If he beats Khabib he will have an incredible resume and I don't agree with the people who down play him as a top fighter. However he chased "money fights" rather than GOAT status. Say what you want, GSP fought EVERY top WW contender for years. JBJ fought every top light heavyweight one after the other. This is what Conor hasn't done and it's what hurts him. But he might not care, either.
EDIT: the thing that made GSP one of the GOATs is that he was undefeated for YEARS after his early losses. This erased the memories of his losses (not to mention winning rematches), and Conor would need to do the same to be in the same class as someone like GSP.
