When was the last time he beat a top player in form?


2004 against O'Sullivan.


2012 against Hendry. :gag:

Nobody beats Selby on this form.

Can he maintain it though?


Very impressive from Selbo, but don't get carried away. He scored great, but Mags also gifted him too many easy starters and didn't punish Selbo when he had the chance.
Also, peak ROS is still superior.

I disagree.

An out of form Selby ran ROS very close and only lost on a fluke just recently.

Top form Selby beats ROS in longer format especially.

With all due respect, that is not possible. Nobody in snooker history has a higher peak than ROS.

Hes allowed his opinion.


Personally i don't agree with it

It's all opinions anyway and I fully respect yours. I will backtrack on my 'Yes sir' and say that I don't think it is an answerable question or one worth arguing over.

This is my take, too. I think we call all (presumably?) agree that Peak Ronnie has the advantage in break-building, and that Peak Mark has the advantage in tactics/safety and in temperament.

It's my own opinion that Ronnie has closed the gap in the past few years in the tactics/safety and temperament dimensions more than Mark has closed the gap in break-building, and (therefore) that Ronnie has gained overall on Mark in recent years.

But it remains to be seen how well Ronnie would perform against Mark in a final, particularly in a ranking final (where Ronnie has never been Mark)...
