Is Darren Appleton the best All-around player ?
- Thread starter LeftyIke
- Start date
Dennis 2014 DCC banks division 1st, , 14.1 1st, master of table. Past 2 US Open 1p champ, beat Darren in last all-around TAR challenge, 8b world title. DCC 9b 1st, etc...
Shane and Alex also can make similiar claims.
Yep, trying to suggest that Darren is the best all around player is stretching it a bit imo
Is it?
When you look at his success across basically all American pool disciplines, and then add in his recent achievements in Chinese 8 ball, and then take into account his pretty valid claim as the best English 8 ball player of all time, I don't see it as a stretch at all.
He also plays one-pocket several balls better than SJD ever did too
You have a really good point. What's he got to do, win a major 3 Cushion Championships? He also plays one-pocket several balls better than SJD ever did too.

An internet debate five pages longer because for every single poster is right.
Imposssible to won and impossible to lose debating - an internet masterclass.
PS - he is the best!

That was the rape charge, but there were two other cases of him beating up women.. Acquitted or not, no smoke without fire. He came across as a ***** when he was playing snooker as well.
I knew him when he was an E8B player. With out a doubt the very best player at the game (at the time)
they ALL throw matches over in the uk, lol, he was seriously scapegoated
John Higgins gets caught redhanded at the bookies plus on video with frickin russian gangsters discussing match fixing and he gets a wrist slap, lmfao
not sure about the practice comment, I think he practices more than most pool guys
efren has a snooker title too, dont forget.
uhhh no, you're wrong, he does not
he played some "asian games" snooker for phillipines and was selected
he's nowhere near the top in snooker nor carom nor anything outside pool
he claims he beat a young Ronnie o sullivan with a 25 point per frame spot
he might be the best ever, but again, pool only
Yeah, flicking the bird at the crowd and opponent during match, wanting to fight them after he lost... The guy was a grade A douchebag
he is a douche, lol a fun one though with balls too unlike most
my point is ALOT of them guys are, trust me on that, Ronnie is 10x the douche, 100x actually
Higgins is a complete twit
Ebdon is a complete dick
move from the top 10 to the lower parts of the top 100 and you have all kinds of ****ery
don't let the tuxedos fool ya,lol
three gentleman worth mentioning though, Steve Davis, Hendry, and Neil Robertson
Appleton himself has been called a douche by many in the uk
I'm rooting for him and Alex P in the pacman tourney, if they match up this thread could prove ironic

What is a douche?
Hahaha!! Yeah, that would be quality!!
8 Ball
You forgot 8 Ball...Appleton's best game by his own admission. You have to factor that in before Banks.

Ok, Darren is better at 8-ball, and Alex is better at banks. So, who's better at bumper pool?
Well, he just won a world title at 8 ball and best part of $100,000 at the same time.
Assuming bumper pool is up there with that, I guess it can be included - and both should probably be included above niche fringe games like 1 pocket and banks
Appleton is disgustingly good, tied with Selby for best all around
