    I'm convinced Maguire might well have gone on to win the World Championship in 2005 had he closed out this match. With Higgins not yet back to his best, Hendry fading quickly, Hunter sadly battling cancer and the next generation of Selby, Robertson, Ding etc. yet to properly emerge or consolidate themselves as frequent winners, it was a glorious opportunity that year. Maguire had looked the real deal in the 2004-05 season, making the British Open final, winning the UK and hammering a then very dominant O'Sullivan in both of them. Maguire admitted that this match sapped all his discipline and will for the rest of 2005 and it took him 2 or 3 years to really recover. Problem was, by then Selby, Robertson and Ding were in the upper echelons, Higgins and O'Sullivan were virtually passing the world title between them each year and those kind of chances just weren't as frequent anymore (even then, he let Higgins off the hook badly in the 2007 semi finals). Such a talent; really should have a few more trophies to show for it and, in my opinion, should probably have had a Crucible triumph in 2005 or 2006.

      You are probably right but you can’t look at things this way. Same way Ronnie could have had 8 world titles by now but he only has 5. Snooker frames get so close sometimes. There are plenty of matches won at black ball. It’s just what it is. This way by this analogy every snooker player are underachievers. I have a list long as hell. From jimmy white to Ali carter or Michael holt or any other.

      You’re giving him more credit than he really deserves , he gets described as an underachiever because he won the UK in 2004 as a 23 year old but the only serious opponent he beat in that tournament was O’Sullivan , David Gray Mark King Steve Davis Mark Davis and Stephen Lee were the others , its like he was the party pooper in a designated O’Sullivan festival and has been a bit overrated ever since .

      Ding since then reached the wc final in 2016 won the 2011 masters the uk in 2009 and 2019
      When to maguire he won the 2013 welsh open and the last week tour championship

    Obviously i knew the outcome of this match, but looking at just the final few frames, its incredible how strong Ronnie was mentally, and the level of discipline he had at the final frame for example. Not attempting that risky pink which was covered ever so slightly by a red, and instead went up for a baulk color ball, and got down again, and went up again, and so on. Its so nervebreaking to go up for the blue to build a break every single time, even the best players tend to mess it up after the 3rd or 4th attempt, but Ronnie kept himself amazingly intact while building that break with the baulks.
    I was aware of his strugglings against Ebdon in the last 16, and now after watching this vid, i have no idea how he could collapse against him so badly.

      Good observation. In fact, it's impossible that Maguire has been in the top 16. Only data of the start-end of the seasons is available. So, I chose #3 (end) instead of #24 (start), because the WSC is played at the end. But you're right, I should not have put #3. Now I wonder how his ranking rose from, say 17 to 3 by winning one qualifying and then losing in round 1.
