With his losses, close decisions, and boring fights I probably have him in the lower end of my top 20 all time.
But he is probably closing in on a top 3 MW.
Would you mind listing your top 20?

Ive been talking a lot of shit today as an Izzy fan
But I don't know yet, his ground game is still too weak for top 10 imo
You realize age and fight miles are a real thing right?Anderson was peak Anderson when he was wining right? but not when he was losing
You can't cherry pick, he was found pissing hot multiple times and was on a 6 fight loss streak at the end. You count his highlight reel wins when he baits with hands down chin out? then also count when it back fired. Count his 6 fight skid.
Also who's the best guy he fought? Vitor? Chael? Leben? Maia? None of them are as good as Whitaker, let alone Periera.
I think you're easily fooled by the highlight reel KO's, that you ignore the losses, the pissing hot, the quality of opposition.
The real MW goat won tonight.
I've started a thread congratulating Israel.lmao, here he is, showing his face
What did I repeatedly tell you over and over kid? That without a ref or a bell to save him, Alex is losing
His losses... lmao, lost to periera and the very end in an epic 5 round fight, and lost to Jan, who he fought massively undersized.
Stay the way you are please

No ill will towards him at all but all time GOAT talk is just hyperbolic nonsense based on recency bias.
By besting a guy who is only known for beating him.getba gripTier 1: Jon Jones, Anderson Silva, Fedor Emelienenko, Georges St. Pierre
Tier 2: Jose Aldo, Mighty Mouse
Tier 3: Matt Hughes, Dominick Cruz, ISRAEL ADESANYA
Adesanya is now a 2x UFC MW Champion with 5 title defenses. He has 7 overall titles and 10 Top 10 wins. On top of that he just crashed Sherdog.
There are alot of overhyped, flash in pan fighters that get a quick 15 minutes of GOAT status before quickly being forgotten. Israel is not one of those. He is a true ALL TIME GREAT Top 10 fighter. He has the skills, he has the titles, he has the resume. Lets give it up for the Stylebender, the GREAT Israel Adesanya!!
his ground game? Rob Whitaker had his back, he stayed clam, got up (with rob on his back) walked across the cage and calmy shook him off.
You probably been on this forum too long and hence your understanding of the sport has seriously dilapidated. Izzy has a great defensive ground game. Did you forget also Marvin had his back, he stayed calm end reversed the position.
He doesn't need a great offensive ground game, he just needs to get back to his feet.
Its still amazing to me how bad the takes on this forum are. They ignore fact.
He has a solid run, but his losing record against Alex and Jan are going to be hard to overcome in the big picture
Izzy is closer to passing Anderson Silva all-time at MW than any WW has come to surpassing GSP at WW.
Real talk.
