MVG World Title count

Post by Lord Vader » Fri Jan 01, 2021 10:54 pm

Would MVG be disappointed in 'only' collecting three World titles so far considering his talent? I'd say yes.

Every year since 2015 at the very least (probably 2014 too, and possibly 2013?) he's turned up as favourite, I'm sure he thinks he should have at least 7 by now...

Definitely. I think he'll be aiming to get past 5 at least to overtake Bristow. (and headshaker's fake ones) Then again in todays field even the 3 titles are really impressive.
The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to seekers after it.

To be fair it's taken some exceptional performances to beat him

That's true but then again he should have won about 50 majors by now. Would be more interesting to see his odds in every year, if he's usually around evens he would have been expected to win 4-5.

Only one he will really beat himself up about after his first win is vs Robbie Dross. The others he ran smack bang into a brilliant performance. Will certianly feel a little unlucky.

Gando's a couple of days away from matching him, that'd hurt.

Gando, Whitlock, Suljovic, Wade. The last 3 were 2010-2012. To be fair if you look at his post-2012 record he hasn't really done a lot wrong.

Most definitely, I would reckon that he would have hoped to have won five by now

From 2013-2021, MVG has played in 9 Worlds. 3 times he won. The other 6 times it took a 100+ average to stop him.

2013 F (Taylor, 103.04)
2015 SF (Anderson, 102.2)
2016 L16 (Barney, 100.44)
2018 SF (Cross, 100.97)
2020 F (Wright, 102.79)
2021 QF (Chisnall, 107.34)
