Hendry - Ronnie is the Greatest player to ever play the game I have known it since he ABUSED me at 18 years old

Hendry " the facts are there for all to see.. the most World Championships in any sport means your the GOAT, Ronnie will never take on the World and beat them as many times as i did put that in the History books "

Again - this whole Ronnie VS Hendry thing is baffling to me. Both players call each other the greatest of all time and have a lot of respect for each other, and both are and were legends of the game, to try and argue they aren't or say they aren't good players really just makes you look like a moron.

It is indeed baffling. Ronnie came though the "GOLDEN ERA" of Snooker (Both Higgins and Ronnie having winning head to heads vs Hendry) while Stephen's main competition was the bottle job White and Ken Doherty LOOOOOL

Like I said in another thread Stephen is 3rd all time and I could make a solid case for John with his ownage in there head to head would also rank ahead of him

At the end of the day the GOAT won. Not much else to say

Where's the cueball going

ronnie has moved up to second GOAT behind hendry, its getting closer but he has more to achieve

yes hes a break building machine, but he hasnt yet dominated as much as hendry, hes won far less tournaments, less centuries and 2 less world championships, 1 less UK championship



number 1-hendry 72 tournament wins, 7 worlds, 5 uk's, nearly 800 centuries (still 90 ahead of ronnie) 11 maxmums. 471 weeks at world number 1.

number 2 ronnie. 48 tournament wins......5 worlds , 4 uk's, 11 maximums, 260 weeks at number 1.........

the only edge ronnie has is he has beaten hendry 9 times to 6 losses, though hendry won 3 of their 5 world meetings and ronnie beat him when he was past his best

Ronnie is a snooker genius, but there is a feeling still hendry maximized his talent which ronnie hasnt yet done..........a few more world titles and maybe just maybe ronnie can turn it around

great players, awesome performance from the rocket, hope he returns

Very well said sir

Although rumours have it that Judd is coming for that second spot next year

You are a wise man Mr Truth

Ronnie is better than Hendry. He knows it.

To be better you need to be more successful and i'm afraid to say that is clearly not the case

Hendry wishes he was the GOAT

Lets's be honest if Ronnie had this Peters bloke from the start he would be in double figures for WC by now. I would say he would have humiliated Hendry but he already did that when he was just 18 loooool

Some of you need to wake the **** up. Put it like this THIS PAST HIS PRIME VERSION OF RONNIE would still match PRIME Hendry prime for prime. However Prime Ronnie would humiliate Past his best and Prime Hendry

GOATS gonna GOAT, it's just what they do.

legend killer as always starts shouting and swearing and throwing his toys when hes in the wrong as he so often is..........whaaaaaaaaaa

the truth knows who the GOAT is but can't admit it

Ronnie still looking in good form at the moment, demolished Higgins. Think it's Selby and Joe Perry tonight. Ding already through to the semis as well. There's one more match but it's not being televised. Wish the Welsh Open got coverage on the BBC more

Winning the title with a maximum... That's how the best do it :pipe:

absolutely awesome
hendry tweeted the last red (left handed) was the best shot hed ever seen
I have to agree

ronnie 12 maximums now
hendry 11

record to date
worlds hendry 7 ronnie 5
uk hendry 5 ronnie 4
masters hendry 6 ronnie 5
ranking hendry 36 ronnie 26
all tournaments hendry 74 ronnie 50
prize money 10 million hendry
7.6 million ronnie
centuries hendry 775 ronnie 730

so ronnie whilst being the most talented still has to keep winning for a few years to challenge for GOAT
but today he was absolute genius and thats the best 147 Ive ever seen

Ronnie 10am Saturday, hope he's in good form
