Question

Who's the greatest snooker player???

Answer 1

bet your are not old enough to know the answer,,,it was Joe Davis absolute master of the "green Baize"before they widened the pockets and made lighter crystalite balls to accomadate viewers on bbc "pot black" and "big Break"

oh and his brother Fred Davis was pretty special too

Answer 2

Mark Selby is the best he had 2 qualify 2 get in the crucible and got 2 the final which when being 12-4 down he came back 2 14-12 wat can i say.

Answer 3

regardless of what you think of him hendry is the best thats not me talking  his record until some one betters it. here is the thing even his peers have have confirmed that  the most world titles double the century breaks than any one else the list goes on

Answer 4

At his height, Steve Davis would have been a match for anybody. He was/is a methodical points scorer. But the best `natural` player ever is a toss-up between the great Alex Higgins and Ronnie O'Sullivan.

That said, Joe Davis won the World Championship 15 times in succession, often played the whole tournament left-handed to give his opponent a chance, and was almost blind in one eye. Now that's greatness.

Answer 5

What the heck is snooker?

Answer 6

without a shadow of doubt Stephen Hendry, you can't compare different eras in any sport as equipment and conditions change and also because you only have to be better than your closest competitor, but Stephen Hendry has achieved records i don't think will be equalled in the near or distant future.

Answer 7

Definately Ronnie. But Neil Robertson and Mark Selby will be champions in the next few years.

Answer 8

Davis

Answer 9

Depends on the era.  O'Sullivan is the best now.  

90's - Stephen Hendry

80's - Steve Davis

70's - Ray Reardon

        - Before that Joe Davis was virtually unbeatable.
