Lock it up, mods.


2004 SF Ronnie was holding that mantle for 15 years! It didn't stop the whole bloody snooker fandom from praising 2004 Ronnie as the benchmark

Now it's 2019 Final Judd.

All the time ROS was winning he was saying he was the Goat and now Judd wins the Masters and WC, he has switched sides and is crowing in several threads about how Judd is the benchmark.

Very very disloyal


Forget him, have you thought of your answer yet?

No I don't think comparisons over time are very easy.

Judd has unseated him, there’s no shame in that.

As Ace correctly points out, Ronnie sat at the top of the pile for 15 years. Judd has risen up and surpassed him.

@Andre

Yes Judd has passed Ronnie 2004, I've said this a while ago against Snookerfan

1. Trump scored more points than Ronnie at his peak did between those two matches. 1539 points vs 1681. They are both attacking, offensive players so this is a very important stat.
2. Trump scored 7 centuries, Ronnie only scored 2.
3. Higgins was a better opponent. Higgins scored 1050 points vs Hendry's 514. Which leads to point #4
4. Higgins scored 4 century breaks and 8 50+ breaks, Hendry only scored 3 50+ breaks and no centuries. Tying back to better opponent.

And everytime I bring out actual data, no one has a response. I at least try to back up my opinions instead of just saying "lolz peak Ronnie da best" with no supporting evidence

SnookerFan backed away once he said 2004 Ronnie until I showed him the stats.

Look, I get it Ronnie has the biggest fanbase ever which are all Snooker fans anyway given they pay for tickets and stuff (never understood the Ronnie fans and Snooker fans divide) but at the end of the day stats and level of play etc don't lie, if you can see past his popularity and just think about the actual level of performance which Judd leads in pretty much everything, it's easier to accept.

You're having a laugh. Ronnie O'Sullivan has had matches in his career where he had a pot success up to 98% after a bo17 and bo19 match which also includes winning every single frame in one visit.

Namely the Masters final in 2005. Mastersfinal 2007. English Open final 2017. I'm pretty sure there are even more in the early 00's.

Lets see if peak Trump can ever reach those heights. Oh wait. He won't. And that's why he's only won 3 majors compared to Ronnies 19.

Average break for 2018/19 season:
1. 37.131, 715, Ronnie O'Sullivan
4. 28.748, 1223, Judd Trump

Ronnie's A game breakbuilding is still superior to everybody else.

Look at the stats I provided for a World Championship format tournament. 2019 Judd final vs 2004 Ronnie SF and Judd leads in every stat, that's where it matters. All those matches you said are less than the longer formats, what Judd did is he did it over the longest distance possible, he scored so many points that even if the 2004 SF was a match where Ronnie needed 18 frames to win instead of 17 and he scored a 147 in the 18th frame, the points wouldn't still add up to Judd's tally in 2019 final.

How can you use that to decide peak? Peak is between two best moments and matches in time being compared with each other, that's just a breakbuilding stat for overall season, not to mention it's so pointless because Judd beat Ronnie twice.

How can you use stats between two matches that were not played over the same number of frames, happened 15 years apart and where Ronnie and Judd played different opponents?
My stat proves that Ronnie is the better scorer on average and I conclude from this that he is the better scorer at his peak as well.

Even if that match was 18 frames instead of 17 and Ronnie scored a 147, his point total would still be less than Trump's and because 2004 Ronnie SF is considered peak Ronnie and Judd 2019 final is considered peak Trump and those two matches are the closest we have got to decide peak, when Ronnie was young and over 17 frames, Judd similar age and 18 frames, only 1 frame is different but more than reasonable to compare...and it makes sense.

You're just making your own peak up.

Actually you do mate. What matters is average points scored per frame. Of course Ronnies total points are lower than Trumps. He destroyed Hendry 17:4 in the 2004 semifinals. While Trump on the other hand played six more frames during his 18:9 win over Higgins.

Average points/frame.
2004 SF Ronnie 73,29
2019 F Trump: 62,26
