@capitalismforme..secondly you sound dumb when you assume what i know about history, because again, i dont mention anything about history in the comment (other than that when mosconi did his run the pockets were larger, which is TRUE) but hey its cool i know youre probably some 17 yr old kid whos hit a few balls around and now you think youre billy incardona...heres a clue, drink some milk, tuck yourself in, and think about how to improve on tomorrows debate class session...

@capitalismforme...if im delusional then you have dementia. tell me where in my statement did i say ANYTHING about who was it that petitioned the commission to change the pocket size?? this is NOT an important fact AT ALL! the argument is that efren is a better pool player than mosconi you dimwit, not who was the better activist for the game of billiards, did you even read what i wrote!?? you are a complete and utter moron with the desire to prove someone wrong but lacks the ammo to do so.peace

@mikeywikeylikey You're delusional. You're missing one important fact. Guess who it was who petitioned the commission to change the pocket size? You don't know your history. It was Mosconi palsy walsy.

The greatest

mosconi is great theres no doubting that, but efren has been known to play amazing in any billiards game you choose while willie was really just known for straight pool...and for all you people who are justifying willie as the best ever:

two reasons 1-give efren 20 more years is is just 60ish, give it time to let the "legend" title sette ln

2-mosconis 526 ball run was done with 5 1/4 inch pockets!!

todays tables are 4 1/2 to 4 3/4 and in the game of billiards, that is a HUGE difference1

@MrMudneck

Wrong. He did not like the luck games as he called them, but one time when he was in his prime he was challenged to a money game by a 9 ball player for $50 a game. This was during a break in a tournament when he was having lunch.

This was in the 40s when you could buy a new car for $600. He ran 13 racks in a row before the 9 ball players backer quit.

Efren might have a chance in 9 ball with both players in their prime but forget about Efren having a chance in straight pool.

526.... nuff said

Willie was great back in the day when the pockets were 50" wide.

i bloody hate this miserable old get. i know hes dead and everything but he was an arse because he hated it when people didnt play straight pool because he thought they were all too easy otherwise. id like to see him play snooker, even in his prime he wouldnt have had a clue, but the truly good snooker players dont disrespect other billiards players like he did regardless of what their game is, even though their game is definetely the hardest

[MrMudneck]

He sure was an amazing showman. and in my lame opinion, efren would have beat his aasss in 9 ball, eightball, one pocket, even straight pool perhaps if he were still alive.
