Don't know about that Dan, perhaps the rest play and a bit more cue power.
Well, I mean talent wise certain shots, especially the spin shot. I didn't mean overall he is greater than Higgins or Williams or O'Sullivan etc. He just didn't have the bottle or commitment and that's a shame in some ways. He did have an immense natural talent. Not Ronnie's or Alex's :P But a lot.
He did, but the bottle was missing, especially ion 1992, and 1994, in his biography on the telly the other week he said that he wasn't bothered at losing to Steve Davis in 1984 as he would win it eventually ! Shocking attiude of a young Jimmy ! Thats why he is in the second bracket of players. The top bracket includes Hendry, Davis, Higgins ( j) and Ronnie .
One statistic I wish Ronnie had achieved is to hold all 3 majors at the same time.
2001 World and UK
2004 World and 2005 Masters
2007 Masters and UK
2007 UK and 2008 Worlds
2013 Worlds and 2014 Masters
But never all 3 as far as I can remember.
