Robbo has a much higher peak then Selbo. Except the safety, he's better in all other departments.
But Selbo is mentally stronger and more of a grinder determined to win.

How have you calculated this?

Have you seen a beautiful mind?

Easy, just watch them play. Robbo is a much better long potter, a better breakbuilder and he's not that far behind in terms of safety play. Selbo simply is mentally stronger.

Selby’s long potting is incredibly underrated

Hendry blanking Yates.

Leo with another buck up

Nobody said it isn't good, but he's nowhere near Robbo, Trump, Murphy, etc.
To be fair, it's mostly down to his poor cueing technique.

I think you're underestimating Selby's peak.

Underestimating and deliberately belittling are two different things...

Maybe the snooker bosses feel pity for him.

Strange really

You have that situation in all type of sports though. Like Messi Ronaldo, Federer Nadal. Seems that most people only like one of them and at times even genuinely hate the other. Very rarely you'll find someone who likes both.

I absolutely hate both Messi and Ronaldo (the Portuguese clown, not the real one). I know that's not what you were after, but I wanted to get it out there anyway.

Can I ask why you hate them both?

Society virtue signalling towards old people

Minute plus on a shot is necer a good sign for Robbo.

Turning into a nice scrappy one

Gotta say to all the English posters on here that the overseas posters have a far better command of the English language.

Koninkaulus, Hustleking, Holden, - hats off to you.

We should be ashamed.

It's out of pity because he had cancer.

I very rarely like arrogant sportspeople. I know Messi's not the worst in that department, but he's certainly had his moments. And I hate Barcelona.

Cristiano Ronaldo is in the Top 5 of the most obnoxious, arrogant, self-centered douchebags football has seen. I really don't think that even needs further explaining.

It's a common misconception that you have to be unpleasant to be great.
