Ronnie O'Sullivan reckons snooker without ‘numpties' would revitalise the game.
O'Sullivan says he has often performed better in elite and exclusive tournaments featuring the best eight or 16 players in the world.
He has made disparaging comments about lower-ranked players over the years, twice calling them ‘numpties' — which brought criticism.
But O'Sullivan said: ‘Snooker was huge in the 1980s, and everyone bought into it.
And I think what you need now is the content to be stronger. Take boxing — you see matches made but you know who is going to win before it starts. If you get two fighters that are 50-50, you buy into it.
Ronnie O'Sullivan has once again called for the true elite within snooker to play each other more
The seven-time world snooker champion has been strident in his assessment of some of his fellow professionals' abilities in the past
This year's Worlds were won by Luca Brecel - with the Belgian providing an unlikely upset
‘And I think that is the same with snooker.
A lot of the time you have matches where maybe the top guy can lose, but invariably they don't.
'And when you watch the top tournaments with the top eight or the top 16 playing each other, there is nothing better than watching two great players slogging it out.
'It's a bit like watching Man City against Real Madrid last week — it was a fantastic game of football.
And then you watch AC Milan against Inter, and by comparison that was boring.'
‘Unbreakable' by Ronnie O'Sullivan is published by Orion Books at £22.
