Greatest player never to become World champion

Was Discussing this earlier at the Carvery for me it would be Jimmy White as he reached 6 finals and never converted a single one usually being bested by the robotic and uncompromising Hendry. I can't imagine being so agonisingly close on six separate occasions.

Mark Allen would be on the list as well he could obviously still achieve it but until he does.

Paul Hunter would have also the a contender for me

And Ding Junhui is also in the conversation as well

What do you guys think ? let me know in the comments thank you
