  • Fat's was NOT a great pool player. He had a certain level of skill, granted, but he was never on the level of the upper echelon players of his days. I love Fats for his role in pool, but he was a backroom hustler, plain and simple. Irving Crane was a true master of the game and would have wiped the table with Minnesota back in the day. (Honestly, do you think Fats actually tried to cross corner the bank off of the side pocket nipple? One of the luckiest shots I've seen in competition!)

  • exactly.i dont see nothing in fats those days.truly nothing.he was just a BACKROOM HUSTLER.bottom line.you can see it.its obvious.

  • @9LC Nevermind, I see it's a bug it keeps coming back.

  • at 8:40 the camera captures a mysterious flying rod or a bug.

    Does look like a rod though, could be the bad visual quality making a bug look like a rod.

  • Fats was a joke in competition, because he dident care for trophies. But make no mistake about it, Fatty was a feared money player and when he was younger in dead stroke, he could and would play anyone in one pocket.

  • amazing match..both gentlemen played great. Irving Crane played a better game though.

  • @patvanela1 Finally someone with sense lol If you notice none of these guys are playing REALLY good.

    honestly I think Fats played One Pocket and Banks better then any of those guys

  • I believe that shot Fats made at 0:14 was a fluke but I don't think he was trying to cover it up as a shot he went for as was suggested by his joke.

  • @plmijnygcrdzwaquyijo Fat's talent lay not in the game itself but rather in his use of psychology, he turned pool into poker and it worked in his favor more often than not.

  • @bassmaster3487 no, Mosconi was the best pool player on earth. Willie Mosconi pretty much defined pool as it played today.

  • fats was the best pool player on earth

  • Irving Crane is my idol. 100% class.
