Who is the greatest pool player of all time ?

[Idonotbelieveit]

obvious Strickland
Busta
Reyes
Mosconi

American style play

I think though any top 5 snooker player great would destroy them overall it's been proven many times

But not other way no great pool player has owned at snooker

Pool though I think Strickland at his best he was unreal

Any top 24 professional Snooker player, given 6 or so months of adapting, would wipe the floor with any pool player on the planet.

Grew up with Eddie Charlton as the king but that was years ago, I was a kid and it was snooker.

Thought Americans played/called it 8 ball?

 

[Lord Commander Palis]

Ya it's Minnesota Fats and it's not even close.

 

[10000 Days]

No idea about pool, so I checked out Minnesota Fats.

It lead me to this site http://www.sportsmuntra.com/top-10-pool-players-of-all-time/

and it seemed like these people say Minnesota Fats ain't a great player at all. (comments section)

Mark Selby, the current World Snooker champ and the best player in the World, a Snooker pro since 2001 played pool as a hobby and won the World Pool Championship in 2006.

The difference in difficulty, tactics and precision is huge.

Which pool championship is that? Because the 2006 WPA World 9-ball Champion is Ronato Alcano.
