Better strength in depth in the field at that point, yes. But better than Taylor, Priestley, Manley, Harrington, Burgess, Warriner, Smiffy and a slow rising Part at the top?HalloweenJack wrote: ↑Fri Sep 08, 2023 5:04 pm Ted’s 2000 world title had arguably a stronger field than the PDC equivalent. Back then he was a legitimate top 3 player in the world.
2000 was Hankey at his peak and it could be argued very strongly that he was better (at that time) than all the names you mention with the exception of Taylor.PT13 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 7:02 pmBetter strength in depth in the field at that point, yes.

I doubt he was better than Priestley, Manley, Harrington or Burgess at that time. Admittedly, Hankey's win over Mason was very impressive.HalloweenJack wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 10:13 pm2000 was Hankey at his peak and it could be argued very strongly that he was better (at that time) than all the names you mention with the exception of Taylor.PT13 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 7:02 pmBetter strength in depth in the field at that point, yes.

I actually think Priestley's win over Manley was just as, if not more, impressive than Hankey's win over Mason.PT13 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 10:23 pmI doubt he was better than Priestley, Manley, Harrington or Burgess at that time.

BDO was probably at its strongest post-split between 2000 and 2004.PT13 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 7:02 pmBetter strength in depth in the field at that point, yes.
