GOAT by weight classes - 2014 vs 2011

[Jason AG]

HW: Fedor (Cain doesn't deserve an honourable mention yet. He's not that close. He's fought 2 guys in like 5 years). Nog is number 2.

LHW: Jones (Chuck, Shogun, Wand, Rampage all in a group below Jones).

MW: Anderson (No one anywhere near him).

WW: GSP (Hughes is 2nd).

LW: BJ (too many LWs are too close but BJ is the most dominant I've seen. Gomi, Aoki, Edgar, Bendo).

FW: Aldo

BW: Barao (Cruz potentially).

FLW: have no idea

Women: Mayweather

nailed it! wilko on fire

I like wilko's list but disagree that any of those people are close to bj

Edgar is neck and neck with him. He demolished him twice. Frankie has fought much better competition (Bendo twice, Aldo once) in fights which were razor thin decisions against him.

Saying BJ is the GOAT is like saying Tito is the GOAT of the LHW division. Both guys had some notable wins at a time when the division was garbage. Jumping around divisions and getting abused by GSP and Rory really taint your overall legacy.

Your post lost all credibility when you said Edgar demolished penn twice. The majority believe penn won the first fight. Also if your gonna throw in close decision loses it is notable that penn was competitive with gsp and machida.

Unfortunately that GSP loss started his "GOAT" worthy streak of 6-7-1 in the UFC.
