Not averaging 50 he won't!The iron chicken wrote: ↑Thu Jan 05, 2023 10:50 pm For the record Eric would've eaten MVG alive mentally. He was the master of it, and working a crowd.
I think someone did a statistical analysis years ago, can't remember now. Anyway, you're correct it's the Ali Vs Tyson debate. You can't match era's I suppose so we've only opinion..and that of course is debatable.sennafan24 wrote:How the hell do you even compare Peak MVG and Peak Bristow?
The boards, etc are drastically different between the eras they competed in.
We probably can't even answer this yet but I wonder which of them was closest to their peak for the longest. Or which of them was most Taylor-like for the longest.sennafan24 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 05, 2023 11:01 pm How the hell do you even compare Peak MVG and Peak Bristow?

We may have to wait a few years yet to answer that, or maybe not.

I just find the dismissal of MVG to be casual. We should go lightly, that's all I'm saying. MVG's peak, assuming we've seen it, was sensational, and Bristow loved him.

83 to 86 appears to be Bristow's peak. Between Lakeside 83 and 86 he won 8 out of 13 major BDO events. The latter stages of 85 Lakeside appears to be the time where he was "unplayable".Rogg wrote: ↑Thu Jan 05, 2023 11:25 pmWe probably can't even answer this yet but I wonder which of them was closest to their peak for the longest.

Yeah 83/86 were the magic years. But throughout the 80's he was there or thereabouts in big events.sennafan24 wrote:83 to 86 appears to be Bristow's peak.

MVG's peak was 2015-2018 IIRC. Sadly Darts Database is offline so I can't list his yearly averages. I'm mostly drawing from memory.

I'm just interested in assessing things fairly because people (inc. me!) are generally all over the place.Randall wrote: ↑Thu Jan 05, 2023 10:33 pmMentally mvg isn't on a par with Taylor or Bristow.Rogg wrote: ↑Thu Jan 05, 2023 10:31 pmWell 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.
Are all three players at the absolute peak of their powers in your statement?
