Anthony Smith is so bad....

[Kaiserjuan]

....that fighters retire when they lose to him
...that he needs a striker to attempt lame takedowns in order to win the fight
....that he was unable to finish the fight with strikes
...that he always needs to get into a dog fight to win
...that even if he gets another gr8 win he will never fight Jones again because he fought like a scared pussycat the first time
...that he will almost surely lose his next big fight
...that top tier fighters won't fight him cause they know that won't get the a TS

Anthony Smith is so bad that he just beat Alexander Gustafsson

Haven't you heard? Gus was never any good.

The LHW division is a wasteland in flames. It is hard to watch, so I don't.

Jones couldn't finish.

Therefore, Artem is the GOAT

I dont feel like Anthony Smith is all that great of a fighter yet he has managed to completely destroy guys like shogun and Rashad, and he just beat Alexander...so I dont know.

I kind of thought the same thing about weidman when he was up and coming, but he beat some top guys.

He is pretty underrated.

Had one of the best career resurgences ever.

He’s actually a lot better than people give him credit for, and I include myself in that (or at least I used to, I’m starting to appreciate him more now).

Just because he looks like the quintessential Tapout Lord and Meathead/Clubber style fighter, people place him in that bracket: however, he fights with the guile and trickery that one would expect from a veteran with so many fights. Granted, he’s not the finest example of the Martial Arts and will most likely never pick up the strap, but he’s a good fighter and manipulates the intangibles in fights to forge a path to victory.

Chris is so desperate I need to have a seat for a 23 year old university graduate filming a swimsuit Instagram ad for the company she models for? No wonder he's been writing all those bad checks lately. Tell him to DM me and I can PayPal him a few bucks; poor fella.

The ghosts of shad and Shogun don’t count for much and Gus was already out the door

He is a very good fighter tho, his win over Volkan is probably his best win imo, another good fighter in his prime, I would easily pick Smith over Reyes

Any time someone claims that Fighter A retired Fighter B I lose respect for that person. Anthony Smith isn't a terrible fighter but he's never going to be champion of any division. He got a good name on his win list now. People were upset because he had no business fighting for the title, your post doesn't make him a more legitimate contender or change that fact.
