For those of you that may not know, even now Jeff Carter is in a much different class than the other four mentioned here, although I respect all their games. Jeff Carter was top 10-15 in the world in 9 Ball (ask Archer, Earl, Nick, more) in 80s/90s, a US Open One Pocket Champion (may have been a major 1 pocket event, not the Open?), has a run of over 200 balls or more in staight pool, numerous WS State championships, and more. He deserves the credit!

Like you said, 80s/90s. There's no questions that Jeff is still a great player, but he's not anywhere near where he used to be.
