why is everyone wanting ko pin yi to play svb ? he already did and beat him and was playing bad, well least breaking bad, Love shaw but too immature and no chance to win. race to 100 alex beats svb everyone forgets about that.
svb top top player no question but still a lot to prove to the non americans. has a losing mosconi record and no title/s abroad. is not in the sam league as Appleton / hohmann example in terms of credentials
True. He hasn't won a major overseas yet. Hohmann was on the verge of quitting pool when he won his first WC.
But ask those guys if they like getting in the box and putting up their WC trophies against Shane in a race to 100 and I bet they both decline.
Not because they can't win but because they know full that they can lose.
Sometimes players just have dry spells where for whatever reason they can't get it all together in certain areas. Doesn't mean they are less of a player they just haven't broken the spell yet.
Shane is the undisputed king of the ring in the race to 100 format though. So even if he doesn't have the hardware collection that they do he has the cash.
