At 82 I've been a pool fan for a long time. That fat guy's only accomplishment was being fat, knowing what a pool cue is, and jumping on a money train by convincing lots of suckers that he was Minnesota Fats. Putting him on that list is an insult to all the others. Many fans have a favorite that should be included; a couple of mine are Jimmy Caras and Machine gun Lou Butera. Lou ran balls in 21 minutes against Allen Hopkins I was lucky enough to see him before he was a pro play Mosconi in an afternoon exhibition in Harrisburg PA.
Lou ran 90 balls against the great champion. Thanks for the suggestions. We will definitely take your suggestions into consideration when we will update this list. S: No body-shaming, mate! Efren Reyes ranked number one is the only thing that you got right on your list. WC Fields was a better pool player, actor and comedian. You completely missed one of the great players of all time, Irving Crane.
You also failed to list all the great black players who were as good or better than the some of the players on your list. Fats has his lovers and haters, and he is dynamic. And, there are several reasons why we included him in this list. And, thanks for visiting our sports blog, mate! Your suggestions are always welcome. Keep visiting. Fats is in there because he was good for the game. Masconi was the best player all time by far.
The others on this list are all modern players, that's BS. You are exactly right. I have also watched Efren Reyes play many times. Mosconi was definitely better. No doubt about it. Also, Greenleaf played while drunk still great! Efren Reyes is the greatest of all time. Along with his many championships, he seemed to beat the best players in the world when the big purse was on the line.
Winning the color of money and the king of the hill events elevated him to legendary status? I agree putting Efren Bata Reyes no. He had beaten most of those "Hall of Famers" eg. Spigel, Strickland etc in the most humbling way followed by saying and smiling that he was only Lucky indeed!!!! I looked up Alfredo de Oro and the reason why he was not ranked here is because he did not play much in the popular and high-stakes games of pool 8-ball, 9-ball, ball, etc.
Unfortunately, that list was done in and needs to be updated. Reyes, of all horrors, was only ranked No. Again, that was before he rolled over the opposition to win the World 9-ball Championship in December of the same year.
He has been winning ever since and dominated world pool for the next decade. So the only logical explanation why Reyes was ranked so low there is because he is still creating his legend. Right now, he's the GOAT. Whatever anyone says, I always consider Efren Reyes to be the Tiger woods of billiards. Either He wins or loses he is still the best player there is in the world of billiards. If accomplishments and achievement is a concern.
Forget about the money he's the greatest player who ever lived. His kick shots ability is unmatched until today. He sees shots that no other players could. But the most amazing of all is his ability to control the ball and his cunnning ability to foresee in which part of the rail the mother ball would hit!! Even in the most trickiest and difficult situation he still has that incredible skills to hit the ball and escape with a safety shot.
His arsenal of shot making ability is second to none. There are a lot of great players out there but I havent seen any of them does what did this magician displayed on the table during his entire career. Presently, year He still possess that magical and amazing kickshots where audiences and opponents can only mesmerized in disbelief and admire his God given talent with respect. He is already quite old, past his prime but the greatness of his game can still be seen. Growing up in Manila, my high school buddies and I used to shoot our lousy game of pool in the nearby billiards and bowling joint.
One night we got there and all the pool tables were open except for one where a crowd of people were watching a game. Turns out people would rather watch then shoot pool because the phenom Efren 'Bata' Reyes was playing Rodolfo Luat, not a bad player in his own right. This was in the early 80s and Philippine billiard players hadn't broken into the international scene yet but Reyes et al were already known in local pool circles as wicked good though nobody yet realized that they were world-class good.
But he was already famous then having won the World Cup twice by the early 80s, so people showed him great respect and did not bother him as he worked on his game. Leave a Reply. To answer.
