'John Higgins Was The Greatest' | Ronnie O'Sullivan Opens Up About Snooker Legacy

[@146-]

John Higgins on top form is unbeatable, Ronnie O'Sullivan is still in a class of his own!

[@Prodrive1]

Higgins is superb when on form.

[@martinjones7631]

Nice to see Ronnie being honest the sign of a good player and a true sport

[@strictlysport3624]

Higgins is pretty much unbeatable when he's on form

[@ifyourethere]

Paul hunter if it wasn't for his early death would be the greatest. Ray reardon is also overlooked overtimes when in conversation.

[@mattyjohnsson257]

I've got the same type of watch as Ronnie. How cool is THAT!??!??!! Should pick up snooker....

[@kazimkhan1303]

John higgins is the greatest

[@sugs1191]

He is incredible, I just think Hendry was slightly better- his temperament was even greater.

[@Geena-tn1pt]

@@sugs1191 I think it's a very close call. I don't think there's a definitive answer to this. If Hendry and Higgins at their absolute best would play ten best of 35 matches, I think Hendry would win 6 of them. But I'm not sure about this. Higgins at his best is a beast. Hendry at his best was unbelievable.

He’s taking the piss he knows he’s the best there’s ever been.

[@mikeyk212]

Ronnie don't believe what he's saying. The only way you can judge it is players playing at their peak. If that's the case Ronnie would beat Higgins or Hendry. The latter two are more consistent, dependable, boring , players for the long haul.

[@ignacio9590]

Ronnie knows higgins is the goat.

[@pauleveritt7176]

Just think how many tournaments Ronnie could have won if you had John Higgins . Or Mark Selbys mindset. But regardless is still the greatest player of all time. Just check the record books

[@dvidclapperton]

It is impossible to win 5 to 7 world titles in a decade for 3 successive decades including achieving 5 in a row's at the Crucible 3 times in 3 decadss including 1 or 2 of the 3 in a rows split between 2 different decades. Impossible including the time Doherty then Higgins, and then Hendry for the 7th time becoming world champion

[@jamesgoing4527]

John Higgins only 2nd to Ronnie as hendry played in a piss poor era famous for beating a pissed up Jimmy White 4 times 👎 Higgins is a machine has it all but not on the same level as Ron 👌 20 majors 37 ranking titles the most premier leagues the most centuries and 147s need i say more

[@146-]

Youngest UK champion and master's he's just an unstoppable force of nature, Ambidextrous genius on a 12/6 💯👍ROS#1! More to come💯👍

[@Geena-tn1pt]

@@146- Ronnie didn't win a lot in that 'piss poor' era - 1993-2002 - Ronnie 1 world title 1 world final - 1993-2002 - Hendry 7 world finals 5 world titles

[@Geena-tn1pt]

After goat Stephen Hendry who has a winning record over Ronnie O'Sullivan at the crucible and still holds all the records at the crucible and dominated the same era as Ronnie O'Sullivan for more than 2 decades. World champion at 21. 7 world titles. Most consistent player in history (9 years world number one) highest percentage win rate in history at the crucible. Made a 147 break v Ronnie O'Sullivan. Most 100 breaks over 17 days at the crucible (16) retired at 43 and had all the records when retired. Even Ronnie O'Sullivan calls Hendry greatest player in history. Only player in history to make 7 centuries in a best of 19 final in the UK Championships. True GOAT
