Anyone remember the [Enter Recent Welterweight Champion Here] would destroy Prime GSP arguments?

[AmbassadorFright]

I remember this whole thing started with Woodley when he started calling for the GSP fight then when Woodley got exposed for wilting to wrestling and pressure (what GSP was known for) Usman became the guy, then got KTFO by Leon and tooled in the rematch after that I even saw a few posts saying Leon's striking and average defensive wrestling would be too much for GSP. Then Belal (a much shittier version of Georges goes out there and dog walks him at the old age of 35. I haven't seen anyone say Belal would be a stylistic nightmare for St Pierre yet which gives me hope these fucking noobs have realized the WW division hasn't "evolved" as much as they say it has sadly it only took OG Belal winning the belt before they shut the fuck up

GSP’s place as the Welterweight GOAT will not be touched anytime soon.

 

[Question]

Destroy? No, can't see any recent champion at WW that would do that
I think Usman would give a hard fight, but GSP was really great at playing into his strengths and exploiting his opponents weaknesses

For Belal, Leon and Woodley I think he'd win decisively enough

 

[Shaolin Alan]

There's always going to be lames trying to get an "I told you so", spouting off corny predictions & hate towards the greatest champions ever
I remember when the same morons claimed Dan Henderson was gonna wrestle-fuck Anderson Silva and the other ball lickers foaming at the mouth that McNugget was going go KO Khabibi

 

[mangokush]

Would be interesting to see how GSP would deal with Belal's Canelo hands & Khabib's Father's gameplan

One thing for sure it would be going to a decision

 

[dominion]

Jon Jones on steroids is what GSP was in the WW division, except he did not enjoy a size advantage or take steroids

 

[Cooliox]

BJ penn was going to beat him with his elite BJJ!

Thiago Alves was gonna beat him with the size advantage

Kos was gonna beat him with the All American wrestling

Condit was gonna beat him with the striking-BJJ combo

Jake Shields was gonna beat him by submission

Nick Diaz was gonna beat him with better jabs

Hendricks was gonna beat him with power

Bisping was gonna beat him because of ring rust

Usman beats GSP easily.
Woodley makes it close but GSP edges it.
GSP beats Edwards
Belal edges GSP

GSP is ww goat but he can’t dominant any champions after Lawler.

 

[ArtardFiesta]

Leon pretty much buried that when he headshot kamaru

 

[Thy]

i say 100% maybe to anything anyone has to say. ez win.

That’s true, he was always one-dimensional


Badabadum tsssssss !

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

GSP’s place as the Welterweight GOAT will not be touched anytime soon.

It'll take a decade long, active streak. Will be very difficult to match, he's the GOAT for a reason.

I'm just glad I never have to see another Usman nuthugger talk about how he would footstomp GSP 50-45.

 

[jeskola]

Shavkat beats GSP

 

[tritestill]

Love the threatening energy behind this thread, it's epic and great bro.

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

Prime Usman and Woodley would absolutely have been tough fights for GSP. Remember GSP himself wasnt exactly untouchable (Hendricks, Serra etc)

But yeah, trying to put together the run that GSP did against the kind of opposition he faced? very hard to do. Usman was a special talent himself and even he was 3-4 good wins off of having an argument before he got derailed.

 

[Bouboumaster]

The closest we got was Prime Usman but I would still pick Prime GSP over him

Usman is stronger but GSP was a Much, Much more versatile striker, while also being the best MMA wrestler ever

 

[Mind Mine]

There aren’t many champions in the past 7 years I think wouldn’t stand a great chance to beat GSP. The game evolved. Josh Koscheck is no Usman and Dan Hardy was no Leon. Colby will never be greater than Matt Hughes however would beat the shit out of him because THE GAME EVOLVED. GSP left for a good reason. It’s laughable nostalgia to look at who he faced compared to the skillsets today. Yeah prime Woodley had a very good chance as well. That’s the nicest thing I will say about Georges. His record wont be easily beat

 

[Cooliox]

Badabadum tsssssss !

Hah! I’m not going to change it because your comment the deserves the praises.

It's hard to say cause he had to duck out during the Hendricks/Lawler 2.0/Rory era which I think was strong. Usman and Belal are well rounded like him, and Tyron is has dangerous power.

The thing about GSP is you know exactly what he was gonna do, the safest way to win, and he was gonna do it as efficiently and cleanly as possible. So if that's the case, would he have jabbed Belal and Kamaru to death, or held them down? I'm not sure.

People don’t realize how far GSP was ahead of his time and his competitors. GOAT WW hands down
