Your Top 10 Players Ever?

[Rogg]

Just a general thought here. When people bring up the old players, they always come up as a singular thing. Bristow, today, is the monster of a kid winning everything. He is preserved at his very, very best. Players are only given that luxury once they are long gone.

Yes because the current players are still playing

I have noticed this.

Bristow can also be seen as the guy suffering from dartitis or averaging in the 50s against Manley at the 1999 World Championship.

There was always a lot of affection for Eric due to his struggles with Dartitis Like today's Boxers sometimes they need protecting from themselves, but with him it was a general love of the game.

That's not the version Uncle Randall is ever interested in. Yet he's quite interested in the shit versions of MVG.

That's an alternative way to build the all-time list: whose worst was least bad? Oh let's not. I've got to get out of here.

Eric's game being ruined by dartitis is somewhat different to mvg falling in a heap when someone puts it up to him

[oche balboa]

Correct

[The iron chicken]

Seconded.

Well that's life. We all get ruined by something.

And there is the MVG assessment in a nutshell. A lemon who fell apart two nights ago.

Mentally mvg isn't on a par with Taylor or Bristow.

I dislike MVG and his nerdy fanboys on Twitter, but he's at worst 3rd best all-time, arguably 2nd.

I'm not sure I buy this narrative about him being vulnerable under pressure, or at least more so than past greats. It's more that his game has declined in recent years from exceptional to merely great. Thus, it's easier to beat him.

Granted, he did underperform slightly against Smith in the final. He wasn't as potent as he had been against Mensur or Dimi.

Dartitis is mental

I'm not denying it. I'm just interested in assessing things fairly because people (inc. me!) are generally all over the place.

Are all three players at the absolute peak of their powers in your statement?

[TheMalteseDart]

Mvg is better than Bristow

[Rogg]

Mvg is better than Bristow

Now we're talking!

[The iron chicken]

For the record Eric would've eaten MVG alive mentally. He was the master of it, and working a crowd.

[sennafan24]

How the hell do you even compare Peak MVG and Peak Bristow?

The boards, etc are drastically different between the eras they competed in.
