Is Darren Appleton the best All-around player ?

[voiceofreason]

Appleton is disgustingly good, tied with Selby for best all around

If I had someone had to play a match for my life, he would be my fist pick

Darren has won Tournaments in almost every category! Is it fair to say that he may be the most well-rounded,and dangerous Player overall,in the majority of Games? He has won a variety of Killer-Fields,all over the World!

If he isnt he is sure kicking some major butt!

The correct answer is no

Well debated. I salute you sir!

Are you able to provide a list of those above him in the list along with your reasoned arguments?

There is a case for many players in many disciplines (even all of them) taken on their own - but the OP question was

"Is Darren Appleton the best All-around player ?"

The key points highlighted. "Is" as in present tense. Now. At the moment. This year(ish) and "all round"...

I just don't get the purpose of these "the best" threads. Can't we say Appleton is a great all-around player and leave it at that?

Everyone likes a good online fight - no one will actually change their own position in all likelihood..
