Now versus then
A player from today, not at the very top of the game but a very decent player nonetheless, wakes up in 1980. Kinda like the Ashes to Ashes tv series. For the sake of conversation Ryan Day springs to mind. Think he's currently ranked mid 30s. A very competent player but not in the top elite.
So when he arrives in the 80s would be become the dominant player. Would he become world number 1 and world champion.
Obviously all sports develop and techniques improve. Do you think that a 30 ranked player from today is too strong for legends like Thorburn, Higgins, Griffiths and even Steve Davis. I know ultimately comparing generations is a bit unfair but it's a fun and interesting topic.
