Masters of Cue Sports

Bella Don't Cry said:
Not sure what your project is? Whether or not it is serious or just fun. But one thing is for sure, if it's a serious list then no American Pool player will feature in your top 3, surely?

The term; Master of Cue Sports will surely conclude that the players who are proven in ALL or as many of the cue sports disciplines in existence feature at the top?

For this reason and this reason alone PLEASE, can we all agree that Mr. Steve Davis OBE sit on top of this perch?

Here is a link to Willie Hoppe Wikipedia page - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willie_Hoppe - Will take 5 minutes to read
Here is a link to Davis' Wikipedia page - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Davis - Will require a full hour to digest

Say what? Earl is definitely up there...posibly Sigel too. And Steve Davis, while having a legendary Snooker career, has really nothing besides tha...so why on earth mention him in a point about being proven in *many* disciplines? Clearly all around ever is Efren Reyes...who is going to debate that?

Harold Worst was the best. If you are going with snooker, billiards,9-ball,one pocket, 8-balland straight pool. no contest on #1.all around players like Varner, SIEGEL,DALLAS WEST,ALLEN HOPKINS JIM REMPE THE MIZZ,LARRY HUBBART.SORRY EARL ISNT #1 ON ANY ALL TIME LIST.9 BALL BUDDY. ONE POCKET RONNIE. 14-1 THE MIZZ,ALL AROUND VARNER OR SIEGEL.

Unless you count the list of most World 9 Ball championships, or most US Opens. I'd say those are fairly significant.

I agree with what others have said - it seems an impossible task, and any list will be argued about. But if you are going to include cue sports other than pool (some of which are as old or significantly older than pool), and if you are going to take account of both skill and impact, then 3 that must be included are:

Raymond Cuelmans
Walter Lindrum
Joe Davis

The rest you can argue about!

If this is master of cue sports not one type of pool WORST is the best.

Any list will always have differences of opinion.
There have been a few names tossed in the ring that are worthy and any that I put forward might be backed by some and scoffed at by others.
I suggest you speak with some actual World Champions regarding their viewpoints and I can assure you of one thing.
Each should recognize that WALTER LINDRUM dominated his discipline more than any other man to ever hold a cue.
In fact to indicate the measure of his talent, he was more dominant than Michael Jordan, Kelly Slater, Tiger Woods and Babe Ruth combined.
Rules were changed because of his outstanding performances.
World Champion players of other disciplines prayed to their respective gods that he did not choose to change disciplines or even attempt exhibitions against them.

Yes. The man was that good.
