Greatest of All Time update

I'll take the chubby LHW who went undefeated against almost all of the best HWs in his era for 10 years.

 

[Kanster]

Fedor and Anderson are neck and neck. GSP is up there as well, the only thing that really holds him back is the way he fights, dude is an amazing athlete, but he is fucking boring as shit.

When all is said and done I think Jones will be the GOAT as much as it hurts me to say because I really can't stand the dude.

 

[TheComebackKid]

yes, they are. Recent performances have clouded your vision, Randy and BJ, while they don't have cases for being the GOAT as strong as a guy like Fedor, GSP or Anderson, are certainly in the GOAT discussion

I disagree, I believe they are totally out of the GOAT discussion, too many losses and not long enough reins.

The only guys in the GOAT discussion are:

Anderson, Fedor, GSP, Jones, Big Nog, and Aldo. They've all had long almost uninterrupted reigns. I would throw Hendo in the discussion since hes the most decorated fighter ever and has beaten 5 maybe 6 divisional GOAT candidates.

If Fedor was a LHW by your logic then his best wins were against LHW's too.
Prime Cro Cop would be a LHW now, Big Nog might be a LHW too, Randleman and Coleman moved to LHW, and the fighters i mentioned are his best wins imo.

 

[Lifer]

We're still debating this? Fedor's the GOAT write it in stone.

 

[mirko>anyone]

Have I made it before Fedor haters came in to extinguish any notion of credibility he deserves?

Arlovski, Sylvia and Herring were better wins than Randleman and Coleman.

Anderson.

 

[JustinvR]

Arlovski, Sylvia and Herring were better wins than Randleman and Coleman.

mmm, Maybe better than the Coleman win but the fact that he Survived the fight with Randleman, and submitting him 2 minutes after the Randleplex makes it one of his best wins imo. Randleman would have killed mere mortals with that suplex from hell.

Fedor was heavier than nearly all of his best wins.

Gonna go with Anderson. More wins over top ten competition and generally made them look silly while doing it. Fucking close though. Its like #1A and #1B.

 

[eNoq]

I think Silva losing and Jones having such a close fight helps the case for Fedor being GOAT a lot.

By that logic Fujita is among his best wins.

 

[mmascene]

Georges St. Pierre

 

[Hanri]

Fedor having over twice as many votes as Silva warms my heart.

 

[Claude]

It's been a while since we had a GOAT poll, and I am curious to see how recent events, such as Silva's loss and Jones' war with Gustafsson affect Sherdog's opinion.

Vote away!

This thread/poll was made about 2 months ago. You voted for Anderson Silva.

Apparently you were not happy with the result :icon_lol:

 

[AP_RESURRECTION]

Fedor and Anderson on top everyone else behind

 

[JustinvR]

By that logic Fujita is among his best wins.

no, because the Randleman fight was against a more legit opponent who was coming off a KO win over Cro Cop.
And Fujita dropped him, Randleman threw him in the air lol.

Has it really been 4 hours? Man, time flies!

 

[MiroHa]

no, because the Randleman fight was against a more legit opponent who was coming off a KO win over Cro Cop.

Fujita hurt him worse. That was the only time Fedor was in real trouble before Werdum submitted him.

 

[SharkBoy]

the most accomplished hw is the obvious choice, don't see how the others are even in the running unless it's p4p

but where in 'Greatest' is there an * for 'btw, we mean p4p'???
there isn't

GSP, anderson? they might have been p4p better, but not literally greater, don't be ridiculous
