It isn't about the rankings. It is about the length of matches. It is why Selby has won 3 out of the last 4 World Championships. Williams wouldn't stand a chance against Selby at The Crucible.
Snooker is similar to boxing in the sense that styles make matches.
For example, Ronnie has always played great against all out attacking players like Williams and Murphy, but he has had very tough matches against percentage players like Higgins or grinders like Selbo.
On the other hand, the likes of MJW and the Hawk have always fared very well against Selbo. It doesn't seem to bother them when the frames go scrappy.
Snooker is nothing like Boxing.
Almost all sports get compared to boxing, for some reason.
Every time a snooker match goes 2-2, it gets referred to by pundiys as being like a boxing match that goes blow for blow.
It's not very good analogy.
