That's an interesting way to think about the GOAT. "Who (in their prime) would you have trusted the most to make a tough match-winning shot if your life depended on it?"

I’m not real happy about moving Nicky back to fifth...one of my favorite people....
...and possibly the only player from the Western Hemisphere that beat Efren in his
prime in a race to 50 in his home country.

And because these are popularity contests, Dallas West doesn’t make the list....
...he played all pool games at top level, and nobody on the list, including Efren, was going
to beat him on a carom table.

I applaud your vote. People keep using points on efren who is like a hundred in the lead and in no way going below first. We need more love for the lower listees
