Thanks for that. I love reading these types of stories.

It is funny how things go, but, sometimes you feel very fortunate to have been in the right place at the right time. Some memories are just very precious.

I think David is a great champion on any table, but I will have to disagree about him never losing. I seen Jose Parica beat Dave on the bar box circa 1997 or 98. It was 15 ahead no less

I just talked to David he said he only played Parica one time and that was a 10 ahead set in Nashville,and he beat Parica.He wishes ya'll would stop making up stories about him.
 
I heard that Chuck Norris beat David Matlock in a 20 ahead set on the barbox, in 10 minutes. He broke and made the 9 on the break twenty times in a row.

it was actually 19 in a row, on the twentieth break he made the 3 and his shot on the one was so powerful it went 27 rails pocketing the other balls in order

I can't believe you dare say Chuck Norris would ever break and not make the 9. You obviously don't know anything about Chuck. I was once standing around Chuck and Jesus when Jesus broke and made all 15 in order playing rotation. One of the other guys there said, "Jesus, what a break." Jesus said, "You should see Chuck break."

Roosterman, I don't want to cause any friction or anything, but the facts are the facts. David beat me down there in Dallas at Sonny Springer's home. Will Willingham and Weldon Rogers was with me. We blowed about 20-some thousand. We came back to Oklahoma City and played again, a rematch, and I got some of the money back. I believe it as 15 or 16,000.

Then we were over there in Richmond, Kentucky, at the Clyde Childress tournament. We did play one little 5-ahead set. LATER, the next night, Dave and I played a 10-ahead set for $5,000. Big Dean from Atlanta was staking me in this one. That session lasted about an hour, me winning the money.

I have all the respect in the world for his game, and I can actually say that I would call David Matlock my friend. David in my opinion, when he gets rolling, is probably the best bar table player that I've seen when it comes to gears. He had those gears. That's what separates a good player and a player extraordinaire.

Matlock just told me your stories are mixed up,ya only played twice once in Fort Worth Texas.It was 8 ahead sets guaranty 3 sets,David win the first one,you won the second one,and David win the next three.He thinks it was for around 10,000 maybe a little more.

The other time was a little 5 ahead set for a 1,000 and you won that.

The second time was a l
 
It seems that the problem with these type of threads is there really isn't anything to "hang your hat" on when it comes to who is great and who is greater and who is the greatest. There is no Super Bowl of pool where we can all sit around and state that guy was really damn good.

- You have a group of professional men's players who can't keep any consistency of a pro league going.
- You have different size tables.
- You have non-US tournaments that claim "world title" such as the Qatar tournament going on right now.
- You have a lot of good US players who never attend, can't afford, or are not invited to those world tourneys.
- You have a bunch of no name killer players who aren't publicly exposed. Not sure about here in the states, but the Philliphines and Taipei would be good examples.

At least the WPBA has their act together. There's no discounting in making a statement that Allison Fisher is one of the best women players ever, if not the best.

For that matter, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Canada all seem to have their act together for a ranking system of the players.

Based on threads I have read over time, I think it would be a very small percentage of posters that think Dave Matlock is not one of the best barbox players. I don't know Dave and haven't seen him play, but his reputation spread by word of mouth let me know he is one of the best. I think the "best" is too bold of a statement until the men can organize some type of US/world ranking system that can stay established for years, such as golf.

I have highlighted the posts below that Keith has written on this forum about Dave Matlock.

2003 Question by Instroke: Keith, everyone hears about David Matlock being the best big ball bartable player. Did you two ever lock horns and if so who came out on top?

Response by McCready: We played a couple of times, and it went back and forth, but David never got to play me at my best. And when David was in his prime, he was definitely a bar table specialist...ce

Why do you think saying your the best is to bold of a statement,are saying no ones the best at anything.

Being the best at pool is much more subjective then being the best at golf or other sports. Show me a list of David's accomplishments againt all the other best players in the world and then maybe we can call him THE best. Until then he is ONE of The best.

You come on here spouting that he is the best of everyone and has never lost a big money match except for one that was avenged. What about all the other matches. Those don't count? Matlock is a great player no one is disputing that but all this stuff is coming from you (his mouthpiece) not him directly. JMHO.

Response by McCready: We played a couple times. I beat him, he beat me. Dave is a very good bar table player, one of the better ones that I ran across. We played 10-ahead both sets. He won one, and I won one.

Here's another lie on this quote Kieth say's they only played twice.Him winning one and losing one.
 
Roosterman...Give it a rest! You can no more prove that David Matlock has never lost, than we can prove that he has. MOST of the top players have lived in drug or alcohol induced hazes for much of their lives. I would doubt that ANY of these players can remember accurately what happened 20 years ago.:rolleyes:

On this one he say's he played him 4 times,and beating David 3 out of the 4 times so which is,or are both of them incorrect.Stop the lies!
 
I don't think the money matches prove much either unless he was playing straight up. Taking into consideration money matches where a spot was provided tells me the player wasn't the same caliber as Dave. While money matches may show a player's caliber for turning on another gear, I think tournaments are the true test where you play multiple opponents straight up. And even then, you had better win a lot of tournaments if you want to be the best, i.e. Tiger Woods or Roger Federer.

Do really think a race to nine in a Tournament tells who the best player is.
