If every US Open winner was in there prime playing there best who would come out on top. Lets say they do a round robin 9 ball tourney race to 15 winners breaks and no soft breaks. I guess what I'm trying to figure out is who everyone else views as the #1 US Open champ of all time. Alot of people including myself haven't seen alot of the champs play while they were in top form and I just would like to hear from some people who've witnessed all the top players in there prime.
 
Just my opinion...

EARL STICKLAND!! No question. When he was in gear, there was no shot that wasn't on. He would take shots on that others would play safe on, and he would come out smelling like roses.
 
The only one who won 5 times. Earl of course! Not that there weren't a lot of great players in these ranks, hell they're all great players (past US Open winners) but when Earl was in high gear, IMHO no one played 9-ball better. I'd pick Efren as best all around player, ever, though!
