I'm not sure I understand your logic.
If Derek Jeter bats 225 this year, does that erase getting 3,000 hits, being a perennial all star and winning multiple championships?
I don't believe that when a fighter loses a few fights at the end of his career while being past his prime (some times way past) it takes away from their accomplishments. Why do you think it does?
"It was always about the belt, not GSP." - Johnny Hendricks

Yeah but they were never the greatest of all time were they?
And I don't know know some of the older boxers and their circumstances. I do know Ali and Tyson though and that's my two for boxing.
Same for Fedor, Anderson and BJ Penn.
I should go do something enjoyable.
Because he quit. We don't know what he could have done and how far he could have went.
Why do I have to explain this common sense to you fucking crazies. I'm out of here.
He's not considered one of the greatest of all time. He was a good champion though.
Boxing's Rocky Marciano retired at 32 years old and undefeated champ.
Nobody says he should have kept fighting and he is very comparable to Georges. In about 12 years of fighting he was 8-4 as an amateur and 49-0 as a pro. If anything his decision to leave on top makes him a legend. People never talk about the four fights he lost as an amateur.
Sadly, Rocky died one day before his 46th birthday in a plane crash. He had only 14 years to enjoy his well earned riches. Life is short, once you have enough money from fighting, get out because the scumbags who run fighting don't give a shit about fighters.
Umm yes. They were. This one's been pointed out multiple times.Yeah but they were never the greatest of all time were they?

Hendricks was pissed GSP retired.
Of course he's saying this now.
This thread is probably 12 pages of the TS getting shit on
And it's well deserved
But you didn't understand it before apparently. I had to explain it to you. yeah I'm 10 years old and have no idea what I'm talking about.
You "retiring" from this thread?
Yeah I'm going out on top. Fuck all ya'll.
If Hendricks really is pissed because he has some need to take the title from GSP, not just take the title in general, then he's a moron. As a fighter with title aspirations, his only goal should be to get that belt. It shouldn't matter at all how he gets it or who he gets it from.
