Hendry spent his last decade as a pro fading. Ronnie's spent his last decade at the same incredible level as ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that would make hendry more dominant those 20 and 25 years is the time between first and last titles Edited December 23, 2018 by milky_26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlton and Best far superior. Kinda what I was going for tbf. As a player, he was good but I'd never go as far as to say one of the greats. His celebrity status was absolutely massive though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 And if you’re talking snooker you need to mention Joe Davis. Easier in those days but his record in the world championship was dominant to the very definition of the word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
