IS Khabib the GOAT if he beat Ferguson and then Conor

He's a great fighter no doubt, but whilst the undefeated record looks good on paper the only high ranking fighter he's beaten is RDA. Now that's a great win but even if he wrecks Tony & Conor that still leaves him a far way from being considered GOAT.
 
Also, Khabib would need retire for 4 years and take welterweight title on the comeback


This really says a lot about GSP. People rip bisping and downplay GSP’s win over him but he did beat Luke, Henderson and A. Silva. He beat him after injuries and a long layoff.

I like Khabib but he is nowhere near GSP as far as accomplishments and level of competition defeated.

No of course he is not GOAT. If he stays healthy and keeps mauling everyone for say 5 more years then yes he will have his claim to be the GOAT.
 
14-2 record at bantamweight. Only lost to Cruz and Pickett.

Went to 125 because it was closer to his actual weight. Since undefeated.

Are you confusing him with someone or did you just wikipedia things?

Undefeated at 125, he's afraid of people closer to non manlet size.

Nah Hopkins is second
Mayweather and Hopkins are neither first nor second. Both ATGs though.



Honestly Floyd isn't a MW, him not fighting Hopkins at 154 shouldn't count against him much.
 
Is this real life?

No, Khabib would not be the GOAT by beating Ferguson and then McGregor.
 
How can you say that when Khabib is so dominant at 25-0? Especially since he's doing it at a far better weight class than DJ?
DJ probably won't surpass GSP. Khabib probably won't either. GSP has how many top 10 and top 5 wins? Khabib is excellent but he'd need to fight very regularly against great comp to get to GSP's level.

If he does dominate Ferg and Conor then a case for LW GOAT would be reasonable. That's well within Khabib's reach.

Khabib will likely end up somewhat like Cain. The potential to be the best evah, but with a prime wasted by inactivity.
 
No, but im sure Khabib owns a lot of Goats in his hometown. Heard he has a bunch of them.
 
You can't be the GOAT without any title defenses so no. Accolades>Talent and/or Record.
