In 774 matches, Phil Taylor’s lifetime average is 101.28 That is insane
Incredible Stat, do you know what mvgs is?
@@anthonym3351 it wasnt that yesterday thats for sure.
@@stephenwilby1179
@@stephenwilby1179 just begging to turn a discussion into an argument
@@anthonym3351 Taylor beats MVG 12-7 for best televised average of 114+. Top 10 tournament winning averages, Taylor beats MVG 6-4 while taking 1st & 2nd spot.
MVG is talking about Taylor the man, not Taylor the player. We all know he's not the best guy in the world
Taylor has a far superior head to head record to mvg despite the fact they're rivalry came at end of Taylors career, taylor won all matches at world championship and peak taylor of 09 to 11 had a higher average than mvg from 15 to 17. Not to mention that van gerwen is 13 world titles behind taylor
Taylor will always be the goat but if they played each other both at best, it goes with whoever has the throw.
Absolutely spot on this 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@Kevwebster135 thanksn
That average thing is due to less tournaments during phils time
@@xatar1237 taylor was hitting over 100 averages regularly by the late 90s, the averages haven't been improved upon
MVG choking up saying he was partly the reason Phil retired, clearly a huge amount of respect there.
It is ridiculous. Taylor was almost 60 when he retired from the PDC, so It had nothing to do with Taylor being scared of MvG. MvG was in the PDC for a few yesrs before Tsylor retired, and MvG seems to forget that Taylor still won 3 or 4 PDC world titles when both were in the same field. Tsylor was old and MvG was young.
@@dvidclapperton He didnt say anything about Taylor being scared. In the last few years of his career Taylor openly admitted to not training as much as he used to and I think that showed in some of his performances and he probably didnt want to do the amount of training required to keep up with people like MVG anymore and he probably didnt want to be a mid fielder so called it a day.
Phil Taylor had the greatest belief in himself. His nerve was rock solid. I’d be watching his games freaking out under the pressure of the intense moments. When he was winning he was ruthless and when he was behind he was angry but calm. The way he stacked his darts gave him an advantage over everyone which he was happy to take over and over again. No one could match his consistency long term without stacking the darts in the same way.
it not 3 dart average it was his doubles
Under pressure ? His opposition was really poor back then. Great player but he wouldn't win that much with the oppostion these days.
@@c64flashI'm bored of this argument now. You simply don't know darts.
@@c64flash poor.? Rvb 5 time world champion, priestly, 2 time world champ, part ,3 time world champ, Lewis 2 time world champ, Anderson 2 time world champ. And so on, they are poor are they.?
Personally i think taylor is the greatest player of all time his consistency was just unmatched he could just maintain levels only other players dreamed of. Van gerwen has the ability to take a game away in 15 minutes with bursts, but factor in the dedication of taylor to stay at the top for 30 years almost he was relentless in darts was his life in which van gerwen is now finding tough to maintain after 10/11 years at the top. They are both unbelievable player but taylors consistency and longevity should put at the top that's without mentioning 16 world titles and 16 matchplays the sheer desire to be and maintain being the best for so long is incredible
For sure. Just stacking those darts on top of each other in and around the treble 20 (and treble 19 here and there) all day long. They just keep announcing 100, 140 on a sub par day. He's had a few comebacks after he seemed like he was gone for a few months or so as well.
Taylor's consistency vs MvG's magic...
Michael says it in a great way...Phil's the Greatest, Michael's the best.
@@Danman1974mvg is neither
@@Danman1974 i think sums it up alot in short
I think they're both incredible. I really can't choose between those 2. I'm pretty sure Phil and Michael would play for spot 1 and 2 if they started at the same age in this era.
Records wise, it's no contest.
I've still got an early 2000's newspaper article somewhere explaining the methods to Phil Taylor's great success. This was to stack the darts vertically, one on top of the other, inside the centre of the treble twenty. All very neat and tidy, also printed with a matching diagram to illustrate how it's done!
You can't coach how the darts land in the board, that's all down to his throwing action and angle of trajectory
look at his darts they went in straight still today many are at angel
@@TheAnderson0701Alot to do is with the set up of his darts.

I really like Michael but I find it weird how he seems to think he retired him, he was old, it is part of life lol.
MVG took Taylor's invincibility away. Yes, age also played a part but with prime MVG on the scene Taylor became human and with that vulnerable. Others suddenly realized they also stood a chance against him.
@@theliesisire7485 I think prime MVG played against Taylor at the tail end of his career. I really don’t think MVG had anything to do with his retirement.
@samclenaghan2008 agreed taylor had won more in 1 year than most dart players win in thier life. the disrespect he gets for liking to talk about himself is wild......hes achieved so much hes earned that right.
@@theliesisire7485 he made the worlds final his last year at the age of 52 I think, let’s see mvg do that! He struggles now, what’s he gonna look like in 20 Years for crying out loud 😂
You clearly heard what you wanted to hear. I interpreted this as him saying he rattled Phil in his early years, which he certainly did. He also goes on to the say Phil is the GOAT, took Michael 0.1 second to answer that one. There is no drama here
Watching Phil Taylor growing up was incredible, it seemed like Barney was the only one who could ever get somewhat close to beating him but he truly dominated his era. I will always respect him for that. I can't help but think he did have some unnecessary arrogance in his personality though, having heard similar words from a few people now inc MVG & Wayne Mardle who both come across as decent blokes.
Personally I always found taylor to be very complimentary of other players while mvg seems very derogatory to other players, Taylor took every player seriously
Crediting himself with being the reason Taylor retired is a bit rich. Taylor retired because he was getting older and his results were starting to slip. It would have happened at a similar time with or without Van Gerwen imo
In a footballing analogy Taylor is Liverpool and Gerwen is Blackpool.x
Greatest darts 🎯 podcast interview of all time this one 🤣 Well done boys 👏
I hate when folks say ‘Phil’s competition wasn’t so good’ doesn’t matter, his averages in tournaments and finals was exceptional
Maybe the chasing pack are better nowadays, but the elite level has never improved upon Taylors standards
It wasn’t that his competition wasn’t good. It was that Phil Taylor was simply the fucking best.
@@Larakinerd these top players today are great but phils averages etc are above them
Like darters from now are superhumans . Not even talking about less tournaments , material etc.
Makes it a lot easier to win championships when everyone else is much worse

We're not talking about Phil Taylor personality, should be judging his ability and that's undisputed greatest darts player of all time.
THEY are talking about both regarding an event and MvG clearly says Phil Taylor is the best of all time. Are you deaf?

So what
@@gavincassidy3276 Stop talking like Thanos.
Have you seen the video of mvg running from Thornton?
@@MrSimonsonLifts No what happened ?
Cannot believe these comments. I see it with all sports, the moment a Legend retires they were no good and the competition was poor. Taylor was literally the most dominant sports star ever. He was the standard. MVG also never met Taylor in his prime, luckily for MVG
this sounds like sour grapes from van gerwin
Lucky he never met him after a darts show in a motor home …
fucking sports star HAHA give owa man, dominant darts player yea? id agree, dont be calling darts players sports man, the average weight of them is higher than their average scoring in kg WHAT THE FUCK lol
Lads, the sound quality! How long have you been doing these episodes now?
Nice, honest interview from M.V.G. there. Others would do well to learn from this.
Last time they played in a major, taylor smashed him
His last game was the world final and he won a major that year.
Not only a major but a matchplay and along the way beat price, Barney mvg, Lewis and wright
@@MrSimonsonLifts Beat MVG 16-6 in that world matchplay. They talk about Taylor like he was some sort of relic that couldnt keep up. When he was still winning big ones right up until he decided to quit. Sure he wasnt as dominant, but he definately proved that the "new age players" werent better than him. MVGs ego is probably bigger than Taylors, if thats even possible.
Taylor was an utter bellend, but my word he was a special, special darts player. The greatest testament to his greatness is this - he only had a losing record in the PDC to one player. It was Rob Cross, who he played in his last ever game in the PDC, in the World Championship Final.
the only thing that beat Phil Taylor was old age
Van gerwin sounds like one of those kidnappers in Hollywood films who sends a disguised voice ransom demand!!
Funniest ever comment on KZhead. Brilliant! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
MvG was amazing until he became successful. Taylor was amazing for 30yrs. Different levels.

He was amazing when it wasn't competitive

Fitness? 😂 it's darts not rugby
@leedavies1475 Travelling all over the world at 50s then play.Try it yourself as you seem to know it all😂
@@Chugmeister666 didn't Andy Fordham win a world title. Fitness doesn't come into darts surely.
@@leedavies1475 fitness comes into every sports event even darts and snooker. a fit body helps keep the brain/mind sharper.an unfit body tires the mind
@leedavies1475 No, he means if you keep yourself fit like Luke Humphries you can play longer and better. Being overweight effects the knees when applying pressure on one leg when throwing. And drinking alcohol most nights effects the eye sight eventually.
There are some great players around at the moment, but Phil Taylor on his A game would beat the lot of them.
phil taylor 30 plus years of extremely high standard, not mentioning 16 world titles, and still playing the incredibly high standard into his 50's. MVG playing no where near his best now in his 30's. A bit like steve davis and stephen hendry in snooker played awesome upto their mid 30's then dropped off, but ronnie o' sullivan on the other hand still playing incredibly high standard coming upto 50 years old. Phil taylor and ronnie o'sullivan are the exceptions in their sports.
I would disagree with him saying he made Phil retire early. I think he lengthened it 2 or 3 years due to their rivalry
Sounds like a Dutch Frank Bruno to be fair "he he he Harry"
the thing today in most sports is that all players on any day can beat anyone , sure a few stand out a tad more but over all i think the caliber of all players now will prevent anyone one player dominating a long time , as their all capable ..time will tell but littler looks set to do major damage a long time , time will tell
phil is the greatest of all time. but has here ever be a season like that of MVG in 2017? i never seen anyone throwing that good in 1 year.
Ehhh despite mvg lost 16-6 to Phil in Matchplay in blackpool, and lost semis to rob cross at the worlds he might have been good. Just not in the tournaments that counts as the biggest 😂
@@HowIsThat69 he was talking about the 2016 season
@@nicokern7615 He defo said 2017 lol
@@kinggamer523 yes He wrongly said 2017, probably because the 2016 season finished with the 2017 world championship

You could probably add everyone else's championships together and Phil Taylor still has more. There's absolutely no comparison.
Is there a full episode of this ?
MVG is good but lets face it Phil concentrated solely on darts whilst MVG made several "Shrek" movies on the side.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 yeah spot on
Funny thing. . .if Phil was sitting with them there, I don't think Shrek would be so loose with his words.
Yeah that 5ft sex offender sure is intimidating 😂
Nobody takes Phil serious 😂
i can't think of anyone who stayed at the top of his game in any sport for as long as phil did, and even at the end of his career when on the decline was still often heads above most others. MVG is my fav player atm, but he's still a long way to go to achieve what phil did.
Brilliant as ever
I love that micheal does not care about what other people think. He says what he wants, almost no one does that these days.
💯
his performance this year was poor
@ChrisThornburn-ke5xk Poor? Do you watch darts? He won the Premier league- the US Darts Masters- Players Championship-Belgian Darts Open- and the world series finals. Why poor? Because he didn't win the worlds, For any other pro dart player this is an amazing year.
@@chrisphallheatlover9848 and in world championship he hit 3 doubles out of twenty poor
I agree with mvg Taylor is the greatest mvg is maybe the best. One thing I've just thought is often in darts players will rise or drop to their opponent, for Phil to keep that level against 'blokes from the pub'was so impressive and to see him in the game now at his peak would be great to see and I think he would be on par with all the top4 on the game rn
Wrong
@@soup8786 interesting argument
@tonka869me Phil was better as well. Better peak years avg, better head to head. Just better, as the wires got thinner and he changed to small fat barrel during the unicorn years he was better than mvg has ever been. He is the reason avgs went up. They had to to stand a chance. Now littler has a chance to be the best he is already world class at 16. 17 year old mvg couldn't do this in the pdc. He was good but not like this in front of crowds, but we will see.
@@soup8786he would still be on par with the best, he would probably still win lots, but nowhere near the same amount of titles
Taylor said that himself. He said no one willb ever take his record, as the overall level is greater now.
Michael is one of the best ever but there is only one Phil 'the Powe'r Taylor. The greatest ever by far and I can't see anybody ever being that good again
First thing i do is have a piss 😂 MVG doesn't care one bit does he. I would love to meet the guy. He's a top bloke
In Taylor his days,almost nobody could throw 95+ averages,look at the level these days..
Everyone could throw 95+ averages back then easy
Where do you get that weird idea from. Try to look in the statistics.
Completely inaccurate
it was common in pdc averages to be over 100 you must be getting mixed up with bdo
No doubt the players of today if they were in Taylors era he would not have won as many world championships, but that is true of all records. Players get better and so does the competition.

I have never heard MVG talk until now and he needs subtitles to follow him around in life
He’s got braces in, or maybe a retainer, which is making it harder to understand!
Taylor has 16 world titles. Enough said.
And he is a convicted sex offender
I love all the comments saying that Phil had no competition, unless you were there/saw a lot of it close up, you can’t appreciate rolling up at top competitions with fantastic professional players performing at high level only to have someone incredible completely outclass them , hence the decades of the ‘powers’ fear factor playing at unbelievable levels. MVG had that for about 4- 5 years but it is no more and will likely not be again because he just hasn’t sustained the levels, he himself achieved . In PT I watched an incredible performer for 20 + years winning everything, bringing crowds & pubs to standstill to watch his incredible feats, ruining people before the game had started ( I played, won Against and spoke to the world no 2 at the time on this and he was lost for an explanation as he worked just as hard). Don't forget what PT HAS achieved just because time has passed. PTPT would kick everyone’s butt just the same in this era if he was the same age. MVG seems bitter because he knows he cannot achieve the same if he had 10 lifetimes and cannot dominate against his hard working peers. Sometimes you just have to admit when someone truly great and superior at their chosen profession comes along.
not sustained his level is not true. after his fall in 2020 he continued to have the highest season average of all players. (exept 2023) his level BARELY sank. its just that all other players got better and better
5:34 that reaction LMAO
give taylor his due look at his blackpool record over 100 average last time he played there every game
I really like MVG but he is not on the same level as Phil Taylor, just look at Phil’s record, no one has come anywhere near it. Just one example Phil Taylor achieved two 9 darters in one game that is insane.
18 PERFECT DARTS AND THE MATCH AGANST CROSS WITH A 9 AND 2 170'S TAYLOR GOT NOWHERE CLOSE.
@@user-pt3pb5rp8ryou think these players are better than prime ando, Lewis, Barney, Wade and mvg himself, I don’t

Time will tell ! I played 3 weeks ago with a guy that Chris Dobey could never beat ? He said he would beat him now cos he's got on telly n has more experience and he is younger!! Before Dobey advanced, he could never beat him tho Taylor was the best since Bristow etc
I haven’t watched the full podcast so idk whether it’s like this the whole time but it’s a bit weird watching a great darts player of recent years and two podcasters talking down on the best player of all time😂
"Is phil taylor resentful of your career?" Absolutely not 😂
Did he he say that though? He just said Talyor should have retired earlier and didn't handle losing too well and in the end this showed . And that's the truth simply.
@@celticfc1916incredible he made the worlds final his last year playing on tour, clearly the goat.
@TheRockisaBondMovie Didn't say he is not the goat. I agree with the records, but like what MVG said, he should have retired before losing his edge, and I also think he had a nasty side when it came to sportsmanship to others . If he needed to do this out of motivation, who knows but wasn't a good look .
Wow the lack of respect for the goat,Taylor took the game to another level,this guy will never match him,prime taylor batters him.

Phil Taylor once stole my swimming shorts! True story!
As a darts player there is no doubt Phil is the greatest for the longevity and success. Not just worlds but the number of Matchplays, Grand Prix and Open amongst everything else will never be rivalled. I get the argument he had the likes of manley, painter etc on toast and yes he would win no where near as much but he would still have won more than the rest including MVG if starting in the same era. He only started to wane in the later years and even then still made finals etc and won so it's unquestioned. MVG may have set a standard for 3 year but the power would have found a way and he may not have won as much either its not all one way.
Taylor is the guvnor. 16 times world champ, 2 9 darters in one match. Going 2 years without losing a match, beating rvb, priestly, mvg, ect, no one will ever match his record, and the match against Lewis at the grand slam in 13 was the best match iv ever seen, 113 vs 110 long format crazy. Players can match that now but only in patches not through a long match. And dart boards are generous these days, the trebles are bigger hence why the higher averages.
I didn’t know they had made parts of the dart board bigger...... interesting 🤔
Just checked, it’s down to the wire used on the board, the average board wire is 0.6mm and the tournament wire is 0.4 So the doubles and trebles are bigger
@@paulgrayson8799 it is because the wire is much thinner
@@paulgrayson8799Chris mason did a piece on KZhead showing todays boards are 14 percent bigger that’s why trebles and doubles are bigger

Spot on brother Phil Taylor will never be touched he’s the greatest
@Kevwebster135 100% Phil is the reason why alot of people actually loved watching the darts, I feel like darts is still good but its not as good as it was back then, there's not as many characters
I'm better than Phil Taylor. I'm Stoke's number one player
What are you waffling. They never let Phil take on so much he just made it all about him cos he’s a tit of a man. Great player but a nobhead. Would never have won as much as he did in this era either.
@@Afed390 nice one 👍🏻
I got told mvg was trying it on with bar staff at Barnsley metronome
I can some points of mvg and others I'm going well I think you may understand that some day when your not the top dog. Heck Taylor final year he won again at the matchplay and made the final of the world's that is actually ridiculous but shows how good he was, maybe mvg will understand when his game weakens and he loses more as its hard coming from a point when your at your best to not being the best you are anymore.
Father Time will soon reach MVG humility.
Taylor best ever player and nobody will reign for as long as that man did love him or hate him if your a real darts fan you can’t even deny him that
Phil is the best also. The quality of the boards and all related equipment has to be taken into account. But even without that, his tournament averages are .... ahem, phenomenal
Barney also doesn’t get enough credit because he entered the PDC and beat the best player on the planet on his first PDC championship to win the final
Barney won’t get the credit for beating Taylor in that world final, after that game Taylor owned him
16 World Titles. End of discussion
Taylor’s success will never be eclipsed. He was a manufactured talent, so consistent and could demoralise opponents. When MVG really hit the scene in 2012 I knew he’d be the only player to rival Phil and their statistics are very close on the oche re scoring, averages, finishing etc - albeit Phil’s achievements are light years ahead of anyone including Mike. The way I see it is had they both been playing in their prime at the same time that they’d likely be participating against each other in the majority of finals. Because Phil could raise his game like a wounded animal and Mike does so similarly. When Phil avenged his loss to Barney 7-1 he was unplayable. Even Mike at his best might have struggled. Mike can win a set checking out in 10 - 11 darts with ease but then disappear. Where as Phil’s consistency of 12 darts finishes but every set were what players struggled to cope with. I guess we will never know. But Phil will always be the greatest player to grace the oche. And I guess it’s probably a good thing they both didn’t perform at their peaks at respective time because the other players might have struggled to dethrone either. Reason being is both Phil and Mike are fiercely competitive to the extent that they’d be looking to improve all the time merely in case they collide with one another! Massive respect to both of them and I love darts in general. Best of luck to both Luke’s tonight, should be absolutely epic!
you show disrepect to anderson etc he had 106/7 average in 2017 he didnt win final
@@ChrisThornburn-ke5xk I’ve nothing but admiration for the flying Scotsman. At his peak he was fluent and exciting. But this is more about Phil and MVG on basis. So I’m not sure where the word disrespect came from. When Anderson beat Taylor I’d actually be happy for him because when he has confidence he can compete with the best.

I've never heard so much pish . Phil Taylor is the best man ever to pick up a set of Darts . MVG can't even dominant now . With Taylor retired , Taylor dominated the head to head even on Taylor's last couple of seasons before he retired.
Can't believe nobody ever sparked Taylor out. He's an absolute helmet.
Phil doesn't win 17 world championships or however many it is against todays competition.
No I agree but he'd still win more than anyone else.
@vincentmcbride6210 he'd probably be around the 3 that van Gerwin has. I'm not discounting the legacy. It was just a different Era. Everyone is better today across the board in every sport. Nobody was putting up 100 averages except Phil. Most of the guys were comparable to Fallon or Lisa Ashton. Now, guys put up 100 averages and lose.
Without Taylor darts doesn’t reach the level it has. Not in terms of skill and not in terms of number of tournaments or prize money. And nobody apart from MvG has came close to his level of play on a consistent basis.
@@mccann82agreed. Everyone had to step up to Taylor. The chase made everyone better, even if it wasn’t that generation, the next one had foundations built and so on. Taylor wouldn’t win as many now because everyone is better and tournaments can be be won and lost on the day. But he’d still be one of the most decorated champions because he’d also step up his game further against more competition
He wins more than mvgs 3 in 15-16 years though.
mvg is genuine speaks his mind and you take it or leave it , he gives zero f#ks which i respect , i rather open honesty instead of fake pretense . good bloke
No one spoke like this when Phil was in his prime . Easy to say now
Taylor the classyist player to ever throw a dart and the most honest period mvg ain’t nothing up to Phil get some respect and mvg ain’t what he was.
