Default Re: Past 4 WSOP Champions- respect the most?

[ QUOTE ]

Moneymaker and Varkonyi both won the Main Event against much smaller fields, and have done absolutely nothing of any consequence in WSOP events before or after their one victory.

We need five years to make an accurate judgment between the two, but as a tourney player Chris has had more well-known success since the ME, mostly Poker Superstars Invitational recently. Robert had that silly frostbite title and I don't know what else.
Minor list from Hendon Mob site

So I think the big gap is between Raymer-Hachem and Moneymaker-Varkonyi, not between Raymer and the other three. Obviously this is all subject to change in the next few years...large field tournament results have enormous variance.

I agree that we can't downgrade Joe, as we don't know his whole history.. I would still rank Greg at the top, barring further evidence in the future. However, I wouldn't be that happy to see Joe sit down on my left, either.

Since we here have a long history with Greg, we know more about his daily records than just these listings
