I think this might be a very good match.
Hendry talking marmite again. There is no need to prove he's worthy of the world title. He proved that by winning it. On route he beat Dott, Ronnie, Trump and Murphy. So we can't even use to easy draw argument.
Also, Hendry on being asked by Hazel; "Is there anybody who can deny Ronnie from winning the title?" replied; "No." This is utter nonsense. Bingham beat Ronnie at The Crucible. The pundits can whinge, cry and pull their hair out all the want. But it happened, and there is no changing it. Bingham proved that he CAN beat Ronnie.
I know Hendry wasn't answering the question literally, and was instead answering the question; "Do you think Bingham or Hawkins can beat Ronnie on current form?" But even so, it's a mug comment by Hendry. As usual he implies that unless you are a top-4 player, than you don't have the ability to beat other players. Even if we ignore Bingham, look at Hawkins. Trump played amazingly to beat Robbo, then Hawkins played amazingly to beat Trump.
Just because the BBC pundits want Ronnie's private parts in their mouth, answering the question; "Is there anybody left in the draw that can possibly beat Ronnie?" with the answer; "No!" is knobbish behaviour from Hendry.
