Dafabet Masters S Final : Barry Hawkins v Judd Trump

Considering he beat Carter twice, Hawkins and Dott in World finals and is still considered a legend, it's a BS argument.

Thanks for completely missing my point. Ronnie's legend status is safe and sound, of course. But beating players like Trump put a lot more wight to that status, than beating Hawkins. The greater your opponent is, the greater the win. Capish, now?

Godd point, but I dont think Judd will make the same mistake twice and take his opponent lightly like he did against Bingham.

The Wenbo loss really seems to have gotten in his head and he knows he to knuckle down if he's to win big titles like this.

You are right. Ronnie fanboys are ridiculous. Is Ronnie the greatest ever or does he need to play Hawkinses to win? (Seeing his Crucible record, I would say he does need the Hawkinses )
But I would like Trump to win, it's time he's won something now, in fact, he should complete the Triple Crown this year

Why don't you ask those guys what they think about Ronnie. They will all say he's the greatest. If he plays Hawkins or Trump doesn't matter. How many times did Hendry play White for example? Ronnie became pro in the same year as Johnn Higgins and still managed to win 5 triple crowns... He's forty years old and just beat the world number one in The Masters. Nuff said.

Now talk about the match please, and stop obsessing over Ronnie.

Ronnie played Trump in his last 3 finals, so I would definitely prefer Hawkins. Trump v Ronnie will be a 10-7, 10-8, 10-9 match either way. Certainly not comfortable as a Ronnie fan.
