@sdfghnnbb They are both much more professional than ronnie, but the point is that i think ronnie is the less professional player across the ranking. However, in my opinion, O'Sullivan playing at his highest level can play better than Hendry and White, that is why he is so loved, not because of his head but because of his skill to play amazingly nice and develop the table as he is playing, that is really insuperable.
@RHalford92 your forgetting todays players have adopted their playing style from stephen hendry including o'sullivan, hendry changed the game, thats the reason why you see a lot of century breaks, stephen deserves the credit he bought to the game. The game before him was harder because it involved defensive play. He was just a genius of the game, hence why he was consistant and genius of the game. The english are jealous of him. plus he has a handsome face, he had it all unlike steve davis.
stephen hendry is the greatest all-time player ever, although there are now more fabulous players out there like higgins,trump,o sullivan,dott and ding etc.
But stephen's records speak for themselves, he is the greatest we have ever seen and a true gent of the game, let us not forget steve davis, a brilliant player, second in world titles only to hendry, and also a true gent.
Although o sullivan is very talented and a great trickster player, he has not been a true gent like hendry and davis.
the only reason why this era looks strong is because theres hasn't been anyone as great as hendry to imulate him. sullivan hasn't dominated 2000 era's, he won 3 wc titles every 3 or 4 years, thats not dominating.
Hendry started the attackin style of play, thats how higgins and players now got that inspiration from. people say 90s era was weaks, but its not true because only reason it looked weak is because hendry was soo good, like barcelona today. ronnie, higgins already peaked after 1994 by winning some tournaments. but those players had to wait to shine till hendry got older.
You notice here that he never looks about at any other ball or even thinks hes going to miss back then now you see it in his eyes when hes potting, really sad wish he could just win it one more time and retire
@Teqo7 Yes they were, the bans on tobacco advertising came around the turn of the century. I'm a non smoker and I reckon it's bollocks that you can't smoke in pubs anymore
@NAMTRIP ah right,that's why Hendy has 7 world championships and more century breaks than any other player in the history of the game. Ya fucking bell-end!
@SaltireBlaze2 Why did he put a pause in his backswing,there was nothing wrong with his cue action....he was winning everything.....and now with the pause...well it's not going well!!! I think he should go back to his old cue action! But yea he's the best ever,no doubt about that!
@1THETRUTH10 I don't think the pause has helped (his cue action was silky smooth before) but I believe his problem now is more mental than anything else. Winning can't mean everything (even if he says it does) at this stage of his life than it did at his prime. I hope he has another world championship in him tho. I wouldn't write him off yet.
@SaltireBlaze2 Yea I would love to see him get one more world title!! As for the mental side of things,I think he does lose concentration more often these day,but Im sure deep down he knows he's got the game to start winning trophies again! They say he still plays well in practice......but I wonder if he changed back to his former cue action,would that maybe help??
Bogdychamp. Hendry is the greatest snooker player ever. Boring? He is arguably the most attacking player too hence 750 100 breaks. Winning is what counts and so what if he practised 25 hours a day. If Ronnie had Hendrys mental strenght and will to win he could have won 12 World Championships.

it's so amazing that this players have some kind of expiring date, while davis was the best at the 80's hendry at the 90's and o'sulliven at the 2000's i think hendry had the longest period of time as the best, hence he's probably the best.
what is it with the ronnie c@ck suckers. Just because Hendry supposedly practiced more or wanted to win more it diminishes his great career. Players like Woods, Jordan, Gretzky etc. were all the same which is why they are considered the greatest in their sport. You guys are getting greatest natural player confused with Greatest ever Period. Stephen Hendry's accomplishments speak for itself.
hedry is without a doubt the greatest snooker player ever(and i am not a huge fan of his) but even ronnie admits this.Ronnie can play outstanding snooker but hendry at his peak played outstanding far more often than o'sullivan who has always been way more inconsistent.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Alex Higgins, Jimmy White and Ronnie O'Sullivan are the reason people watch , love and enjoy snooker.
I've been fortunate enough to see them play. They are magic, their attacking style and charisma are one of a kind.
I've also watched Hendry and Davis.They were good, very good , but I wasn't captivated by their game, I wasn't mesmerized at all. I found their game boring to watch; they are doll and boring persons too.
The person with the most titles in a sport,in this case snooker , isn't the best ever. Hendry and Steve Davis were obsessed with winning, that's why they have won so much.
Ronnie O'Sullivan is the best snooker player in history, but certain events in his life have kept him from winning more titles ; his dad going to jail beeing one of them.
Alex " Hurricane" Higgins was a drunk , a womanizer and also a gambling man, but at his best he was better than Davis
I remember this, Hendry showed amazing nerve to sink that last black. That would have been a tough shot in any situation but as the final shot in a 147 the pressure was huge. Great pot.
the way hendry copes under pressure is phenomenal. he almost plays the same whether hes on the black of a 147 or in a casual exhebition he always acts the same. =)
@MRoOnOo i still back ronnie, no pissing around, get em in the pocket and get out, although his performance is rather erratic but when he's on he's on
@VillaMercedesAthens1 my friend to be the best u need to show achievement, hendry dominated over decade, what did ronnie do? noway is any player come close to hendry, hendry 1st modern player to make snooker so popular.
get your tiny minds around this - there are many millions of people, outside of your insignificant lives, who enjoy watching snooker. Not all of these people speak English.
give it 10 years and these "japs" are going to be running the snooker world.
Too many high breaks? Too much pot pot pot? Boring?
Ok. How about reshaping the pockets slightly so they don't take the balls so well? This would mean fewer high breaks resulting in more SAFETY play, closer scores, more tension and more excitement. The modern game has changed so much and although players are making higher breaks more consistently, this is not so good for competition and viewer involvement. I would like to see more 'battles' between players and more strategy. Anyone?
No high breaks is good why would anyone not want to see a 147?? Everyone is trying to change snooker if you want a faster more exicting sport its called pool
Why did you have to compare this to O'sullivan plumddvp?, O'sullivan nailed his 147 in with ease so clearly had all what Hendry had here & a lot more, Without the need for hardly any chalk tells me his accuracy/consistency was pretty good especial cos he got the worlds fastest 147
Boring, too many maximums, nothing to get excited about, once the new grey ball is introduced it will be a completly different game, the ball will be worth 8 points and will go on the old brown spot, theyre not sure where to put the new brown spot, but the new maximum will be 170, very challinging, dont think the players will even bother with it, long overdue, the wpbsa are thinking of removing 5 reds of the table as well, as 100 plus breaks are boring as well.
there's already a game called snooker-plus, which was patented by joe davis, and it has an orange ball (8 points) and a purple ball (10 points) although it never really took off, because the idea is SHIT!
im just saying that it looks slower u dum shit besides if ur used to playing on a slow table then why would it be tougher reply when you have an ounce of intelligence about snooker
ill tell u why mate... its cos u have to hit the ball harder to get the position u want. with these pros a slow big pocketed table and a fast small pocketed table kinda get evened out
Like anyone I have loved watching Ronnie when he 'is on' ... simply amazing. If I had to choose the best player of all time... it's close in my mind, Higgins, Davis, Hendry, O'Sullivan, but I have to say Hendry. He was so consistent for so long and taught us all how to play better. I will never tire of watching his brilliance!
in 1820 a man named fredrick osloft one day he was working in his lab until a ghost came by and killed him the next morning fredrick was nowhere to be seen 100 years later two boys went in the lab as a dare the boys where never seen again where aparently murdered now that u have read this comment tonight when u go to sleep the two boys and fredrick will come and murder you but you can stop this by posting this comment on 5 other videos by? midnight im sorry i relly hate these things

I don't know much about snooker, but it seems like this game isn't very fair to play with two players. In tournaments like this, everyone is so skilled that they have the potential to play the whole game out by themselves. Wouldn't it make more sense to make this an individual game? :S
well, in that case I owe you an appologie. I don't really follow all the snooker tournaments, i just catch a couple matches here and there on tv so i don't really have the global image.
That isn't true at all. First 147 in a professional tournament was in 82, there have been 68 after that. So over roughly 30 years there's been 69. sure they're more common now, but not quite 1 every ranking tournament. 6 players have made 147s at the world. A lot of the 147s have been made by the same people, Hendry, O'sullivan, Higgins, etc.
hendry is the best! 700 + centurys ...100 at the crucible,9 147s in competition..pure domination in the 90,s..Ronnie is extremely talented alright(playing with both hands) but hes a loose cannon...overall Hendry is King...
yet somehow Ronnie has more wins in those Hendry vs ;O Sullivan matches ;)
Hendry was the king... he dominated the game in his prime and he was/is a pleasure to watch. Same goes for Ronnie. He is not that consistent but when he's interested enough to play - and i mean really play - there's no match for him out there.
Having said all that, i feel extremely lucky that i was able to see both playing :D They've offered the public some amazing moments that will never be forgotten ;)
stephen hendry is the the most prolific snooker player the world has ever seen. perhaps not the most talented, but talent is widespread, its a question of what you do with it that really counts. ronnie had the potential to become the next stephen hendry as stephen became the next steve davis, but ronnie is immature and lacks the drive and nerve to be remembered as hendry will. hendrys victories throught the 90's will will be remebered for all time.
Raw talent, blah, blah, blah, blah. Hendrys trophy collection speaks for itself. O'Sullivan isnt even in his league. The man is a winner and thats what counts at the end of the day, not jazzy shots that entertain the public.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
No that doesn't count , you idiot. Hendry is the most succesfull player , he will never be as good Ronnie ., no matter how manny titles he has won.
When you say Alex " Hurricane " Higgins, Jimmy "Whirlwind " White and Ronnie "The Rocket " O'Sullivan , you say snooker.
When you say Stephen Hendry and Steve Davis, you are talking about boring idiots who are obsessed with winning. They dominated because they used to train 10 hours a day, not because they were the best.
Quote Stephen Hendry after his defeat at the World Snooker Championship08, "O'Sullivan is the best player in the world by a country mile"
He is a very popular English player and is noted for being a 'showman'. He is perhaps the biggest draw in the game today, and has helped improve the image of snooker to the general public O'Sullivan himself has stated his desire for entertaining the watching public, and said that slow, gritty games put viewers off.
@bogdychamp seeing that all your posts are being negatively viewed sort of hints you know nothing xD.
Ronnie at his best beats Hendry at his best? i doubt it but its never happened. but that doesnt make Ronnie better because Hendry dominated snooker to an unbelievable level for nearly a decade. Ronnie cant keep off the drink long enough to become a force like that.
@jimmbobb92 ... hendry dominated the ray reardon dominated 60-70s.. davis dominated late 70-80s.. hendry dominated 90s and now o'sullivan dominates... snooker isnt snooker without him tbh
ronnie may never eclispe hendrys sucses but ronnie is without no doubt the most talented player to play the game , just a shame his mind is away with the fairys at times.
You're right, douglas. O'Sulivan without doubt has the raw talent, but he will never be as great a COMPETITOR as Hendry. Hendry had the balls, the nerve, and the mental strength which O'Sullivan will never have.
Hendry will always be the greatest for me... He was a dominating machine when i fell in love with snooker...

Safety games are so fucking boring. Strategy games are so fucking boring.The spectators want to watch high breaks.
The pockets were reshaped,it's harder to pot nowadays, but the cloths are faster, that's why they make higher brakes.
As for Hendry he's an obsessed fuck. Ronnie is the best ever.

Why did you have to compare this to O'sullivan plumddvp?, O'sullivan nailed his 147 in with ease so clearly had all what Hendry had here & a lot more, Without the need for hardly any chalk tells me his accuracy/consistency was pretty good especial cos he got the worlds fastest 147

Boring, too many maximums, nothing to get excited about, once the new grey ball is introduced it will be a completly different game, the ball will be worth 8 points and will go on the old brown spot, theyre not sure where to put the new brown spot, but the new maximum will be 170, very challinging, dont think the players will even bother with it, long overdue, the wpbsa are thinking of removing 5 reds of the table as well, as 100 plus breaks are boring as well.
Bring it on
brentis2529 2 years ago
there's already a game called snooker-plus, which was patented by joe davis, and it has an orange ball (8 points) and a purple ball (10 points) although it never really took off, because the idea is SHIT!

im just saying that it looks slower u dum shit besides if ur used to playing on a slow table then why would it be tougher reply when you have an ounce of intelligence about snooker
lozzer078 2 years ago
ill tell u why mate... its cos u have to hit the ball harder to get the position u want. with these pros a slow big pocketed table and a fast small pocketed table kinda get evened out

Like anyone I have loved watching Ronnie when he 'is on' ... simply amazing. If I had to choose the best player of all time... it's close in my mind, Higgins, Davis, Hendry, O'Sullivan, but I have to say Hendry. He was so consistent for so long and taught us all how to play better. I will never tire of watching his brilliance!
ogopogoogo 2 years ago 17
Hendry is the most consistent because he's obsessed with winning.
As for the best ever it's Ronnie "The Rocket " O'Sullivan by far ,followed by Alex "Hurricane" Higgins and Jimmy "Whirlwind" White.
Stephen Hendry and Steve Davis are boring. They only played to win , that's why they have so few fans.

I don't know much about snooker, but it seems like this game isn't very fair to play with two players. In tournaments like this, everyone is so skilled that they have the potential to play the whole game out by themselves. Wouldn't it make more sense to make this an individual game? :S

Short answer: no.
Long answer: As you said, no, you don't know much about snooker. Or sports, apparently.

in all history of this tournament, only !!!3!!! players were able to make that 147 break. It doesn't happen a lot, trust me ;)
benvdd100 2 years ago
Well that's a lie.
This was true back in 1995. Nowadays it's more common. Almost every ranking tournement a 147 is scored by a player.
Last years WC even had two.
So, no, i don't trust you. ;)
Tobiasdaneels 2 years ago 2
well, in that case I owe you an appologie. I don't really follow all the snooker tournaments, i just catch a couple matches here and there on tv so i don't really have the global image.
benvdd100 2 years ago
That isn't true at all. First 147 in a professional tournament was in 82, there have been 68 after that. So over roughly 30 years there's been 69. sure they're more common now, but not quite 1 every ranking tournament. 6 players have made 147s at the world. A lot of the 147s have been made by the same people, Hendry, O'sullivan, Higgins, etc.

Hendry was unstopable that year. 95 was probably the very peak of his playing career.

hendry is the best! 700 + centurys ...100 at the crucible,9 147s in competition..pure domination in the 90,s..Ronnie is extremely talented alright(playing with both hands) but hes a loose cannon...overall Hendry is King...
krayzeepenis 2 years ago 2
yet somehow Ronnie has more wins in those Hendry vs ;O Sullivan matches ;)
Hendry was the king... he dominated the game in his prime and he was/is a pleasure to watch. Same goes for Ronnie. He is not that consistent but when he's interested enough to play - and i mean really play - there's no match for him out there.
Having said all that, i feel extremely lucky that i was able to see both playing :D They've offered the public some amazing moments that will never be forgotten ;)

stephen hendry is the the most prolific snooker player the world has ever seen. perhaps not the most talented, but talent is widespread, its a question of what you do with it that really counts. ronnie had the potential to become the next stephen hendry as stephen became the next steve davis, but ronnie is immature and lacks the drive and nerve to be remembered as hendry will. hendrys victories throught the 90's will will be remebered for all time.
rouncer74 2 years ago 2
Raw talent, blah, blah, blah, blah. Hendrys trophy collection speaks for itself. O'Sullivan isnt even in his league. The man is a winner and thats what counts at the end of the day, not jazzy shots that entertain the public.

No that doesn't count , you idiot. Hendry is the most succesfull player , he will never be as good Ronnie ., no matter how manny titles he has won.
When you say Alex " Hurricane " Higgins, Jimmy "Whirlwind " White and Ronnie "The Rocket " O'Sullivan , you say snooker.
When you say Stephen Hendry and Steve Davis, you are talking about boring idiots who are obsessed with winning. They dominated because they used to train 10 hours a day, not because they were the best.
They suck. Period.

Ronnie O Sullivan is a Genius
Stephen Hendry works hard to be good
Its well known O Sullivan often doesnt practise before tournaments and still wins them...He will be remembered more than Hendry

hendry totally revolutionised the way snooker is played
hendry has won 7 world titles to ronnie's 3
hendry has the bottle and the mindset, ronnie doesn't
hendry is the best there has ever been, no argument
doesn't matter about 'natural talent'
hendry will be remembered

Quote Stephen Hendry after his defeat at the World Snooker Championship08, "O'Sullivan is the best player in the world by a country mile"
He is a very popular English player and is noted for being a 'showman'. He is perhaps the biggest draw in the game today, and has helped improve the image of snooker to the general public O'Sullivan himself has stated his desire for entertaining the watching public, and said that slow, gritty games put viewers off.
mickstakes 2 years ago
you have proved nothing
there is no doubt that ronnie was and probably still is the best player in the world.
but hendry is by far the best player to have ever lifted a cue. The amount of titles and cenutries cannot be matched, even by "natural talent"
jimmbobb92 2 years ago 2
Hendry sucks. Who has more fans , you idiot ?
Ronnie is the best ever, Hendry is only the most succesfull.
Ronnie's dad went to jail when he Ronnie was 16.That and several other problems have prevented him from winning as much as he should have won.
Ronnie at his best is above Hendry at his best. That's how you can see who is the best, by comparing them at their best.
When Ronnie is in the right mood , he' s so good that the rest don't matter.
bogdychamp 1 year ago
@bogdychamp seeing that all your posts are being negatively viewed sort of hints you know nothing xD.
Ronnie at his best beats Hendry at his best? i doubt it but its never happened. but that doesnt make Ronnie better because Hendry dominated snooker to an unbelievable level for nearly a decade. Ronnie cant keep off the drink long enough to become a force like that.
jimmbobb92 1 year ago 2
@jimmbobb92 ... hendry dominated the ray reardon dominated 60-70s.. davis dominated late 70-80s.. hendry dominated 90s and now o'sullivan dominates... snooker isnt snooker without him tbh

You're right, douglas. O'Sulivan without doubt has the raw talent, but he will never be as great a COMPETITOR as Hendry. Hendry had the balls, the nerve, and the mental strength which O'Sullivan will never have.
