So BJ Penn isn't an all-time great?

meh.

You can't tell me with a straight face you can compare the legacies of GSP/Fedor to BJ's.

There are levels to all-time greats. I think you're getting confused with the term Greatest of all time contenders.

GSP,Fedor,Anderson,Jones.

Put them in whatever order you want. Put an asterisk besides whoever you want for whatever reason you want. These 4 are the greats. Some people will remove AS or Jones because of positive tests, or Fedor because he didn't fight in a league with testing, or GSP because of grease-gate. Whatever. If you scroll back through GOAT discussions over the years these are the four names that pop up over and over again.

And the reason they are the greats is because they got in the damn cage and fought. They defended the belt against whoever was next, whoever was available. Sure they all had some weaker competition, that's what happens when you get in there and clean out the division. But they fought over and over again, in their division defending their belt.

I love watching Conor fight. And he'll go down as a legend, but he'll never be as great as these four because he's not getting in there and defending his belt.

Woodley is a fantastic fighter, but he's talking about who's going to make him a legend. And he's got it all wrong. One fight didn't make GSP a legend. 10 fights did. Not losing for 50 rounds did. He got in there and defended the title.

TJ just got his title back and wants to fight DJ. Is anyone going to care if he goes down and beats up a smaller man? That's not going to get you on Mt. Rushmore.


I'm tired of this circus. If you've got the belt, get in the cage and fight someone in your division. Stop looking for money fights. Stop trying to call out old legends. Fight the #1 contender and make the belt mean something. You can't pick and choose your way to becoming an all-time great, you either are or you aren't. But you have to get in the cage to find out.

What? Only GSP is the true GOAT. He also never fought weak competition.

 

[esum80]

Y'all really have no clue who BJ Penn is do you?

bj penn is definitely a legend but i don't think he's in the GOAT conversation. he's also on a slippery slope, losing his last 5 fights.

 

[knock_you_out]

Now, there are only two: GSP and Fedor. When you are busted for PEDs, twice, like, Silva and Jones, your greatness is diminished.

 

[bufetadanacara]

There is no debate- the best fighter that any of us have ever seen is Fedor.

Once another fighter comes along to rule the HW (Open in many cases) for 10 years, then their name can be added to the conversation.

That's like saying Karl Malone isn't an all-time great.

LOL sorry bud, if it's any consolation I find it amusing.

 

[superpunch]

Anderson and GSP would lose to Roy Nelson.

They're not 5'3 though, so it doesn't matter.

 

[Medulla Omoplata]

They're not 5'3 though, so it doesn't matter.

Also I'm not convinced they would actually lose to Roy.

 

[superpunch]

Also I'm not convinced they would actually lose to Roy.

Anderson could beat him but GSP tends to eat a few strikes during his domination of the other guy 10-9. 1 overhand from Roy would put him out

Roy is slower than shit.

Wish this thread hadn't gotten wastelanded.

Are you saying that GSP is clean?
What are you, a 5 yrs old?

That's an Epigastric hernia. It's caused by strenous activity. Not that uncommon.
