Double standards for McGregor and Holloway at 145?

[Willek]

Conor's legacy at 145 seems to be tarnished by the fact he was considered "too big" for the division despite never missing weight. Conor calling other contenders in the division "manlets" may have helped this.

Max Holloway is also considered "too big" for the division and had trouble making 155 to fight Khabib. Yet Holloway is considered the GOAT of the Featherweight division despite also beating "manlets".

What gives Sherdog?

Conors legacy at FW is sealed. He made the weight, never missed, and beat everyone in front of him.

Conor came at a time when big weight cutting was becoming a thing and was always talking about it whereas for Max it's become common across the division now however I do agree there's a double standard to some extent

And never defended {<Mcgoat}

Did you just made it up or were thinking about it the whole day?

 

[Congo66]

Holloway is considered the GOAT of the Featherweight division

By who?
Aldo still is (if you want to go down the GOAT path) and will be for a while.

If Holloway starts to look like he's been rescued from a concentration camp when on the scales at weigh ins then you might have a point.

Holloway is not the GOAT he has defended against one person who he won the belt from and hasnt been able to make it to the cage to fight anyone else.

He will probably move up a weight class after the Ortega fight anyway.

This.
Who is considering Max the FW Goat? Even the most devout Aldo haters usually will atleast recognize that he is the GOAT FW.

[Arrrrgh]

They both bums.

José Aldo da Silva Oliveira Júnior still FW king.

He just got bored of fighting and wanted to focus on making sandwiches. That's why he let McHollowGOAT get T/KOs.

 

[Teddy Brukshot]

Aldo is GOAT at FW until Max has a few defences. At the moment it's Aldo > Max > Conor. Conor can't be GOAT FW as he left the division after only seven fights, Aldo defended the title seven times.

When did Max become GOAT?

 

[ChrisPalmquest]

Conor cutting to FW to look like the machinest is one of the biggest Cons in the sport.

This is a guy with a 74 inch reach which is on par with a MW beating up on trex hobbits

There is always a double standard when it comes to mcgregor..

He could cure cancer and some pathetic idiots would still shit on him..

Backside of that is he could be the cause of cancer and some other idiots would still praise him as the lord and saviour..

Polarizing, charismatic people do that to weaker minds..

 

[Lawblaw]

Shertards gotta shertard

Before McG, Aldo was considered too big and had trouble making weight

 

[Ruthless_swag]

Connor is GOAT fw. he destroyed prime also. I hate Connor btw. max is fighting pretty big FWs now. mociano, ortega and zabit are big FWs. I think Connor would have issuess with zabit.

 

[VVarhead]

Nobody considers Max the FW GOAT.

Aldo is.
