I don't think so. Today we have a number of spectacular players like Trump and Robertson. If anything, I think Trump is more obviously spectacular than Ronnie ever was, and for that reason, perhaps a bigger magnet on the wider audience than Ronnie.
Lets not deny it. HE made snooker what it is today. With his breakthrough fast paced style he brought snooker to a bigger audience and made snooker prime TV material. The absolute GOAT.
No he didn't, check your facts...Alex Higgins made snooker what it is today and brought it to TV. If it wasn't for Alex Higgins we wouldn't be watching the likes or Ronnie, Jimmy White or Judd Trump and many other great players too.
Ronnie is the only undisputed GOAT athlete that nobody seems to truly hate. He's dominant in the sport and is undeniably talented, he's basically made modern snooker what it is today, yet despite that he's incredibly humble, respectful to his peers and self-depicating. Ultimate example of an overdog that everyone still roots for.
These were good, not all shots you see too often:D Could have included some of jis 147 shots - lefthanded deep screw for pink, or freeing the pink&red from an almost straight black
@@mikehunt1066Now it is. The uploader has since edited the clip. Before, you could clearly hear Dennis Taylor saying "No, Surely" in his distinctive Irish accent, and then Alan Mcmanus agrees with him
Love watching ROS. However, the last two decades have been the best because no one person has dominated the game like Hendry did in the 90s or Davis in the 80s. We are lucky there have been so many good players who on their day can all beat each other e.g. John Higgins, Mark Williams, Selby, Trump, et al.
It’s still in a better place than pool. Pool had its great stars. It was on ESPN, people wanted to see it, and then nothing. No one in the audience, only few great talents, and the money disappeared. Snooker still pays well from what I’ve heard. Better than pool here in the U.S. at least. I’ve always said pool in the U.S. needs a facelift. Ten foot tables with four inch pockets, less 9ball, harder games of discipline, no more jump cues, and better promotion. It comes in surges. After the Hustler can out it gained notoriety, then faded, then the trash bin Color of Money came out, and everyone started talking about and playing it. Hopefully something soon will spark it again. Then again I miss the dark smoke filled pool halls I grew up with. We had one down town that was open late. Always had action. They had gold crowns with one ten footer. One had pockets that were three and a half inches triple shims. Those were the pool halls to be in. Now it’s all a clean cut image. O well. Wish I had access to a Riley snooker table around here. I’ll shut up now.
@@330devans 1st prize for 9-ball world championship is US$60 000 . First prize for snooker world championship is GB£500 000. As far as I know, EVERY snooker ranking event has a 1st prize higher than pool’s WC.
7:28: I wonder if that shot would be legal if the ref thought he jumped the white on purpose in order to not go into the pack? You can't jump in snooker in order to avoid hitting balls?
I think the only player that was a yang to Ronnie's ying and would've been the real challenger for titles is the late great Paul Hunter, may he rest in peace 🙏🏼
If ronnie retires today 90% snooker fans will disappear😂
Totally agree
Absolutely right 😢
😂😂😂 no way bro i saw the full video i played a few shots of what he played. Chill 😅

Trump is the goat

Within our lifetimes we will never see a player as good as Ronnie. Absolute wizardry.
If the price is right.
Trump
- Does he play snooker?
- No, he is the snooker itself.
The greatest of my generation, of any generation. The benchmark in break building
Is it me or does Mark Selby always look like he's going to burst into tears after Ronnie pots one of his specials?
UA-cam should keep the narrator voice in a different layer so we can easily mute him and the fun will be 1000 times better
the AI generated voice is ruining a decent video
Yes. @@fredsmith1970
I have never seen another player like him. Loved many, but he will always be the GOAT for me.
🚀 forever

Thats already added in his Top 22 Genius Moments on a channel...plz visit
Top Tip: When editing, cut after the commentator has finished his sentence!
Also, when writing, find other words for “shocking”. Not everything is shocking, except for how lame that AI voice is.
Great, Great, Great player love this man .I think he is the best player in the world 😅
The GREATEST of ALL time. Brave, personal, human ( and a friend of ours ). In your own tine Big R x
The clip at 7:07 you say that the commentator that says "No surely" is John, but it is actually Dennis Taylor. Otherwise amazing video, thanks!
Oh my bad...sorry🙂
It's Alan macmanus not Dennis Taylor

Love u ronnieee
Absolutely brilliant
Ronnie, el mago del Snooker, insuperable. Él es un artista maravilloso. Gracias por el video.
GOAT
It will be better if there's no preview, makes the thrill gone,
❤❤❤

Was the video commentary written by AI lol. "appending into..."
Just a pure genius
Ronnie has passed the God level
that is why he is called the ROCKET
Well somehow he got to disturb the yellow and brown.Well somehow he got to fluke the yellow. 😂
If you wouldn't explain where was the shot and just leave the live commentary it would have been so much better
My toxic trait is expecting that even I can play all these shots in my 1st snooker frame 😂
spectacular ronnie ;)
If I was playing this chap, seeing shots like that I would be saying 'fair one!. I'm taking me snooker bat and going home!'. 🤣 Nuff said.
I mean those shots are ridiculous & no other snooker player comes even close
48 year old and still destroying opponents🎉🎉😮
Well, it's not exactly an athlete's sport is it? 😅
Good skills shot..free palestians Aamiin..🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🏆🏆🏆💘
Too many ads! Unwatchable 😢
Is that constant grunting sound throughout the whole video the transition sound being cut?
😭😭 When he leaves the game, who are we going to watch 😭😭
good
火箭～真是一位超乎常人的傳奇人物。
前無古人-後無來者
Is it 47 or 50?? These things matter!
47 tbh
Could have been a good video, but to much dodging back and forth
Can someone else get really good a snooker it’s not gna be the same when Ronnie retires
Snooker is in the gutter these days. When this legend leaves nobody will give a crap about this sport. No stars whatsoever.

@@jeffwilson7100 yeah, that’s for sure! Much higher prize money.
The important thing is ALL comments is good grammar and spelling
*have. You lose
I feel bad on his 48th that didn't make it
shocks john (dennis taylor) but close enough
😊
How
7:28: I wonder if that shot would be legal if the ref thought he jumped the white on purpose in order to not go into the pack? You can't jump in snooker in order to avoid hitting balls?
No...its only illegal if you are jumping the cue before hitting the object ball because some other ball is blocking its way otherwise its fine..
@@rocketsnooker147: Ah, I see. Thanks for answering my question. :)
Get rid of the narration. No need for it. Super annoying.
Não dava uma ficha com Baianinho de Mauá 😂
I dunno man, I've made about 70% of these shots multiple times
Go challenge Ronnie than instead of commenting here
😅
