Modern men = basically modern women. Driven entirely by emotion and the moment.The votes are so telling of how most on these forums go with emotions and feelings instead of facts and logic. GSP was great, easily the best WW of all time...but how can you put him ahead of Jon? I mean he only fought outside of his division once versus a one eye injured Bisping, meanwhile he ducked Silva for a solid decade almost and in the twilight of his career was known mostly for laying on people are wrestling them to boring decisions. I feel the only reason people are putting him on the top of this list is due to the hate for Jones and disrespect for Fedor the non UFC guy.
Fedor on the other hand would have been at the top of the list if he retired after his stint in Affliction as at that point he beat AA and Sylvia two guys that were named from the UFC back when it was Pride vs UFC that could walk through Fedor if they fought and well they didn't, Fedor finished both fairly fast. Fedor also fought guys far larger than him throughout his career and was easily the most exciting fighter of the three on this list by far. But due to him handing around far too long and losing to guys like Bader, Bigfoot etc....you just can't put him at the top. IMO he is a clear #3 but I get the argument for #3 as during his prime he fought everyone and beat them.
Jones...as much as people hate him is by far the #1 on this list, he beat everyone....everyone @ LHW and only looked human in 1-2 fights Gus1 and the other guy he squeaked by with a decision W...I honestly cannot think of his name atm as he fell off hard post that fight. Skill wise, fight IQ, dominance and who he beat over the years cements him as the greatest, even if you all hate him for not fighting Aspinall when you wanted, he still went up to HW after a long time off, beat Gane with ease (no one has), then beat Stipe...even if Stipe was past his prime he is still a top dog @ HW and would likely still beat everyone outside of the top 3-4. However all that said about Jones....there is still the BIG * beside his career due to the PED use...he can lie all he wants but anyone who knows anything knows this guy was taking shit.
Anyway Jones is a clear #1 regardless of your bird brained emotions making the vote for you.
1. Jon Jones
2. GSP
3. Fedor
If Jones turned a corner and basically saved a bus full of children or something, this poll would instantly change to like 65% Jones, lol
