Liz Johnson against the greats
« on: August 14, 2016, 07:54:55 PM »
In your opinion how does Liz Johnson stack up against let's say Earl Anthony, Dick Weber,  and other all time greats?

IMO she has to be at LEAST mentioned with the best, I understand the difference between the men's and women's game but she has been Dominant for a long period of time. She wins consistently and often makes it look easy.

@pinbuster She can only beat who she bowls against. So if there is a greatest man to bowl why can't she be mentioned as the greatest woman in the same breath?


But for the last 10+ years, in her prime, she has been able to compete on the PBA if she wanted to and she has competed in a lot of PBA events. I believe she has won one or more regional titles.

She is a very good bowler and a great woman bowler.

She can be compared to great women bowlers of past and present. I personally don't believe she measures up to some of the top women in the past but that is my opinion.

But I don't believe her overall talent can be compared to Earl, Dick, etc. and as Bob said comparing generations is nearly impossible.

But I believe the champions in the past would have figured out a way to win in today's environment. That is true on both the women and men's games.

I know one certain PBA pro who doesn't want to match up against her. In fact, he doesn't have a really good record against her, especially on TV. ;)
