Earl Strickland in his prime (80’s & 90’s) was dam near impossible to beat.
@chrisbryant18362 жыл бұрын
Most impressive to me about Strickland is that he has stayed relevant and competitive as the standard of pool has improved fairly significantly over the last 40 years. To think someone could win a championship in 1983, and then be selected for the 2022 Mosconi cup America's team is simply amazing. Real shame he wasn't able to play.

These legends are running racks like legends yet the commentators can't shut up with how Shane and Earl are playing every shot wrong, shooting the wrong order, hitting the balls the wrong way, on and on. Someone send a memo the commentators that this isn't their match. Also we want to hear what Earl is saying to the referee and the crowd, but naturally the commentators are rambling over the room audio about how they would play the match better.

@@pechinma @pechinma Those three are very iconic 8 ball players, really are, I personally have noted them many times, but SVB, Reyes, and younger Ko in my opinion have very large tournament wins, which is why I consider those 3 to be the very best 8 ballers, then there is bustie, darren, hohmann, alex pagulayan, Melling, Hatch, Seigel, Archer, Ronnie O'sullivan, Lin ( I believe that's his name? I forget some chinese and taipai players) I would say is my favorite 8 ball players of all time, with SVB and Reyes being the best, and the 3 you mentioned probably the next in line.

Would of liked to see Shane and Earl player each other both at their prime. Earl can still play, however in his prime he was a machine. SVB is more calculated and probably better suited for 8 ball, however earl would of been the better 9 ball player. Both of them are 5 time US 9 ball champions.
