Efren Reyes or Earl Strickland?

Question

Who's better n why?

Answer 1

Everyone has already said in detail what we all know about Earl to be true.  However, I do think that Earl is technically more proficient than Efren.  If he had a better temperment and a more positive attitude, I honestly think that he would surpass Efren.  That being said, as it is, Efren is a stronger player mentally and that can definitely help to win games.  Far too often, Earl defeats himself before his opponent ever gets a chance to.  Not that it's an excuse for some of the things he's done, but really that's just Earl for you.  I honestly don't think he means to do anything to hurt the game or to make a spectacle, it's just his abrasive nature taking control.  M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.

Answer 2

Efren by far, i love the little guy, he is very talented he's beaten earl "the girl" many times, earl i think is a little sissy, always crying about something in every match.

Answer 3

Talk about their different personalities all you will, but... on any given day either one would beat the other and anyone else that ponied up a few "dimes".

I would settle for being as good as these guys are on their bad days.

Answer 4

Earl might be a crybaby, but he's still AWESOME!!

Answer 5

You have got be kidding ..That is both ends of the scale

Bata could beat crybaby with his feet

No I dont care for earl at all Sorry for the comments but true

Answer 6

Talent wise Efren has been called the best player in the world as he consistently is at the top of all games.  When Earl is playing his game and not crying, he won't miss for hours.  

Earl is known as Earline according to Jimmy Reid b/c he cries so much.  haha

Answer 7

to me, it's Reyes..due to the facts that he has/shows good sportsmanship, isn't cocky and is so consistant..not to mention the unbelievable shots the dude makes :)...Strickland is a great shot also, but when he misses, loses, or someone tells him about a shot taking long (referee) he gets all upset, turns red and he's cocky as heck..i know, i've met the dude :P...you gotta admit...Efren is one helluva shot, right?

Answer 8

earl the pearl!! he is known as the best shot maker of all time

he would still be the best if his attitude was not so negative

Answer 9

Ofcourse the magician! Efren "Bata " Reyes.. He provided enthusiasms to the audience! Everybody loves him playing trick shots..

Answer 10

At first I thought '' depends on which Earl shows up'' , then someone slapped me and I came to my senses. Efrem by a landslide.

Answer 11

No contest as per Johnny's comments...Earl is just to much of a whiner.....always seems to be complaining and too much of a perfectionist.....great player but his personality alone knocks him out of the mix......only Earl probably would probably pick Earl....great player....personally think that he is disliked more then Barry Bonds!.....and that is saying a lot!!

Answer 12

Good call Johnny I have never played Reyes but ive played Earl four times . I felt like walking away from the game just to get away from him.

If  Reyes is an eagle Earl is just a dancing chicken
