In a division where Lutter was a top tier talent, it doesn't really matter how many top MW wins he achieved.
Forrest, even as "champ", was never really a top five 205er. He should have lost to Rampage. Terrible decision.
One good win ~ a severely injured Shogun that FG was losing until a lucky victory.

Lol Anderson looked like a giant fighting Sakurai.....

If anything, refusing to move up (cut less) in order to make 205 and fight elite competition cost him a few points in GOAT discussions.
There's no discussion. Anderson is the best that ever did it. Any "discussion" beyond that is just babbling nonsense.
This is one of the main points I use in goat discussions. Anderson(peace be upon him) has beaten:
-#1 Sakurai at 168lbs when he was an unknown novice(a truly remarkable win that is sadly forgotten in the man's legacy)
-obviously a ton of top 5 wins at mw
-#4 lhw Griffin in an unforgettable blitz.
Who can name another fighter who has ever done this? We can discuss the relevance and compare it to Anderson's(pbuh) wins who are all top notch.
In all fairness, Lutter only got a title shot for winning TUF4.In a division where Lutter was a top tier talent, it doesn't really matter how many top MW wins he achieved.
Biggest Anderson fan on Sherdog, but, do we *really* need this stupid thread again?
It's just going to create more needless shit posts.
Like this one. Wait. What?
Have you actually seen that fight? It was pretty close. Hell if Shooto was judged like PRIDE was then I'd give it to Mach.#1 Sakurai at 168lbs when he was an unknown novice(a truly remarkable win that is sadly forgotten in the man's legacy)
He got bigger, so it's irrelevant. It's not like he moved up and faced adversity. He was actually the bigger man in most of his fights. Even at 205, he was never greatly outsized, and he fought some of the biggest LHW's at the time. Plus he never fought elite competition there.
