I respect the opinions of those who say that he might struggle.
Playing against Strickland, Archer, Reyes, etc. In the bright lights would be stressful for anyone; but at least he Knows he's capable of making that cue ball dance. If I had that kind of sick cue ball control, you'd see me in Vegas.
I also agree he is on top of the world now, so why risk it? Just one big tournament win would prove a point though......
He would have 0 chance in the ring with "any" pro in actual game play.
Like I said before, I've played him more than once and he cant get there with me if we play even so, nope, he has zero chance as a player in the pro ranks.
I have my doubts that he could even "compete" at the amateur champion level.
The very first time I played him I would have put him around a "B-" to "B" speed as a "player". As an artistic player, well, "pro" speed for sure"
The last time I played him, I would have put him "as a player", well, around "B+" to "A-" speed. Yes, he did play much better the last time I played him but, he still couldn't "get there".
Look, what your asking is the same thing as:
Hey, that race car is "fast". I wonder if it would be a good car to drive on a long trip? Short answer: NOPE.
