Greater WW, Josh Koscheck or Colby Covington?

RDA was at his unabashed WW peak, No one ever says woodley, RDA and Maia were old when referencing Usman. (I know Maia wasn't mentioned, but he's older than all I believe
 
i like koscheck, but colby's two fights with usman are better than kos's entire career. a lot of koscheck's best wins are against fighters who weren't at their best at the time they fought.

Koscheck, as douchy as he was he never was a POS like Colby.

No. Colby has a shithead cringe gimmick. Irl he's actually a decent guy. Kos is/was just a total douche in every sense.

In terms of career COLBY by a decent margin
 
Was it Yoshida that Kos knocked out on his feet with a howitzer of a punch, but then Yoshida didn't go down, so Kos kept punching? I've never wanted a fighter to fall to the canvas so badly. Poor guy.
 
Oh, and I'd probably go with Koscheck, just because of his punching power.
 
did not remember koscheck had all those good wins lol.

No, Colby is no a decent person, gimmick or not he is still a POS.

That literally describes Colbys entire career lmao
Kos was just unfortunate enough to weigh 170 when GSP existed. Georges beat the fucking brakes off Koscheck in their first fight, even shutting Josh out in the second round where kos landed zero strikes.

The second fight was even worse. We all remember Kos getting jabbed to death, but he was shut out in round 5 with zero strikes landed and was almost shutout in round 4 with 1 strike landed.

This is where Colby and Kos's similarities end. They were both thoroughly shutdown by the champion at the time, but Kos had more wins between and didn't squat on his rank. Daley, Yoshida, Rumble, Lytle, Hazelett, and Sanchez were all good wins at the time (I was high on dustin hazelett, had a fun ground game).

My issue I'll always have with Colby is he never fought anyone actually in their prime that he didn't lose to.
 
I think its against the spirit of martial arts if your plan is to score points for 25 minutes. Ofcourse fighter should use his iq, but Colby's only way to win is based on 3 papers & numbers.
 
Without looking at records Kos.
He seemed more impactful to the scene.
 
As much as I like to dump on Kos, he did things. Hard to say which is "greater".
This question did have me thinking Koscheck did way better than this Bo Nickal guy.
