well said Muppet
also if were using Sickpotters centuries as the barometer of GOAT-ness then Ronnies total per season is greater then Hendrys
True enough tons are easier to come by these days, not going to debate that.
I never suggested tons as the barometer of GOAT-ness, I just noted that you pointed out Joe's "great" 6 tons in a final, (like this is some great acheivement) while ignoring the number of frames invovled and ignoring that far better records exist over less frames.
Witz all your jumping around to various points changes nothing.
No rational person thinks that titles earned pre-modern day era are as great an accomplishment as those won in the modern era.
No pro or commentator has ever suggested the titles are comperable.
No rational person suggests that playing 3 matches to win a title is just as difficult as playing 6 or more.
No rational person suggests that a field hand picked by one player and consisting of no more than 16 players is harder to navigate than a field of 128.
The eras involved just aren't comperable and you know it, you're not that irrational.
The "titles is everything" position is based on events with comperable formats and fields which leaves Joe's titles in another era and unusable for comparison.
