Woodley: Wonderboy, Till, Gastelum, Condit, Lawler, Maia.
Hughes: green GSP, Bj Penn, Sherk, Sakurai.
Losses:
Huges: 9
Woodley : 3
Title defense:
Woodley: 3
Hughes: 5.
literally, any wins in Woodley list(top wins) is better than every single matt Hughes top wins.
so how's hughes still above Woodley in Welwerweight Goat discussion?
 
because people think old time fighters are cemented in goat discussion and newer fighters will never be in that discussion unless it is jones, conor, khabib or dc.
 
Who's discussion?
I think Woodley is greater than Hughes in WW GOAT discussion
#2 spot

I think most people have it down to accomplishments and other things of that nature, personally its GSP, T-wood, Lawler, Hughes. Sorry hughes.

Jeez at least get your stats correct.Anyone that actually watched his career would know that 5 title defenses doesn't even sound right.I guess when trying to find out how good someone is,since you're new to mma,you didn't study his fight finder or wiki well enough.The noobs around here are hilarious.
 
Only a noob would say that Woodley is ranked higher than Hughes as a WW GOAT, LOL! Go back and watch all Hughes' fights.
 
TS started watching MMA within the last 2-3 years. Fact.
 
Cuz Matt never ran like Tyrun did versus Maia and Wonderboy.
 
It's mainly because of nostalgia. Hughes has been part of some of the most memorable fights in Welterweight history so older fans tend to look at his career through rose tinted glasses. Wins over BJ and GSP are a pretty big deal though and Sakurai was the number 1 P4P guy on the planet at one point so that's a pretty big deal too.
 
One month ago Woodley wasn't in the discussion. He was being blamed for having a few boring fights. Now, after one (very good) win there are all these people throwing GOAT around. A great way to get considered as an idiot is to start a discussion way too early. If Woodley is GOAT material, he will continue to prove it and you can make a case, but don't base it on one win.
 
We can't discard fighters who are from past generations. We have to judge them based off how dominant they were at their time. Was Hughes more dominant then wood?

hughes would have beaten marquardt

Matt came very close to losing to Trig, Nate > Trig. IMHO if it wasn't for Silva Nate might have been the champ. He obviously was on a big downward shit spiral when he came back to the UFC. But the Nate that beat Tyron, I think could have given Hughes hell. Nate's record isn't great, but he has some solid ass wins and at one point was a top 5 in the UFC.
