Can Woodley finally get his due?

I think most would agree he's too old at this point to surpass GSP in legacy. But If Tyron fought prime GSP and Hughes I'd favor him over both. I think what people really mean by Woodley WW GOAT is that he'd beat GSP and Hughes in a strait fight with no legacy or accomplishments involved, and in that sense I tend to agree. I really really wanna see Tyron vs GSP, both guys are very intelligent fighters.
Primes Hughes? Yes I think Woodley would beat him.

Prime GSP? I think GSP would take him. (My opinion is subject to change)

Current GSP? Woodley knocks him out.
 
Woodley is legit and I love laughing at the haters.

I got to laugh in a hater's face today. Was watching at a casino and this dude was talking mad trash about Woodley and said Woodley was gonna lose...mark his words. It was satisfying watching Woodley dismantle Till tonight.
 
No, kiddo...not new to the game of life. I just remember a time when shit wasn't all 100% believe something and the other guy's opinion sucks. That's your generation, not mine...sonny boy.

I envy you then haha.
 
Till 17-1-1
Maia 25-10 (2 title shots in 2 different weight classes)
WB 14-3
Lawler 28-12 (a former defending WW champ)
Gastelum 15-3 (imo about to be MW champ)
DHK 19-4
Condit 30-12 (former interim champ and I thought beat Lawler)
Daley 40-16
Galvão (5 ADCC gold medals, 1 silver, 2 bronze) top 3 BJJ practioner in the world

No easy fight. Has beaten good fighters.

I believe there is the tendency to downplay wins the longer the streak is and Woodley has been beaten by good fighters - this is not a criticism. I'm a GSP fan but it's funny how most will give him a pass on Serra (yes, it was a fluke) but don't give Woodley credit for competitive (or decision) losses. Losing to Shields and Rory are not blemishes, just being in a position to fight them speaks to ones ability.
I'm not a Woodley fan, but he is making a case for being remembered.

I'm of the opinion that GSP even in his prime wouldn't be able to get woodley down, tho I think he would be able to get some solid clinch work to wear him down. Eventually tho, like 95% of the pressure fighters who've fought Woodley, they will run into a bomb. GSP had great output and would have tried to pepper Woodley down with strikes from the outside, but I feel that would be a dangerous move and would get him floored eventually.

3-4 times out of ten maybe GSP can win a decision, but I think it's a nightmare matchup for GSP. Pressure fighters just don't fair well against Woodley, and even if GSP could survive the initial bomb ala the Condit fight, Woodley is no slouch on the ground and would at the very least be able to secure the round with top control. I think it'd be a sick fight, both guys have great IQ. I used to get on Tyron for his lack of volume, but his style is tried and proven at this point and it's a winning recipe, especially against guys who like to come forward.

I'm giving GSP the benefit of the doubt based on longevity.

If Woodley keeps up this body of work nothing says he can't surpass GSP as GOAT WW.

yeah just not near good enough for GOAT.

Nobody says Woodley sucks, they say he's boring and is a whiner. He wasn't boring in this fight and he'll win some people over for it. He also didn't whine this time
 
Woodley vs Colby next. Book it Dana
 
Trolls gonna troll. Listen to these types of people and learn all about how TWood and everyone else in the world sucks and is a piece of shit. It’s comical.
 
If he claims "the greatest WW of all time" about a hundred more times we will start believing it
 
Woodley is also outspoken and much of what he says rubs people here the wrong way and he's also a champion.
I don't understand what part of what he has said rubs people the wrong way..All I've heard him say is, he wanted to wait to fight Robbie..which turned out to be a good idea..he's says he's the best welterweight in the world..and he said why not focus on the 27/28 takedowns he avoided against Maia and the fact that he did it injured, instead of calling him boring..a title Wonderboy and Damian somehow avoid. Maybe his voice just rubs people the wrong way
 
Tyron has been getting his due. Like Dana said, he's always managed to shoot himself in the foot. Most knowledgeable people respect his skill set, unfortunately, most folks - myself included honestly - did not appreciate his stupid racist entitlement BS. You can tell Uncle Dana is just...tired of dealing with Tyron. He may be forced to start promoting Tyron better, because it looks like the champ is going to be around for a while longer. Tyron is the key to his own success here. He has been winning - respect for that - so hopefully he doesn't start crying that he's being denied opportunities again because he's black, because that was bullshit.

Don't understand "racists entitlement bullshit".

Wonderboy's fans said a bunch of racist things to Woodley over social media because he was getting the title shot over Thompson, Woodley calls them out and somehow the narrative gets flipped like Woodley is the racist one. (Kinda like the anthem protest where people are saying the athletes are disrespecting the militar by kneeing but it was a former special forces soldier and former NFL player named Nate Boyer that convinced Kapernick to kneel to show respect to the military and still make his point)

Woodley has yet to say anything untrue. The problem is the truth usually makes people uncomfortable.

I guess you weren't listening.
 
19-3-1

Wins over Thompson, Maia, Condit, Daley, Koscheck, DHK, Gastelum and now Till.

Can Sherdog finally slow down with the Woodley bashing?

Edit - add Robbie Lawter to the list

No.

Next question.
 
Anyone who was forced to watch through the GSP era can and SHOULD appreciate Tyron.
