It depends on Tony's "mixture" and whether he spent the previous night with more than one hooker. FWIW, I wouldn't bet on anything Tony is involved in. He's the poster boy for what's wrong with pool.
I've seen both play and know both very well. If Tony watson is at the top of his game (1998-2003) Tony gets it for the cash.
Tomorrow..... sadly it's shawn. Tony hasnt been playing well lately he's even lost to Keith bennett, not to take away from Keith's game, but thats not supposed to happen.
Feel free to elaborate if you wish, but who wins a long race for the big cash:
Tony Watson or Shawn Putnam?
Edit: Just assume the match is not fixed.
Another edit: My spelling of the word "opinion" in the thread title was purely intentional.
i like shawn for two reasons...
1-if i bet on shawn, i get a horse that's trying
2- shawn made it to the finals of the us open...that is out of tony's range
...oinions make me cry
tony gets the money .....
Regardless of the mixture, Watson gets the cash. He has always been a great money player. Shawn doesn't have any gamble in him, he is a tournament player.
There is nothing wrong with being a tournament player or a gambler but they are two different animals and for big cash, I don't think Shawn could pull it off. Of course that is just my onion amongst many others.![]()
I think it is a matter of the game they are playing. If they play 9 ball, I think Shawn can hang and possibly take Tony off. Playing 10 ball, I believe Tony is the favorite.

How about now? No "ifs", "ands", or "buts"....who wins tomorrow?
Why do you think that is? The break? (I ask, because Shawn has a respectable break.)
On a different note, I wonder how Shawn's game would stand against, say, Mike Painter in full lip gallup?![]()
-Sean
I am a much bigger fan of Tonys game than Shawns,but if they played NOW
I am betting on Shawn
