Best MW’s of all time

Maybe I have rose colored glasses but I haven’t seen anyone at mw I would pick over prime AS. The wrestling deficiency being what it is, he always found a way to win. I think he seems much easier to beat in retrospect than he was in practice at the time.

He didn’t always find a way to win, he has many loses. And it’s not hard to look good against guys like Lutter, Cote or Leben, lol.

Khamzat is on a completely different level.

Key word here is prime. He had about a 6 year stretch where he went undefeated as champion, so during that time he did “always” find a way to win. Any other nitpicking you’d like to do without reading my comments fully or are you done?

When Khamzat runs a streak of defenses AS did... we'll talk. You're either a blatantly obvious troll, or you haven't watched enough fights

And I guarantee you... give prime Anderson Silva 10 plus minutes to work on someone's neck with like Chimaev had DDP and he'd end the fucking fight.

Can you read? I’ve never stated that Khamzat is the greatest, all I’ve said he’s the best skill wise.

lol you're right, "best MW of all time" is much different than "greatest MW of all time", I'm sorry for slandering your intelligence.

You just revealed your nostalgic bias. You place Anderson at #1, yet his best win is Hendo at #8 according to your list.

Yet you don’t rank DDP in top10, when he’s beaten #4 Adesanya, #5 Whittaker. Why?

Whittaker and Adesanya were shopworn by then. Fight mileage is a reality. Its why Muhammad Ali lost to lesser fighters later in his career.

I'm basing my list on each fighter at their peak and how they stylistically matchup to eachother.

Silva was insanely fast and precise. At worst he loses to Borz and Weidman but beats everyone else. Meanwhile I could see Weidman & Borz losing much more than just 2 fights.

You dumb retards should try to read before commenting. This is not a MW GOAT list. It’s about who’s the best skill wise.

And yes, Usman and DDP are better wins than Hendo and Vitor.

He suddenly forgot how to box? Lol

Pretty much yeah

He lost his elite movement & the rest followed

or maybe you’re right champs who got KO’d at the end of their career like Luke, Connor, Chuck, Edgar never could throw a punch

I’m not talking about resume, but how good he was at MW. He did beat Izzy and Strickland and I would favour him to beat Anderson, Rockhold, Whittaker and many others former MW greats.

As much as it pains me to say this, 2012-2106 Rockhold would ragdoll Poatan if he stuck to a grappling plan. People forget about Strikeforce Rockhold. He ruled Strikeforce when they had better MW fighters than the UFC. Under slightly different circumstances (no TRT Vitor), he might have been the one to dethrone Anderson.
 
You forgot Doug “The Rhino” Marshall


Doug would put Khamzap on skates
 
See lfolks, if you put a little effort into trolling, you get lots of bites.
 
Peak:
1. Silva
2. Weidman
3. Chimaev
4. Adesanya
5. Perreira
