Fighters who run, have huge reach advantage considered GOATS (Jones, Izzy), but not Khabib?

[VVarhead]

They have reach advantages?!?!?! THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING

This is getting ridiculous, Khabib fans need an intervention. This is Conman fanboyism all over again.

 

[VVarhead]

Exactly what I’m saying Jones isn’t the GOAT. He has a physical advantage over all of his opponents.

If Jones was 4'11, had faulty chromosomes, shitty genes, would be unathletic and would have T-Rex Arms he wouldn't be a good fighter!!!

It's valid criticism to say he fights smaller men at LHW and ducks HW. But it seems like you can't articulate yourself well enough to form valid criticism.

 

[hydrobadazz]

Struve has an "unfair reach advantage".

He sucketh.

Struve is just a sucky fighter but that doesn’t negate how much of a natural advantage these guys have. How would they fair without these advantages?

you completely ignored the running part? Do guys who run from opponents qualify as GOATs?

I have not seen Izzy and Jones run. Also lol it's the challengers obligation to TAKE the title from someone, if Romero doesn't do shit against Izzy then why should Izzy risk getting KO'd if he goes charging after one of the most explosive counter-strikers ever.
If he did that you would be screaming "lolololo Izzy is so dumb no fight IQ no gameplan XD"

When did Jones run from someone?

It does negate it.

Struve has a huge reach advantage.

It's all how you use it. Izzy and Jones use it well. Struve does not. Not their fault.

The "reach advantage" argument is one of the worst in history.

How would power punchers fair without their power?

FUCKING STUPID.

you’re just conveniently ignoring the main issue which is running in fights

How can Jon Jones and Izzy be considered the GOAT when they both run in their fights? They also have an unfair reach advantages over their opponents. How would they do if they didn’t have this advantage?

 

[Krushey]

Struve has long reach.

Conor and countless others "run" in fights.

Either you don't like good Black fighters or you have something against these two specific great fighters.

Regardless, you need to find another argument.

 

[jikjik]

Yeah, how can they? They should just stand still in a cage 2x2 and keep punching and kicking. Idiots, obviously.

 

[KeyboardFighter]

If this would be true. Struve would be MMA GOAT, but he isn't.

 

[WhiskyFreak]

Part of the reason Jones doesn't impress me as much is just how much of an advantage he has on his opponent in terms of height and reach

Some fighters can't even get close t him to engage

To be fair he utilizes this advantage well, but still... Meh.

Then why is Khabib the only GOAT contender to miss weight or pull out of a fight with a weight-related issue?

 

[Robotnickx]

This makes it pretty clear.

GSP all day, if he beats Khabib there'll be no arguments left just tears.

 

[Ube]

What kind of bullshit thread is this? Wtf?

Are you going to blame a gymnast for being short?

a basketball player for being tall?

An Olympic weightlifter for having the proper body proportions?

Michael Phelps for having a long ass torso and long arms?

Do you think everyone should look the same in sports?

Connor is not being called a GOAT both of these guys run from their opponents. I think DC is far better

GSP tapped to strikes he’s a great fighter but not the GOAT

 

[HHJ]

These are just really dumb threads,even as a Khabib fan.

Its a fight,sometimes you need space,and runnin might be the only way to stay concious.
Staying concious is the GOAT

it’s a valid issue and definitely doesn’t allow opponents to get within his reach it’s something that doesn’t have to do with skill

Imagine thinking TS doesn't know that guys train and come up with game plans. I don't know what the dude is smoking but he needs to change the channel back to the WWE Network cause I think he sat on the remote and accidentally ended up on the ESPN channel.

It's not a valid issue. It's an athlete using their God given advantages to win his fights. Jones is long and knows how to keep people at distance. Khabib is an outstanding grappler so he pressures opponents and takes them down. McGregor has no cardio so he jogs around in circles to gather himself. All of these tactics take years of training to become better and get more "skilled." There is a reason you only have 2 likes in a 2009 account. You're arguments are lacking and your common sense is just missing.
