Tell me who other than him, Ronnie and Hendry have these many world championships.

Hate these made up clickbait titles. The person clearly has no clue who Steve “Interesting” Davis is!! He’s a humble and respectful guy who btw would destroy Efren at Snooker.
Yeah, Steve is a humble guy and has nothing but respect for Efren. The fact that he isn’t a pool player, has beaten Efren at pool (a feat that’s incredible in itself) and has proven himself a multiple time world champion snooker player give the tone/title of the video a disingenuous, even disrespectful feeling. Why knock Steve? @ the uploader, How would you view a game of snooker between the two, with laughter inserts, as Efren couldn’t build multiple century breaks? Would it would also be in bad taste, showing a lack of respect?
Professional snooker sometimes beats a professional pool player but yet it never happens the other way around a pool player can never beat a snooker player in a snooker match ..💯🇯🇲🇬🇧👍
@Gray-zi5bp Totally agree but that's not an insult. I recently watched Ronnie O'Sullivan get get another 147 in snooker but I am certain a top pool player could try every day for 10 years or more and never do that. ( for Americans that's a Red then a black 15 times then all 6 colours in order in one visit on a table twice the size with smaller pockets and balls)

Two very different disciplines. Can't really say one is easier than the other. Pool balls are bigger and heavier. The strategies are different. Pool is by balls. Snooker is points based. But I still never saw a top pro pool player step out and compete with a top level snooker player in snooker.
pool is easy to play that doesnt require so much technical and depend so much on lucky, even vietnamese people just play pool for short time, very normal player vietnamese Dương Quốc Hoàng can win game again top pool player like shan van boening, or Ko pin yi, that will never happen in snooker, snooker is much more harder compare to pool, Pool is so easy to play and depend on lucky so much,

He’s great on a pool table but there’s a reason no professional pool player will play snooker. Steve also came back from 8-2 to beat him 8-9 in one year… Efren would never beat a top 100 player in a first to 9 in snooker.
17:40 It's not like "believe", buddy, it's a fact. And the fact that snooker players can easily play pool and even beat many players and reach the finals of tournaments, while not a single pool player can beat anyone playing snooker, confirms this. It's very funny to watch how people praise this amateur Efren, supposedly he is the greatest billiards genius of all time. There is nothing “magical” about him. When I played pool, I also periodically managed to score balls like the ones he scores. So what? Am I a magician now? No, I'm just an amateur pub player. Just like him. He doesn't do anything special. With such a size of the table and pockets, you can simply hit it harder and the ball will eventually fly into one of the pockets from 15 cushions. This is not magic, this is the theory of probability. I'm not saying that I can beat Efren in pool, not even close, especially considering that I haven't played pool for a long time because it's too easy for me, but in pool I can easily clear the table with one break if there's a good position, and in snooker it’s great luck if I manage to pot three balls in a row. Pool is just much easier, that's all. The difference between me and Efren in pool is hundreds of times less than the difference between me and Steve in snooker. As one commentator correctly noted, if these two playing snooker, Efren would have lost 0-9.
I bet my life that not only the great Steve Davis could beat the amateur Efren 9-0 at snooker, but also some average snooker player like Tom Ford, Matthew Selt, Joe Perry or Anthony McGill.
@@medved5925that is very true. No disrespect to pool players, but quite a few top class snooker players play pool very well, like Selby, but there just never seems to be a top class pool player who plays snooker well.
Steve is a good loser though. He didn't blame the cloth, the crowd or the que for the loss, like another player. Steve didn't accuse any spectator of blinding him with a photograph. Steve is alright.
While playing snooker,all of these factors play a huge role on your performance and especially the cloth.Pool for a snooker player is like a walk in the park
@@tsirogiannis2xExactly. This is why you may see some snooker players at pool tournaments, but never a pool player at a snooker tournament. For snooker players, it's like an outlet after a tough tournament, where they don't care about the result and can hit everything just for fun.
As an American that would rather watch snooker any day, I do appreciate pool and have a high respect for the ability of most pool players, Earl Strickland being the exception because he is an a$$hole. The games are very different but also similar. I enjoy watching these competitions but I have never found a video of the two disciplines on a snooker table. WHY? Does it ever go the other way or do they always meet on pool table?
@rickbackous1041 Unlikely . I'm sure pool players have tried but it would I'm sure make very poor tv. It's a shame but facts are a top snooker player makes a decent pool player but the reverse is just not true. Ronnie O'Sullivan has made at least 15 maximum breaks on tv and one at least in under 5 minutes. The top pool player could try to do that 10 hours a day for a year and never get close. That's not an insult it's just a very different game.
I like how these delusional brits compare pool and snooker and talk about no pool players are good in snooker. Frankly, snooker is a boring, unpopular and cheap table sport! Snooker is cheap, sad, but true! Now you know why a lot of snooker players transition to pool and very few to none the other way around. Common sense is free but it's very expensive for simpletons like the britons lol Comparison is not necessary here, but these lonely snooker fangirls are really thirsty for validation. So there you go, i hereby officially validate snooker as the cheapest and the most boring table sport of all time. Happy now guys? You're welcome!
Am I the only one who wishes the editor would stop with the math equations, game of thrones bits and goofy sound effects? It's distracting and takes away from the seriousness of the matches and the editing is always unfairly biased towards Efren which I think is a bit disrespectful to the competitors. Of course Efren is undoubtedly the best billiard player to ever live but all these players are phenomenal in their own right. I'd like to see any of us play any better against such an intimidating and genius player. Much love to everyone that genuinely loves this game! ❤️✌️😁
UA-cam is (also) aimed at the younger generation who would get drawn in by making a relative tame sport a bit less dry i guess? and to be honest i love watching snooker, but who commentates the match makes a huge impact on the enjoyment factor! So i guess parelell can be drawn ;)
I share the dislike of memes, which is why I only look at this channel occasionally when I'm in the mood for silly stuff. Other people seem to like it though. For what it's worth, the entire World Pool League final match of 2002 between Davis and Reyes is available on UA-cam. No memes included.
Davis beat Reyes in a race to 9 during the 2000 world pool championship. Davis also beat Ralph Souquet and Takahashi in races to 9 and 11 after that in the same tournament….But Efren beat O’Sullivan in a one game exhibition match somewhere when O’Sullivan was a teenager…lol
@@bernardomanto3076 Efren is the greatest all round pool player IMO but he got beat at his own game on the big stage by a snooker player playing position the wrong way. Can you help me find videos of a pool player beating a top snooker player at snooker in the world championship?

This umpire was a snooker and pool player, and for a long time a snooker umpire in england (14 years), she is the most renowed snooker referee, and she knows very well Steve Davis.
Well pool is different but Snooker players make top pool players where as pool players do not manage the same in snooker. But could in Billiards. Efren is the best pool ever especially 10 ball and 2 banking games.
I've watched snooker since I was a teenager in the 1970s, when it became popular with the 'Pot Black' TV show, which utilized a single frame (that's a rack, in pool terminology) format, making it more digestible for the home viewer. Speaking generally, John Pulman dominated snooker in the 1960s, Ray Reardon the 70s, Steve Davis started to make a name for himself in the late 70s before dominating the 80s, Stephen Hendry dominated the 90s, and I think it's fair to say that, although the world title has been spread around many players since 2000, Ronnie O'Sullivan has the numbers to show that he's the all time greatest. But I doubt that any of these guys could beat Efren at any version of pool. He's the King of the smaller size pool table, with more than 120 titles to his name. And he's one of my biggest sporting heroes. I suppose it helps that my wife was born in the Philippines !! :)
except he lost multible times to snooker players, now answer me this could he compete on a snooker table? He wouldn't win in british pool either where the balls and pockets are same size weight as snooker.
Davis nearly beat him with minimal practice. Same as Jimmy White and Alex Higgins beating pros at their first attempt. The pool pros would have zero chance beating them at snooker, its so much harder.
Never seen a pool player beat a pro snooker player at snooker, if this was snooker david would make sure reyes never got a shot. Plus the pockets are huge on these pool tables

Davis beat him 9-8 in a world championship match 🙄 ,Davis took 7 games in a row against efren to ko him😅 Btw he will never dominate snooker,that is the reason why he stayed away from it,please stop your dillusion
@@desmondgovender3142 I've met both of them along with pool and snooker champs at IB&HR expo in 1992 in singapore. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM acknowledged Efren's skills . Even Davis said at the conference if you give Efren "ONE WEEK" of snooker practice then it's over. That's how scary Efren's adaptability to the table is. These are all came from world champs by the way. But I understand if you're a Davis's/Snooker guy. I feel you. Really. 🤧
@MADMAN-bg3zj you expect me to take your word for it?..can u show me evidence of where Davis said this?,if not then please don't expect me to believe you just on your word.
The reason Efren is always cheerful is because he is born again 😇 Incidentally Steve not only played snooker. But many years ago used to play straight pool often playing against Steve Mizerak.

Primarily i grew up playing snooker but occasionally i play pool as well. With all due respect to pool players, the skills required to play snooker is way higher than pool. You see players like Steve, Jimmy, Judd, Ronnie play at a very high level in pool/9 ball but you will never see it the other way around. Just look at how Alison Fischer and how she is right up there in the nine ball/pool game with her snooker background. Honestly, trying not to offend anyone here, Efren or Strickland will not even rank top 20 in snooker at the height of their careers. I believe only one time I saw Reyes make a 50 break in snooker. These pool Legends will not beat any top 10 snooker player in even a best of 3.
You're logic is trash. What you fail to realize is that there are different people deigned or better suited to do different tasks. In this case Snooker and pool have similarities. You're saying the worlds best pool player ever, who dedicated his life to pool would not be good in a similar game (yes game) if he dedicated his life to that game? Please, be less delusional and make more sense. The type of people that are champions in their fields are champions for a reason, and not just because you say what you think you know. Nobody you named could touch Messi or Mbappé.. I mean there is a ball involved and a much bigger pocket right? The sports are similar now.
He’d probably do somewhat well considering the fact he won the Southeast Asia Games snooker event and went to semifinals. Maybe not enough to beat Davis, but he’d hang in there for sure.
You know what i hate the most, when a great pool player makes a great shot, there are some of those negative people who go" i bet he could never do that twice or ever again or that was pure luck" BUT when soccer players make impossible bycycle kick goals hitting the crossbar first and make the goal people go WOOW THATS A PLAYER, what the hell are u talking about he wluld enever ever do that again in his life , yes he could make another one similar cool goal but if you put him in that situation again he would miss it and never do it like he did the first time.
Pockets are like buckets it’s hard to miss let’s see him play on a tournament standard snooker table with ultra tight pockets not the ones you get in the average snooker club which are still way tighter than a American pool table, you have to be deadly accurate every shot.
A snooker player will always be able to compete in pool tournaments. A pool player however, would struggle against most snooker players. There’s more skill involved in snooker, the tables a great deal bigger, and the ability to position the cue ball over larger distances and build breaks wins the frame. Pool you can have a lucky break and it’s game over
The fact is these are very different games and as others have said you do not often see a pool player attempting snooker. So where as a top snooker player will be a reasonably good pool player a top pool player playing snooker will not get anywhere near winning.I This top pool player is exceptional for certain but to try to belittle the snooker champion is hardly fair unless the pool champion could do equally well in snooker as the snooker player did in pool. The very fact they do not try to play snooker in return is because it would likely be embarrassing. Saying that a not an insult just very different games and this guy is a genius pool player.
If only there were more videos of pool players playing snooker. Although, maybe that’s testament to them not being arrogant enough to think they’d be able to beat the champions of a completely different game.
Snooker Player Thinks He's Good Eh! Are you kidding me? This is Steve Davis! He's one of my heroes. And Efren is also by the way (on a billiard table). This was just a great match. You win some you lose some. I just think the headline of this video is very disrespectful.
I saw many videos with similar one sided perception. Yes, I totally agree that Efron is GOAT, but he is a goat in pool, I haven't seen a single video of him playing snooker... snooker is way more complex game than pool..
What? How about playing the World 9-Ball Championship match where Davis beat Efren. Guys, Efren could never beat Steve Davis in snooker and yet Davis has beaten Efren in 9-ball.
No comparison between pool and snooker, snooker is sooo much harder to play, for a start the table is twice the size and the pockets half the size. At 1.38 what how the ball comes off the cushion and still drops in, the margin for error is massive and the pockets are like buckets. Try the same shot on a snooker table, you have to be millimetre perfect for the ball to drop, you will never see pool players competing at the top tier of snooker, they'd look second rate! There is a reason davis at 44 was retired and Efren 47 was still playing, pool is an easier game, requiring a lot less concentration and not as much drive to practice for hours on end like with snooker.

This is not magic, this is the theory of probability. I'm not saying that I can beat Efren in pool, not even close, especially considering that I haven't played pool for a long time because it's too easy for me, but in pool I can easily clear the table with one break if there's a good position, and in snooker it’s great luck if I manage to pot three balls in a row. Pool is just much easier, that's all. The difference between me and Efren in pool is hundreds of times less than the difference between me and Steve in snooker. As one commentator correctly noted, if these two playing snooker, Efren would have lost 0-9.
Your spot there a video on UA-cam showing Efren trying to play snooker he hasn't got a CLUE.
I shoot and live in Hong Kong but would love to shoot in the Philippines 🇵🇭
Outstanding to say the least. I really believe they were playing
If they play race to 9 in snooker i bet my life that the score is 9 - 0
I bet my life that not only the great Steve Davis could beat the amateur Efren 9-0 at snooker, but also some average snooker player like Tom Ford, Matthew Selt, Joe Perry or Anthony McGill.
RIP you.
@@medved5925that is very true. No disrespect to pool players, but quite a few top class snooker players play pool very well, like Selby, but there just never seems to be a top class pool player who plays snooker well.
Let's see a pool player play a match on the snooker table
? Steve plays pool , he’s not just a snooker player . Watch Steve David pool playing
Love this guy peace be upon him
Steve is a good loser though. He didn't blame the cloth, the crowd or the que for the loss, like another player. Steve didn't accuse any spectator of blinding him with a photograph. Steve is alright.
Exactly ✌️
While playing snooker,all of these factors play a huge role on your performance and especially the cloth.Pool for a snooker player is like a walk in the park
@@tsirogiannis2xExactly. This is why you may see some snooker players at pool tournaments, but never a pool player at a snooker tournament. For snooker players, it's like an outlet after a tough tournament, where they don't care about the result and can hit everything just for fun.
Yea but put Efren on a Snooker table and he wouldn’t have a chance, Davis even to day would wipe the floor with him
Let them play snooker , only one winner , the GREAT Steve Davis .
As an American that would rather watch snooker any day, I do appreciate pool and have a high respect for the ability of most pool players, Earl Strickland being the exception because he is an a$$hole. The games are very different but also similar. I enjoy watching these competitions but I have never found a video of the two disciplines on a snooker table. WHY? Does it ever go the other way or do they always meet on pool table?
Pool players do not play on a snooker table because it is too big for them and the pockets are much smaller than on a pool table.
@rickbackous1041
Unlikely . I'm sure pool players have tried but it would I'm sure make very poor tv. It's a shame but facts are a top snooker player makes a decent pool player but the reverse is just not true.
Ronnie O'Sullivan has made at least 15 maximum breaks on tv and one at least in under 5 minutes. The top pool player could try to do that 10 hours a day for a year and never get close.
That's not an insult it's just a very different game.
I like how these delusional brits compare pool and snooker and talk about no pool players are good in snooker. Frankly, snooker is a boring, unpopular and cheap table sport! Snooker is cheap, sad, but true! Now you know why a lot of snooker players transition to pool and very few to none the other way around. Common sense is free but it's very expensive for simpletons like the britons lol
Comparison is not necessary here, but these lonely snooker fangirls are really thirsty for validation. So there you go, i hereby officially validate snooker as the cheapest and the most boring table sport of all time. Happy now guys? You're welcome!
Steve Davis is a exceptional pool player! World class!!
Am I the only one who wishes the editor would stop with the math equations, game of thrones bits and goofy sound effects? It's distracting and takes away from the seriousness of the matches and the editing is always unfairly biased towards Efren which I think is a bit disrespectful to the competitors. Of course Efren is undoubtedly the best billiard player to ever live but all these players are phenomenal in their own right. I'd like to see any of us play any better against such an intimidating and genius player. Much love to everyone that genuinely loves this game! ❤️✌️😁
UA-cam is (also) aimed at the younger generation who would get drawn in by making a relative tame sport a bit less dry i guess? and to be honest i love watching snooker, but who commentates the match makes a huge impact on the enjoyment factor! So i guess parelell can be drawn ;)
I share the dislike of memes, which is why I only look at this channel occasionally when I'm in the mood for silly stuff. Other people seem to like it though. For what it's worth, the entire World Pool League final match of 2002 between Davis and Reyes is available on UA-cam. No memes included.
No such thing as safety shots against the Magician Efren GOAT
every country has their own player but if efren is in the final with any country..fans choose either players..because efren is all over the world
Davis beat Reyes in a race to 9 during the 2000 world pool championship. Davis also beat Ralph Souquet and Takahashi in races to 9 and 11 after that in the same tournament….But Efren beat O’Sullivan in a one game exhibition match somewhere when O’Sullivan was a teenager…lol
….and Davis got beat by Efren a year after
@@bernardomanto3076 Efren is the greatest all round pool player IMO but he got beat at his own game on the big stage by a snooker player playing position the wrong way. Can you help me find videos of a pool player beating a top snooker player at snooker in the world championship?
You can be competitive in Snooker if your cue action is that of a Pool player

Pool is so much easier to be reasonably good at. Snooker is bloody hard to even be crap at.
snooker is repetitive , its easier
@delayedcreator4783 Says somebody that has never played Snooker.
@@ianpodmore9666 "pool is easier" says the world pool champion
this shouldnt come as a surprise but editing is getting better and funnier!
The way the umpire admired efren @ 17:09 !
This umpire was a snooker and pool player, and for a long time a snooker umpire in england (14 years), she is the most renowed snooker referee, and she knows very well Steve Davis.
Well pool is different but Snooker players make top pool players where as pool players do not manage the same in snooker. But could in Billiards. Efren is the best pool ever especially 10 ball and 2 banking games.
Editor on fire 🔥🔥
I've watched snooker since I was a teenager in the 1970s, when it became popular with the 'Pot Black' TV show, which utilized a single frame (that's a rack, in pool terminology) format, making it more digestible for the home viewer. Speaking generally, John Pulman dominated snooker in the 1960s, Ray Reardon the 70s, Steve Davis started to make a name for himself in the late 70s before dominating the 80s, Stephen Hendry dominated the 90s, and I think it's fair to say that, although the world title has been spread around many players since 2000, Ronnie O'Sullivan has the numbers to show that he's the all time greatest. But I doubt that any of these guys could beat Efren at any version of pool. He's the King of the smaller size pool table, with more than 120 titles to his name. And he's one of my biggest sporting heroes. I suppose it helps that my wife was born in the Philippines !! :)
except he lost multible times to snooker players, now answer me this could he compete on a snooker table? He wouldn't win in british pool either where the balls and pockets are same size weight as snooker.
Why not change the title???? Steve is well respected at snooker.
Definitely eferen is best pool player. 😍👍👍👍
Let's see efren on a snooker table 😂
Davis nearly beat him with minimal practice. Same as Jimmy White and Alex Higgins beating pros at their first attempt. The pool pros would have zero chance beating them at snooker, its so much harder.
Strickland, Davis and Reyes are entertaining to watch.
Never seen a pool player beat a pro snooker player at snooker, if this was snooker david would make sure reyes never got a shot. Plus the pockets are huge on these pool tables

There is nobody in the world that I would rather watch than efren reyes.
Snooker or Pool, Reyes will dominate it.
Just like Jordan will dominate Basketball and Netball anytime.
Davis beat him 9-8 in a world championship match 🙄 ,Davis took 7 games in a row against efren to ko him😅
Btw he will never dominate snooker,that is the reason why he stayed away from it,please stop your dillusion
@@desmondgovender3142 I've met both of them along with pool and snooker champs at IB&HR expo in 1992 in singapore. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM acknowledged Efren's skills . Even Davis said at the conference if you give Efren "ONE WEEK" of snooker practice then it's over. That's how scary Efren's adaptability to the table is. These are all came from world champs by the way. But I understand if you're a Davis's/Snooker guy. I feel you. Really. 🤧
@MADMAN-bg3zj you expect me to take your word for it?..can u show me evidence of where Davis said this?,if not then please don't expect me to believe you just on your word.
Pool to Snooker is like checkers to chess. Nonetheless, one needs to perfect their play in each game to be the best at it.
Exactly. It's much easier to get into checkers from chess but still takes time to master it.
Hence why Davis won the following year, and no pool player is doing the reverse 😂😂😂
The reason Efren is always cheerful is because he is born again 😇
Incidentally Steve not only played snooker. But many years ago used to play straight pool often playing against Steve Mizerak.
It would have been interesting to see Reyes play Davis in snooker.
Interesting in what way? I guess if you wanted to see Reyes lose every single frame then it might be interesting!
@truthsayerq7264 efren can't hit a ball more than 6 foot 😅😅😅
Can a mini golf Master win against a golf pro at Augusta ??? There you go....😮

What I like about your video is your putting a line from a movie that I find it very funny! Keep going bro. 👍👍👍👏👏👏
Show the one where davis came back and won 9-8 then show me when rayes beat Davis at snooker? Davis can win at both rayes can't
One of the most respected man on the table 👏🏼
That was a genuine handshake 🤝 at the end. Good game
I wanna see efren take on snooker.
and EFREN REYES ; how did he get on playing Steve at Snooker ?
Are there any videos of Reyes playing Davis at snooker?
Would like to see them both on a snooker table😂
Efren can't play snooker.
Oooh, kinky
Primarily i grew up playing snooker but occasionally i play pool as well. With all due respect to pool players, the skills required to play snooker is way higher than pool. You see players like Steve, Jimmy, Judd, Ronnie play at a very high level in pool/9 ball but you will never see it the other way around. Just look at how Alison Fischer and how she is right up there in the nine ball/pool game with her snooker background. Honestly, trying not to offend anyone here, Efren or Strickland will not even rank top 20 in snooker at the height of their careers. I believe only one time I saw Reyes make a 50 break in snooker. These pool Legends will not beat any top 10 snooker player in even a best of 3.
You're logic is trash. What you fail to realize is that there are different people deigned or better suited to do different tasks. In this case Snooker and pool have similarities. You're saying the worlds best pool player ever, who dedicated his life to pool would not be good in a similar game (yes game) if he dedicated his life to that game? Please, be less delusional and make more sense. The type of people that are champions in their fields are champions for a reason, and not just because you say what you think you know. Nobody you named could touch Messi or Mbappé.. I mean there is a ball involved and a much bigger pocket right? The sports are similar now.
No offence but what if this god of Pool had a match of snooker with steve davis
Ronnie is noted to have tweeted that Efren was the only guy to out-hustle him on a snooker table
@@josephgrady2129 Yep, when Ronnie was about 16 years old on holiday and giving Efren 25 points start.
Davis whatever number the match was to, Reyes 0.
He’d probably do somewhat well considering the fact he won the Southeast Asia Games snooker event and went to semifinals. Maybe not enough to beat Davis, but he’d hang in there for sure.
Still no match
Lance Armstrong vs Efren Reyes
Loved this match. Both champion players. Very well done.
My favorite pool and snooker player at one table.
Efran is a real magician... Started watching pool after watching efran d GOAT .... D smiling assassin
Davis beat him the following year. 😂😂😂
Love all pool games, but snooker is the king of them all hands down.
There is no luck in snooker, just pure skill.
Davis wasn’t the best break builder but he did ok, be interesting to see how Efrain did against him in a snooker best of 17 though..9-0 maybe..😂
Exactly my point. Earl or Efren would go 5-0 against Davis in a Snooker match.
You know what i hate the most, when a great pool player makes a great shot, there are some of those negative people who go" i bet he could never do that twice or ever again or that was pure luck" BUT when soccer players make impossible bycycle kick goals hitting the crossbar first and make the goal people go WOOW THATS A PLAYER, what the hell are u talking about he wluld enever ever do that again in his life , yes he could make another one similar cool goal but if you put him in that situation again he would miss it and never do it like he did the first time.
Pool is mostly mental when it comes down to pride and victory along with skill and a little luck.
Snooker is more beautiful than pool by a long shot
Pockets are like buckets it’s hard to miss let’s see him play on a tournament standard snooker table with ultra tight pockets not the ones you get in the average snooker club which are still way tighter than a American pool table, you have to be deadly accurate every shot.
Let's see the Pool Player play Snooker.
A snooker player will always be able to
compete in pool tournaments. A pool player however, would struggle against most snooker players. There’s more skill involved in snooker, the tables a great deal bigger, and the ability to position the cue ball over larger distances and build breaks wins the frame. Pool you can have a lucky break and it’s game over
When the pool legend can outplay the snooker player on a snooker table, get back to me.
Until then, it's no contest.
Maybe it's just me, but I find those interspersed reaction clips very annoying. I can not watch this.
Here's a new take on it. Lets see them play pool with the same rules , but on a snooker TABLE with tournament cut pockets. Who would win then?
The fact is these are very different games and as others have said you do not often see a pool player attempting snooker. So where as a top snooker player will be a reasonably good pool player a top pool player playing snooker will not get anywhere near winning.I
This top pool player is exceptional for certain but to try to belittle the snooker champion is hardly fair unless the pool champion could do equally well in snooker as the snooker player did in pool.
The very fact they do not try to play snooker in return is because it would likely be embarrassing.
Saying that a not an insult just very different games and this guy is a genius pool player.
Snooker players do alot better at pool than pool players would do at snooker
How many weeks had Steve been playing pool would efren play Steve at snooker and win a game
Snooker is a thinking man's game. Pool is for drunk people to play at a bar.
At which point did Steve say he could outplay Efren?... pointless, pathetic headline!
🐐
If only there were more videos of pool players playing snooker. Although, maybe that’s testament to them not being arrogant enough to think they’d be able to beat the champions of a completely different game.
It's not arrogance to branch off and play multiple diferent formats of a similar game.
Nice video good editing 👍
Snooker Player Thinks He's Good Eh! Are you kidding me? This is Steve Davis! He's one of my heroes. And Efren is also by the way (on a billiard table). This was just a great match. You win some you lose some. I just think the headline of this video is very disrespectful.
heyyyyyy... I saw Fransisco Bustamante watching the game....
I saw many videos with similar one sided perception. Yes, I totally agree that Efron is GOAT, but he is a goat in pool, I haven't seen a single video of him playing snooker... snooker is way more complex game than pool..
What? How about playing the World 9-Ball Championship match where Davis beat Efren. Guys, Efren could never beat Steve Davis in snooker and yet Davis has beaten Efren in 9-ball.
Would like to see this the other way around if any pool player could beat any snooker player at snooker I would be amazed
would be nice to just see the clips without all the reaction crap..
No comparison between pool and snooker, snooker is sooo much harder to play, for a start the table is twice the size and the pockets half the size.
At 1.38 what how the ball comes off the cushion and still drops in, the margin for error is massive and the pockets are like buckets.
Try the same shot on a snooker table, you have to be millimetre perfect for the ball to drop, you will never see pool players competing at the top tier of snooker, they'd look second rate!
There is a reason davis at 44 was retired and Efren 47 was still playing, pool is an easier game, requiring a lot less concentration and not as much drive to practice for hours on end like with snooker.
Young Michaela is the most beautiful woman. And being mature she is still the most beautiful
