that....

What should or could have been doesn't matter. Ronnie is World Champion, that's good enough for me

Yeah absolutely, was just trying to answer to Alpha... But yeah, the only thing that matters is Ronnie being World Champion, and, also, prove many doubters wrong.... that for me is also very satisfying
Snooker Overdrive wrote:The day of truth for Ronnie really was the last Wednesday. He trailed 5-3 against the tournament favourite and I didn't know how he would react. What he played in that 2. session was superb. He played 3 flawless frames, Robbo looked shocked and was put under immense pressure that made him miss a lot of long pots. And the way he responed in the evening session after Robbo made it 9-8 was outstanding. That was vintage snooker under pressure, the best I have ever seen Ronnie play.

Maybe it's even better that Ronnie hasn't won so many World titles because so we can enjoy it even more every time he wins one.
Or do you think Hendry enjoyed his 4. title as much as Ronnie his 4. title?
If you win it every year it's nothing special
