That is all.

Edit: 14 KO's... 16 finishes. Sorry.

Dan went from Decision Dan to H-Bomb Dan.

GSP went from Rush to 50-45.
 
Like Barry Bonds, better with age. Hendo's great finishes were towards the end of his career. GSP's finishes were mostly at the beginning of his career when he was broke and hungry and wearing "Beef Action" t-shirts.
 
Hendo: 16 finishes in 30 wins

GSP: 13 finishes in 25 wins.

Don't count their losses.
 
Hendo got 6 of his last 10 wins by finish (GSP got one, the Penn corner stoppage). Win or loss he didn't have anywhere near as many snoozers (outside Machida and perhaps Shields).

Plus he's 'murican so yea he won't get as much flack. I still remember his Decision Dan days though.
 
Dan atleast tries to finish fights .

Indeed.

Like Barry Bonds.
 
Hendo has more exciting fights though. He also faced tougher competition than GSP.

Well... hmmm... so I can't even count their decision losses?

GSP gets static for a decision win... but let's not count Hendo's decision losses against him.

Convenient.

Even during his tenure as Decision Dan, he had some great finishes which his detractors seem to wish to ignore. He's always had the knockout hands.
