...i have my thoughts but i am interested in others before i give my view. My man run into an all time worldie performance in a world final otherwise he would be a world champ and who knows what would have happened after. He played unreal stuff in that final and would have won much more potentially with that boost against anyone else other than the guy he faced that day

Probably Hawko or Ebdon.

Ebdon is an anti-vaxxer retweeting Yeadon & Cummins stuff now, ffs.

I've bokked the hawk massively here at 9-6 up! No idea how i get them beat this easily. Ebdon was over rated for me. Not in hawk's class.
Hawk for me talent wise but run into ultra prime ronnie is better than Dott/Kendo/Johnson/taylor/Bingham. Brutal operator over the tough long session matches

It has been a fantastic match very similar to the world final. Hawk isn't scared of ronnie but that seems to make ronnie play harder against him.

Anyone can lose 4-0 to ronnie but this is a bottle job for me.

That attempted snooker behind the brown by Hawkins might be the worst shot all tournament.

He is still for me the most under rated player ever. No one has ever won double figure frames in their first world final and made more tons in the final and got destroyed by the GOAT playiing at his absolute peak. Ronnie never played better in a world final than that world final. He respects hawk way more than most pros.

I've always thought Graeme Dott was hugely underrated despite winning one WC.
Hawkins was playing fantastic stuff a couple of years ago and has been a Crucible specialist for a good while.

Graeme Dott for me too. Superb match player in his prime in a really tough era and the thing is despite winning the WC he ran really bad in other years too. I’m pretty sure he either won, was runner up or was beaten by the eventual winner on 3 other occasions. Hossein Vafaei too, consistent top 40 in the world without being able to play in some events as he is refused visa’s by some countries because of his nationality. Still young too and made 3 ranking event semi finals in the last few years. |

how on earth can a fella who has never won a major title be one of the most underrated players? surely if anything he is overrated? Id say Bingham by a mile out of the current players ( world champ and masters winner )

I think I agree. If he had won everything he wouldn't be underrated. Perhaps underachieving would be a good compromise? |
