Greatest of All Time update

[Dejch]

I Still think Fedor is GOAT, but Jones could surpass him eventually.

See, this is what I meant. No way in hell is that a real opinion, based on an open-minded evaluation. It's just Fedor love, all over your face, down your chin.

Not only is Anderson a better fighter but he'd destroy Fedor if they fought in their primes, despite any size difference.

If you really believe that anderson would beat fedor you are crazy. Fedor was the better all around fighter. Just because anderson is flashiest doesnt mean he is the greatest. Fedor would outmatch anderson. Dont believe me? Ask anderson to fight him. He never would. Even now i bet

This is pure lunacy. You're clinging a little too hard to someone's yam bag. AS's weakest point in his game, is one of Fedor's strengths, takedowns. Fedor tossed men much larger than AS around like a pillow, but AS could stop that? Fedor outstruck a prime Cro Cop, and annihilated Big Nog's guard, and yes, the size difference would matter....this fight wouldn't go past round one, stop sniffing the glue kiddo.

I don't think Aldo is quite in the top 5 on the GOAT list.

yet is hendo?

 

[dudocius]

I say Fedor. It's hard to stay undefeated for that long, specially when you are gettign hit with 4oz gloves. (not matter how many cans he fought, if a HW touches you with a 4oz glove most go down).

 

[ShagginTurtles]

In 5 years I predict we'll all be talking about either Jones or GSP since they both have many more years of fighting (assuming GSP doesn't retire)

 

[Mau]

Fedor

 

[Dejch]

Better poll would be who on this list would beat Fedor in his prime?

 

[silentfury]

Im a "Spyda man"...although i have him and Fedor as 1a and 1b...

 

[PrincipeAdam]

IMO

Silva is a 10 standing but like a 7 for grappling and wrestling [17]

Fedor is like an 8 for standing and a 9 for grappling and wrestling [17]

GSP is a 9 for standing and a 10 for grappling and wrestling [19]

GSP has a better striking then Fedor? Really?

 

[meelad92]

Anderson Silva, followed by Fedor and third is GSP.

 

[Concrete]

Still Fedor.

 

[WrestlingIsReal]

Hendo or GSP. I would post why but, I don't feel like defending myself from Fedors "loyal" subjects nor Silvas army.

 

[bambammccoy]

GSP has a better striking then Fedor? Really?

I love Fedor but GSP has a black belt in kyokushin krate, trains with freddie roach, I would think he trains some with Phil nurse aswell, and h has the sneakiest jab in MMA.

that puts up an arguement IMO

 

[ShagginTurtles]

GSP has a better striking then Fedor? Really?

He's out struck Alves, Diaz and Condit standing..

Outside of guys like Fedor, Cain, Cro Cop and JDS HW doesn't have many fantastic strikers

(I know Fedor out struck Cro Cop but so did Gabriel Gonzaga.. I know it's not prime Mirko but still to argue Fedor is a better striker than GSP seems silly to me, GSP is one of the best boxers/technical strikers in MMA)

 

[dudocius]

GSP has a better striking then Fedor? Really?

In reality what threw me off his post was the grappling and wrestling. As a BJJ practicioner, i am a huge fan of Fedor's subs, active guard and hips. GSP has incredible MMA wrestling, but it's been a while since he used any type of submision to win.

 

[ferrisjso]

The fact that Fedor is winning is a travesty. Logically the GOAT is Jones seeing as if he don't count the DQ Jones has won 14 straight fights in the UFC which is only two from Silva and he's only 26. Jones has beaten half the champs his divisions had and for the most part finished them. You can make arguments for AS and GSP because Jones is so young and a lot can happen but saying Fedor is the GOAT is just plain insane.

 

[Sivo The Ram]

IMO

Silva is a 10 standing but like a 7 for grappling and wrestling [17]

Fedor is like an 8 for standing and a 9 for grappling and wrestling [17]

GSP is a 9 for standing and a 10 for grappling and wrestling [19]

while i dont really agree with some of the numbers here, i do agree that gsp is the most well rounded fighter. i still have him #2 behind fedor though

 

[Hallzzz]

Fedor IMO isn't close to GSP and Anderson. GSP has the greatest wins but Anderson has had te greatest fights

 

[JustinvR]

Andy nr 1
Fedor nr 1.5
GSP nr 2.

my own humble opinion.
