A comparison between Luke Littler and Phil Taylor ensures great discussions among two former darts players. A former competitor Taylors stands on his side.
Ex-Darts professional Chris Mason, also a former Darts professional, criticized Bobby George, also described this comparison as a “bullshit” for his comparison between Luke Littler and Phil Taylor.
“I love Bobby very much, but that’s just wrong,” said Mason, who added: “If Taylor were now playing against Littler, he (Little) would be slaughtered, that would be very embarrassing.”
Luke Littler is the youngest world champion ever
George had previously caused a sensation when he called “The Nuke” as a significantly better player.
“Phil Taylor was a great player, doesn’t get me wrong. But I don’t think he would have hit Luke Littler, not even in his best days,” said the 79-year-old at Talksport . George emphasized Littler’s scoring power and the quality of doubles.
“Just have to do a little research”
Mason countered: “When it comes to Taylor’s best time, it just is not true. He had tournament averages of 108 and 105.
Mason had to compete regularly against “The Power”, lost, among other things, the World Cup round of ultimately 2007. George had to “only research a little and dig in the statistics” to notice that the statement that Littler is superior to Taylor, “no opinion”.
For the 55 -year -old, the numbers can be compared: “Taylor still has average values - on inferior boards – which can measure themselves with the elite of the past eight years. That’s why it’s nonsense, I’m afraid.”
