Which is sad, considering John is a far better player. -
Eh? Shouldn't that read either 12 years after his last one or 21 years after his first one.Originally Posted by João View PostComment

But isn't temperament just another part of what makes one player better than another?

Well.. first you have to define your criteriaOriginally Posted by PatBlock View Post
Are you asking who the better player is over a season, or in a short final, or a long final, or at an exhibition match ...

For me, the criteria would simply be the player's entire career up to the present date.Originally Posted by nrage View PostWell.. first you have to define your criteria Are you asking who the better player is over a season, or in a short final, or a long final, or at an exhibition match ...

I'm not sure if you can count Joe Davis. For the majority of his World Championships he beat 3 players, on a couple of occasions he beat ONE player.Originally Posted by The Boss View PostShould Ronnie O'Sullivan win the World Championship this year he will be only the third man, after Alex Higgins and Joe Davis, to win the title 10 years after his first one
Joe was a legend for his time, but come on... you cannot count that.Last edited by FOXMULDER; 12 April 2011, 05:14 PM.Comment
