When you hear the comment “16 time World Champion”, you know that Phil Taylor is the greatest darts player in history! He has also won 16 World Matchplay titles and a staggering 85 major titles! Those are incredible stats, and although MVG is an amazingly talented and exciting player, he has a very long way to go to match Phil’s achievements!
You must take into account the fact that the standards are far higher now than when Taylor was winning everything. There is too many players these days that could win a tournament so vmg will most likely never get near Taylor's title wins but vmg, when at his absolute best is at a different level to Taylor. Game dart averages prove mvg is the best to ever throw a dart
@@andyjames9734 The Power beat anyone and everyone in front of him over the course of three generations of darts. Including MVG, if you want to talk about head to head records. Btw, The Power was still winning things when MVG was on the scene. Also, way to completely disparage every dart player that came before MVG, as if they were nothing. You need to go and have a lie down pal.
You know what I really love about Taylor's darts? If you look at his eyes when he is throwing....every dart means something to him, even if he's way behind in a leg. He's not a rhythm player, he grinds each dart out which o think is harder to do if you're not a rhythm bang bang band merchant. He's just the best. He annoys me a bit sometimes but he is a phenom
I like how they talk about Taylors record against MVG... wondering how long it will stay positive. Well, after this match Taylor won 7 times, MVG won 6 times.

MVG needs to up his game again if he wants to be talked about in the same breath as Taylor. He is firmly placed in the Anderson, Wright, Price, Lewis, Part category. He has not really done enough to really elevate him self above those players.
@@cocacoola7166not true. He is the second best player after Taylor by what he has won. But he is not Taylor's level and really fell of the last few years.
This has nothing to do with the birth year. Taylor started professional Darts in the late 80s/early 90s at the age of around 30. van Gerwen was already a pro as a teenager and very spoiled when it comes to opportunities he got. Back in the 80s it was a lot harder to properly train and really concentrate on Darts. So to answer your question: I guess MVG will end up being an 8-time world champion.
@Kani Fuker Phil Taylor is the greatest of all time. No one was ever that consistent and dominant. MVG can never beat that. And YES, MVG was spoiled and pampered cause he got a lot of sponsors at a very young age whil Taylor was a working class man starting very late. And btw: Taylor had to pay back all the money he got from Bristow. So earned NOTHING for years. Taylor became a full time darts player (professional!!!) in the late 80s, like I said, and had a tougher way up. MVG became a pro in 2008 and needed 6 years to win his first world title while Taylor won it after just about 2 years after going pro. He dominated the sport for about 2,5 decades and turned darts into an mainstream attraction. Lowe, Reece and Jocky, with all due respect, didnt do that. They made it popular, but not even close to the extend that Phil Taylor has done it. The Power is the reason why MVG is a millionaire just like several other players today. PS: I didnt know that MVG wants to retire at the age of 35. So dont be an arrogant prick pretending to know a lot about this sport just because you allegedly played some tournaments decades ago. That just proves my point that he will never be as good as Taylor and might not even get past Bristow or Barney when it comes to world titles which is what really matters.
@@stevewood238 Yes it is. Phil Taylor has the better head to head record. Overall: 34 to 26 but let's look at MVG Prime and Taylor at the end... In their last past 3: 2 to 1 to Phil In their last past 10: 6 to 4 to Phil
He won more tournaments then Phil Taylor but people only count the world's it stupid because u put Phil Taylor in the era he win 3 maybe tournaments a year because the standard is so hight now if Phil Taylor average his highest 118 and MVG highest average 123 or even Pete Wright 121 would Phil Taylor win I don't think so
Hes the greatest because he realized if he dedicated his life to it while the others did it for a laugh and to get pissed he could totally dominate which he did until it truly turned professional and others took it seriously
Zo groot was het nou ook weer niet op zo''n korte format. Taylor zat er steeds dicht bij en kreeg in begin kansje maar pakte niet. Later wel en begon iets beter te spelen. Brak MVg terug op de 5-1 en hield daarna zijn eigen leg dan loop je er nog maar twee achter.
