in invitationals he plays okay vs him. Its the the ranking events where Ronnie sucks vs Higgins.

This idea that Ronnie is somehow scared to play John, or can't beat him because he has too much respect is utter nonsense. I can't believe people actually think it.

One thing I've noticed is it's rare these days that they both turn up. Majority of encounters seem to rest on one of them being out of sorts.
Toss of a coin.

I wouldnt say scared but I do think Ronnie gives him too much respect at times. Which means playing negative, taking more time on easier shots and not playing his natural game.
In recent time he did a lot better against Higgins but there was a 10 year period when Ronnie always played rubbish against Higgins.

Hasn't Ronnie won 5 of their last 6 meetings or something?

5 of the last 7. Higgins won in Scotland and Wales last season, ROS in Hong Kong, English Open, CoC, Shanghai (last season) and COC this season.

But its undeniable that between late 2005 for more than a decade Ronnie lost too many matches against him, and very important ones too.
At least he won their biggest, the 2001 World Final.

Is that because Ronnie 'respected him too much', or just because Higgins is an awesome player also? He is going to beat Ronnie on occasion.
The way we're talking, it suggests that the head to head is massively in Higgins' favour.
