He can certainly tie Davis' World titles tally, and Hendry's 18 majors record is not beyond reach either.
Fact is, Ronnie can break all of these records. It's all about his desire. If he wants to, he can still be a front-line contender for the next 20 years.
im sorry but if Ronnie is a front line contender for the next 20 years then the Next Generation of players will be rubbish to the extream
Here you go again. If Ronnie is still playing to the same standard as he is now, how on earth do you expect anyone to be playing so much better? Do you think 99% pot success is attainable on a regular basis or something? Where do you get this wacko logic??? If a player is in the elite to an old age that means nothing other than he is good enough. Snooker is not a physical sport.
Taylor is in his 50s and has won numerous tournaments in his 50s including the WC. Are you trying to tell us all that the darts players are just too crap?
Ronnie won't be playing in 20 years, I guarantee you that, but you've already gotten it into your head that an old player HAS to be a rubbish player. Likely because Hendry was largely a spent force at 27. Wild, there are exceptions to every rule. Ronnie is an exception. So is Phil Taylor. So is Ryan Giggs.
On topic:
Stephen Hendry's 775 centuriesDefinitely. And by averages already.
Stephen Hendry's 11 maximum breaksDefinitely. And by averages already.
In fact, he is already on 12, but it is not included for dodgy reasons.
He will probably exceed Hendry's Major total of 4 (which he shares).
He has a decent chance of exceeding Hendry's WC of 3 (which he shares).
Steve Davis's 28 ranking titlesGood chance
Stephen Hendry's 6 Masters titlesGood chance of equalling.
tie Steve Davis's 6 World titlesGood chance
tie Stephen Hendry's 7 World titles25% imho
Stephen Hendry's 7 World titlesNo. I don't think so. But you never know.
Stephen Hendry's 18 majorsDecent chance.
Stephen Hendry's 36 ranking titlesNo chance.
Oldest World Champion in snooker historyI'm gonna say no.
