Question

Who is the greatest living pool player?

Answer 1

Efren Reyes without a doubt

Answer 2

The only guy I've ever heard of is Mike Massy.

Answer 3

men: Efren Reyes

women: Allison Fisher

Answer 4

I'd say Masconi.

I don't think the best woman is playing on any circuit right now, but I'd take Corr over all the others.

Answer 5

Mike Segal

P.S. Steve Mizerak is dead

Answer 6

what about that "black widow" lady.  She's pretty d**n good

Answer 7

Efren Reyes

Answer 8

its either Willie Mosconi or Efren Reyes.

Willie's 526 run is unmatchable for so many years, while Reyes is the best all round table game player ever.

Answer 9

Earl Strickland is the best.

Answer 10

Why did you even ask this question.....is there any doubt from the answers that it is Efren Reyes..........aka "Bata"

Answer 11

allison fisher will kick anyones butt!!!---male or female!!!

Answer 12

2 points

Answer 13

no clue!

Answer 14

Pool is a streaky game,  hot one day , cold the next . But I have to agree that Efrem Reyes is probably the most consistent living pool player.      P.S. the great Willie Mosconi was by far the best pocket pool player ever. 15 world championships mostly on 10 foot tables speaks for itself. Unfortunately Willie has passed away.

Answer 15

Efren "Bata" Reyes of Philippines and no doubt about it.. Won almost world pool competitions and even beat Earl Strickland a numerous times, without having a loss from your err.. strickland.

Answer 16

I agree with Bobby. Allison Fischer is the best.

Answer 17

this is a tough one....i'd have to say the late steve "the miz" mizerak but jimmy mataya coming in close but then these are our classic players

Answer 18

At times I thought I was, but no luck.. I beleive that would be Will Masconi..He was for years, but with all the new talent out there to day its hard to keep tract..There are some really good ladies out there to..For trick shots I say Misconi.. For 8 and 9 ball , I've got no Idea..Your  friend in Tennessee...ROB

Answer 19

Earl Strickland is the best strictly pool player, but i've seen the best snooker players on earth, Ronnie O'Sullivan play and he shows us there isn't a huge difference between pool and snooker. Anyway it is painly clear to see that he has a ton more of skill than even the best pool players that I've seen but he isn't used to braking and canoning the balls because snooker is not plaied in this way.

Answer 20

efren 'BATA' reyes! even greats like earl strickland, nick varner, johnny archer, oliver ortmann, ralf souquet, django bustamante, and many others can tell you that ...

Answer 21

the magician efren reyes

Answer 22

me

Answer 23

Yes, Earl Strickland or that Black Widow asian lady.

See if your local library has vhs tapes or dvd's about Earl Strickland - it is JAW dropping!

Answer 24

Efren Reyes is without a doubt the greatest living pool player in the world. He's won more tournaments than anybody. Even though he's getting old, he's still the one who makes the most money. He just won the biggest price in pool history winning $200 K. If he was an American, he'd probably won more tourney since he's only started competing in the US in 1985
