I would have loved to have seen a prime Duchess of Doom against some of the top female talents today. What coulda been...
prime 1p efren vs fedor.
mike sigel or buddy vs filler in 9-ball
mike sigel or buddy vs filler in 9-ball
Don't crush my dreams Freddy
He put the killer instinct on Earl in a long race, Shane has the killer instinct....this was my thoughts on this matchup.
Long race, my two of my favorites, game changing players

Assuming that today's crop are all at the peak performance of their careers:
Reyes vs Rags Fitzpatrick at one pocket
Pagulayan vs Allen at one pocket
Sigel vs Filler at 9ball
Strickland vs Filler at 9ball
Mizerak vs Mosconi at 14.1
Mizerak vs Hohmann at 14.1
Sigel vs Hohmann at 14.1
Varner vs Gorst at bank pool
Brumback vs Gorst at bank pool
Taylor vs Brumback at bank pool
Deuel vs Vernon Elliot at bar table 8ball
Van Boening vs Matlock at bar table 8ball
Woodward vs Matlock at bar table 8ball
Van Boening vs Hall at bar table 9ball
I left 10ball out but I don't feel anyone from the golden age of pool played it at a level anywhere near the likes of SVB, Kaci and a couple of others.

others bank so well now. maybe as good as tayor did. but he did two things no one did. played great position off of his banks when those banks most only cinched. and he made the very toughest ones no one could shoot. still in his prime he would spot anyone in banks.
brumback wouldnt have a chance at all. he misses too much and chokes under pressure.

Would anyone touch Earl on a 10 footer in his prime?
probably not. earl is still in stroke btw, he still shoots eerily accurate shots. on tight tables too. the consistency isn't there though (along with the break, safety game or general sanity)
Filler, Gorst, ShaneWould anyone touch Earl on a 10 footer in his prime?
I remember Earl beating Shane somewhere, later in Earls career. Even Shane commented, " probably no one beats him on a 10' table."
Fedor had a 10' at home
