Taylor has to be one surely since rout who claimed there was only 2 better 3 at the most, also said taylor was the difference between the codes.

so who are these other players?
it cannot be MVG since we were told he never won a game on the Lakeside stage.
who could it be ?
2 better players than Bunting at the moment:Lisa Ashton and Deta Hedman :)

Bunting when he won the BDO World Title was one of the top 5 players in the world without question.

Still a class player, young and has the ability

In fairness you can say that about most of the top players in either code.

The players who beat him in the qualifiers today, must be the two better ones.

Here's how the PDC rankings look like:

1. Mickey Mansell
2. Jamie Robinson (seriously never heard of him)
3. Stephen Bunting

I'm still waiting for the guy who said he was the third best player in the world to be named.

bump......."All this Top 16 talk is actually a bit of an insult to Bunting's current ability and future potential. There are only 2 players in the world definitely better than Bunting at this moment in time. 3 at a push. Top 16 is already a foregone conclusion."

Can't believe Dennis Priestley hasn't even qualified for this. Makes those that claimed he was the best player in the world look a bit silly now

Stephen "Peter Griffin" Bunting: 2014 BDO champion.

"Easy top 4 PDC" erm, he only beat Norris to win that trinket, and has now been dumped out of the PDC World Championship by a Webster who is not the one who won the BDO back in 2008 (whatever happened to him)

At least those two, have won at the Lakeside.

It is absolutely impossible to prove one way or the other.
So we are in agreement.

And your comparison to Ian White really doesn't need me to comment on it at all. The stupidity of it speaks for itself.
No, we are not in agreement. You think talking about Bunting as a top 16 PDC player is an 'insult'. I see it as a completely fair assessment of his ability at this stage. No doubt a couple of years ago you'd have been describing Mark Webster being labelled a top 16 PDC player as an 'insult'. The quality of the fields at Lakeside and the World Masters is not of sufficient quality or depth to form a competent judgement. And one pro tour win is woefully short. You were engaging in hyperbole based on not very much. As for Ian White - why is that stupid? It is quite easy to guage the standard at which someone performs consistently if you pay attention. Ian White, right now, is every bit as good a player as Bunting - the Lakeside and Masters wins in fairly sub standard fields are blinding you to the reality.
I've watched Bunting tear apart fields in opens that contain many top PDC (and other top BDO players). I don't need you to tell me about the respective qualities of the Lakeside fields versus masters fields to tell me how good the guy is. I think if you understand the game you can realise how good he is.

So I don't need to keep labouring the same point. If you think Ian White and Stephen Bunting are on a par, you carry on pal. Set a reminder, and in two years time, lets revisit this thread and see which of the two of us looks utterly ridiculous.
