As the Snooker World Championships were about to begin, the media revealed that O'Sullivan, who had always been unruly and unguarded, had spoken again. According to media reports, in an interview with Eurosport, rocket bluntly said that the GOAT in the snooker world is only himself, Hendry and Davis.
O'sullivan
GOAT originally means "goat" in English, but in sports it means a narrowing of "Greatest of All Time", which means "the greatest player". As can be seen from O'Sullivan's words, Neil Robertson, who has performed well this season, and Higgins and Williams, who are also 75 masters, have not entered the Rockets' eyes.
Grades are rulers. O'Sullivan holds 38 ranking titles, topping the professional list. Specific to the three major snooker titles, the Rockets are 6 World Championships, 7 Masters and 7 British Championships. It should be said that such impressive results are enough to make O'Sullivan worthy of the title of GOAT.
Ding Junhui and Rocket
Hendry and Davis mentioned by Fire Teacher are also extraordinary achievements. "Emperor of Billiards" Hendry has won 36 ranking championships, winning 7 World Championships, 6 Masters titles and 5 British Championships; "Ball King" Davis has 28 ranking championships and holds 6 World Championships, 3 Masters and 6 British Championships. The results of these two people are also outstanding, and they are proud of themselves. Therefore, the Rockets also listed these two people as the greatest players, which is also deserved.
Turnips and wizards
Compared with the above three people, Robertson, who has won four consecutive championships this season, and the long-established wizards and Uncle Ma, are still slightly inferior. Radish has a total of 24 ranking championships so far, and the three major championships are not comparable to the Rockets, Henghuang and Daishuang, and have only reached the top once in Crucible so far. Higgins and Kim's left-hand record is also significantly inferior to that of the three GOATs. So it makes sense for the Rockets to ignore the three men. In addition, the overall results of Selby, Xiaote and China's brother Ding Junhui also did not meet THE STANDARDS of GOAT. Naturally, it is not within the scope of the rocket's approval.
