He can be a bit of a nutter but he's an amazing player. There's no doubt about that. :)

Same as in darts, Phil Taylor only went to certain tornys! Colin Lloyd went to every possible torny, thus gettin more rankin points and getting number 1! did it make him a better player no!!!!!!

No it doesnt. You think Ronnie is the best ever, hes not. I've just looked up that Ronnie has won 18 ranking tournements, and Hendry has 36. Anyone with a slight knowledge of snooker knows Hendry is the best ever. And that the current best player in the world is Higgins.

Hendry won so many tournements because he was the only player in the 90s! he had no competition!

Just back from Belfast. And I had the pleasure of seeing one of the greatest snooker performances of all time, for 5 pounds.

Absolutely phenomonal Ronnie. 5 centuries including a majestic 147. Still buzzing after that 147, crowd were going mental!

Goo on Ronnie!
So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

If he was that special then he'd be a lot closer to 7 World Championships than he is. As it stands, he's on 2, and so he's not the best player in the world. He might be the most entertaining (or most psycho) but that's not what we're looking for in this discussion.

Exactly. Until he gets at least another 3 or 4 world titles and a few other ranking tournaments under his belts he wont be considered as the best ever.
