John Higgins completely disagrees with the assertion of fellow great Mark Williams that the standards in snooker has declined in recent times.
Higgins and Williams share seven world titles between them - but more remarkably both still reside in the top six of the world rankings three decades after graduating as professionals. The legendary duo and world champion Ronnie O'Sullivan make up snooker's fabled 'Class of 92' triumvirate, but all share vastly different views on the current outlook of the sport.
At present, 'Belgian Bullet' Luca Brecel and Chinese duo Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao are the only players inside the coveted top 16 under the age of 30. The lack of fresh emerging talent has fuelled debate over the quality of snooker now compared to when Higgins, Williams and O'Sullivan all first broke onto the scene in the 1990's.
