Littler told not to expect to match Phil Taylor's success.

For three decades, Phil 'The Power' Taylor absolutely dominated the sport of darts. His record-breaking success has made him widely recognized as the greatest darts player of all time. With an impressive record of 85 major titles and 16 World Championships, it's no surprise that many have wondered if there will ever be another player like him. However, former world champion Dennis Priestley believes it's highly unlikely that anyone, including young Luke Littler, will be able to replicate Taylor's level of dominance.

According to Priestley, the current PDC circuit is filled with talented players, making it nearly impossible for someone like Littler to achieve the same level of success as Taylor. Even with his skills and potential, Priestley believes Littler has "no chance whatsoever" of reaching Taylor's level. When asked about those who have compared Littler to Taylor, Priestley stated that he doesn't think people will get tired of watching Littler win and dominate his opponents, just as they didn't with Taylor.

But Priestley also acknowledged that it's not just about winning and dominating the sport. There's also the possibility of Littler being able to follow in Taylor's footsteps in other ways, such as being an ambassador for the sport. Priestley himself has no doubt that Taylor would be happy to come out of retirement for an exhibition match with Littler, but only under specific conditions. Taylor has joked that he would only play Littler in a one-leg match of 301 if he gets to throw first.

In an interview earlier this year, Taylor also revealed that he has been asked to mentor Littler. While he is more than willing to do so, he has one unique condition – he wants to live with Littler for a few days to truly understand his practice, diet, and lifestyle. Despite being sponsored by the same company, Taylor wants to see for himself how Littler prepares and trains for his games.

In the end, Priestley believes that even if Littler does go on to dominate the sport, it will not be the same as Taylor's era. With the current level of competition and the constant evolution of the sport, it's unlikely that anyone will ever be able to replicate Taylor's success. But that doesn't mean that Littler can't make a name for himself and become a great player in his own right. And who knows, perhaps in the future, we will see a new legend emerge in the world of darts.
