Do you rank Khabib over GSP?

[kingmob6]

Not at all downgrading Khabib. He is a phenomenal fighter, and I was hoping we got to see the next Fedor. I am surprised every time I see him, at how dominant he is.
However, he is a very big guy, that struggle to make lw. GSP was also a pretty big weightcutter (if I am not mistaken, even if he never failed weight), so they both probably had this advantages in most fights. GSP fighting the MW champ was an impressive feat, even if he had beat Bisping in practice. I would like to see how Khabib does when undersized. That is what all the greats do.

This has been posted many times, but doesn't account for the fact that Khabib is shorter than quite a few guys in the LW division. The whole argument that Khabib is big for the division is false in every way. He is an average LW at best.

3 title defences, so .....

They're in different weight classes & have faced different competition. If, in both of their primes, they fought at their natural 170 lb weight, I think GSP would have been superior. He is a more well-rounded striker and athlete, IMO.

Just three superb finishes against three former belt holders including one demi god striker.

So......

You can't be the P4P GOAT with only 4 wins worth mentioning.

Khabib retired too early and at the top of his game - only reason he doesn't pass the gsp. I just laugh seeing some of these posts. Gsp clearing out 2 era s. Lol. He is the welter goat but cleared out a division of inferior opponents and couldn't finish most of them as a heavy favorite . Let's keep it real. Lol : let's see khabib move up a division? GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE.
The bisping facade was smoke, mirrors and u idiots getting taken for a ride.
Rigg destroyed gsp on his way out.
A watched a 47 year old 15th ranked Dan Henderson put it on Michael Bisping

......and so did GSP( enter lightbulb).

Please tell me no one posted that....please.
This is why I pick my spots when I come on here ( and its usually trying to help people properly break down fighters / fights)

You think he keeps missing weight because he has a weak will? Of course not. He is a big weightcutter, and come from a camp that is known to be big weightcutters. He has also struggled to make weight most of his career. With your Logic, Anderson was the bigger man, when DC outweighed Him by 40 lbs in their fight.

Why dont you want to see Khabib vs some top WWs? I think it would be really interesting. If he wins a few, Nobody can deny he is a top 3 goat.

The guy that became champ after beating Conor, Poirier(exciting but second rate at best) and Gaejhe imo his best challenge then retires (quits). Is better than GSP? Troll.

 

[TrueTemper]

Yes, but they're 1 and 2

Poirier is better than every GSP opponent except prime Hendricks, who he lost to.

Lol! hows the weather in Chenchnya?

 

[jsbx45]

Not yet.

 

[Jose Beehive]

If Izzy beats Polish Power , Has he a better claim than Khabib ?

 

[Mavrilicious]

Massive fan of both, but gsp for becoming champion in both weight classes.

 

[woodsideQ]

Khabib changed the game more, increased its popularity, brought an entire new demographics.

Fighting wise, the two can't be compared. Different era, different competition. One has more title defenses, one never lost. Let these two legends be.

but khabib never fought serra...that'd be a L on his record

 

[Straatblaffer]

Both have very strong resumes, but do you now have Khabib surpassing GSP?

Lol. No, but decent troll

 

[morrisondafalln]

Khabib never tapped to strikes from an unranked fighter. Nor ever had to win his title twice. Nor lost his first chance to win the title.
