MS: Who has the best head to head record of top players

[Yoppy]

- I'm going with H2H record and then overall accomplishment. LD over PSH. Btw, why bring up LD and PSH?
- I've given my power ranking list (who's no.2) in post #3 and pretty much concur with your list in post #6 (basically going with H2H record).

Im going to start a thread titled: "Is ctjcad a LD fan????"""

[pBmMalaysia]

i doubt he will agree as he claimed he is a neutralist

i doubt he will agree as he claimed he is a neutralist

But we can proof it in an objective matter, if he mind about being subjective

I just realised this is my 1000th post.......yuhuu...

[Yoppy]

Mr Choi?

Choi Ho Jin has a 100% record againts LD does it mean he top the list? yes, no, maybe??

[Yoppy]

Sorry to make you guys confused.

My question is simple, who's the 2nd best player now? It's a very subjective question. No reason needed. Just tell me from the bottom of your heart.

I'm not sure myself. That's the reason I did some h2h and title winning records research. I'm not talking about how to evaluate a player, not talking about overall history, not talking about Chen Hong or other retirees. I just want to know what do you think who's the 2nd best?

does BEST H2H = BEST??

For myself, I would say LCW's 2nd best before the WC, but now, I am not sure. Either Chen Jin or LCW should be the 2nd best. Other players are far falling behind. I also think LD is the best, not worth to argue. If you guys disagree, please list your order for the best players. There is no rule how to calculate, just personal opinion.

OK here's my list:
Rudy Hartono
Lin Dan
Taufik Hidayat
Liem Swie King
Yang Yang

Thanks for everyone's input. Please totally ignore the h2h stuff which I used to check how good they are myself.

I came to that conclusion weeks ago

Although bwf has the ranking, what I try to have is a personal power ranking; because I don't believe the bwf ranking and the real capabilities of the players are the same thing. Of course it's a personal ranking, therefore, everyone should come up with different list. Here is mine:

1. Lin Dan
2. Chen Jin or Lee CW
3. Bao CL, Taufik, Gade, Sony
4. Chen Long, Simon Santoso, Ponsana, Park SH
5. Shon WH, NTM, Tago, JOJ, Hafiz

How dare you putting PSH same place as BP????

It is already so obvious unless you wanna to officiate that title to him.

On someone mention that the Asian game shouldn't be more prestige than the SS events for whatever reasons he may state, then why on earth his idol LD main target for now is to win the AG2010 and devil may care for the SS? How irony is that? Or could it be for the first time I share a common thoughts with LD Go figure out.

As for his comparison on the Commonwealth Games with the Asian Games, the fact that both are held quadrennially is the only similarity and the parallelism ends there. Beside Malaysia, the rest of the badminton powerhouse such as China, Indonesia and Korea are missing. So would the competition level the same?

He knows that for sure but why the "....." comparison? Just for the sake to argue or could it be that common sense does not prevail anymore nowadays on certain level?

I already pointed that out on page 2

To answer freelast, in my list LCW is still current 2nd best. If by list of major tourneys won, Taufik would be 2nd best of current era

Im afraid he would not accept my offer , it would be great if he's OK cos its nothing to be ashamed of,................or is it??

I think its better to officiate it because lately we have the unofficial W#1 and unofficial W#2 which is why we are here in the first place. Lots of unofficials.

So why not to have an official .......... At least its official!

I checked the h2h for the top 10 (actually more than top 10). Even for top 10: (listed below)

LCW lost to LD, tied with Sony and Chen Long, won others.
CJ lost to LD and LCW, BCL, won others.

If we count winning record as 2 points, tie as 1 point, lossing as 0 points, maximum point is 18
LD = 18 points; won 9 against everyone
LCW = 14 points; won 6 tied 2 lost 1
CJ = 12 points; won 6 lost 3
BCL = 12 points; lost to LD, LCW, PG, won others
Taufik = 9 points lost to LD, LCW, CJ, BCL, tied with Chen Long, won PG, Simon, Sony, Nguyen
Sony = 8 points; lost to LD, CJ, BCL, TH, tie with SS, LCW, won PG, Chen Long, NTM
P Gade = 7 points; lost to LD, TH, LCW, CJ, Sony, tied with Chen Long, won BCL, SS, NTM
Chen Long = 5 points; lost to LD, CJ, BCL, Sony, tied with LCW, PG, TH, SS, NTM
Simon = 4 points; lost to LD, LCW, CJ, BCL, PG, TH, tied with Sony, Chen Long; won NTM
NTM = 1 points; only tied with Chen Long 0:0

great job
that shows that Nguyen isn't that good against top10 players but he even isn't the last one on WR.........

NTM is a very hardworking player... and a fighter... it is enough for him to beat those lower than top 10, but then still he has a bad record against every player in the top 10... but I reckon he can beat Chen Long or BP(used to be top 10)

Choi Ho Jin has a 100% record againts LD does it mean he top the list? yes, no, maybe??

I just checked the official site, CHJ vs LD is 0:0. Where did you come up with 100%? Did you count some unoffical matches? We cannot count all the matches as I mentioned before LD could have lost to Xie Xin Fang many times at home. You cannot count that.

Yes, it was an official game at the East Asian Games last year, not not-BWF sanctioned. Choi Ho Jin defeated Lin Dan to claim the gold medal in the individual event in straight games, with a score of 21-18; 21-19. But Lin Dan was definitely no where near his best, he was battling fatigue and tiredness and was basically dragged to a rubber game almost every match he played. It was a wonder that he still made the final. Since then, a rematch is almost impossible because Choi Ho Jin can never escape the qualifying rounds!

Anyway, you want to find out about SECOND best, so let's talk less about Lin Dan!

Hahaha, where have you been? I thought all BC members know about this.
CHJ beat LD during East Asian Games in Dec 2009 :

Of course East Asia Games is not BWF sanctioned, neither is SEA (South East Asia) Games or Asian Games

Thats the fact. Now you know not everything is on TS

I still suspect that TH must have played more againts the top players during 2002 - 2003, but as you can see on TS there is very little/no record about TH againts those player during those yrs

So whats the answer does Mr. Choi top the list?? Perhaps the answer will be the same if you look at MD, WS, WD and XD

BTW, does anyone know if Roger Federer has 100% H2H record againt top tennis players???

[freelast]

that's what i meant. Don't count the records even not counted by BWF. Those matches are either private, or limited locally, if counted, would be unfair to all the players. Let's just count the fair, open matches. I read LD even lost to some China local club players in local competitions. Aslo as some experts here mentioned, those players even do not have 2nd chance to play LD anymore, thus the statistics doesn't make any sense because it's not repeatable. Let's stick to the BWF offical records, then the world becomes much cleaner and easier.
