Who is the Greatest Female Pocket Billiard Player in History?
- Thread starter CJ Wiley
- Start date
Yes, that was it. Thanks for the infol I had seen that match when it aired but had forgotten the details.
If Ga Young, Jasmin or Allison played in all the mens events for 2 years, they would have wins vs the top guys. Liz Ford already has a win over Earl, Jennie Lee (not Jeanette)has a win vs Ernesto-Jennifer over Robles and Sossei.
Allison has a 9-0 over Ginky-Im sure there are tons more im forgetting or not aware of. It's 9 Ball.

Anything is possible in a single set (short set that is)
No girl in history Jean included could be competitive against any of the top male players gambling or in long sets like the TAR matches races to 27.
In races to 27 IMHO most sets would be something like 27-9 or maybe 27-15 at most against anyone of these guys in their prime.
Efren, Strickland, Sigel, Hall, Varner, Parica, SVB, Dennis O., Cory D. etc.............

I vote for Allison Fisher although there are many up and coming Chinese women who play just as good or even better
Never said a single thing to the contrary.
Has to be Allison Fisher no questions asked. Certainly the best all round cueist as she used to be a very good snooker player. A very good role model for the game as well. She is pools answer to Trina Gulliver (9x world darts champion).
Obviously Jean Balukas was before mine and most of our time so you would probably have to say Allison was the best of her time and Jean the best of hers...and the debate of who would win if they both played in their prime is futile and impossible..like comparing whos the better running back..Brown..OJ..Campbell..Sanders..Dickerson..Payton..Emmitt...impossible to say.
Where is at large with the facts when we need them?
Fact is that Karen Corr won two Joss Tour events and Allison won one SE Tour event.
Kelly Fisher won 69 snooker matches in a row before turning to pool.
Karen Corr won all 8 WPBA stops in a row against tougher players than Jean faced one season.
Allison dominated the WPBA against tougher players than Jean faced.
Jean was clearly a super strong player but in no way is she stronger than the best players of today. Anything Jean did against the men in tournaments coukd have also been achieved by the best women players of today. In fact we have many stories of tournament match victories where top women have beaten top men in the past ten years.
I doubt anyone will ever surpass Allison's records. The fields are simply too strong now. Jean was a well trained tough player who outclassed the field in her day. Now the field is way better than Jean's day.
All at their prime it's Fisher

I've played several of the top Ladies Players in practice and played the Battle of the Sexes on ESPN. One strength that pool has is male and female's can compete on a level playing field.
There has been many great Female Players, but WHO WAS THE BEST? And do you think they could beat the top Male players of today?
Actually, I think Corr has now won 4 times on the Joss Tour. Most memorable for me was watching her beat Jim Rempe twice in the finals for her first Joss win 10 years ago in Connecticut. She had also beaten Larry Lisciotti earlier that day.
