The best natural talents I've seen are Alex Higgins, Jimmy White, Ronnie O'Sullivan, Stephen Hendry and Mark Williams.
From that bunch no one can tell me that anyone is better than Stephen Hendry. The main thing about Hendry in the 90s which stands out for me is that he never missed a ball. Obviously "never" is a slight overstatement but not by much. There was a time when if his opponent left him a chance of a pot - ANY chance - you could be pretty much guaranteed that it meant frame over there and then. This is where Willie Thorne gets his "frame winning chance" with all 15 reds on the table from!
