Greatest of All Time update

Only Fedor and Anderson belong on that list

Hendo being there is a disgrace

HendoKO'd Fedor and gave Silva his toughest fight before Sonnen. His LHW and MW ratings GOAT are hurt by the fact that he split his time pretty evenly between them but besides Jones, GSP and AS it's hard to put anyone in front of Hendo P4P.

I think it's between Hendo/Nog who is 5 in Goat list.. both have had amazing careers.

BTW Hendo didn't give Anderson his toughest fight before Sonnen, Anderson got his spanked in Pride.

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!

Hendo did beat Fedor, Still its Fedor

 

[clift]

Still Fedor.

Fedor is a guy that if he came up now he would be fighting at a ripped 185. That to me is a testament at how good he really was when he spent 10 years destroying heavyweights.

AS by a mile. Fedors record is riddled with too many cans

 

[takestwototango]

Does Fedor losing to Hendo and Anderson beating Hendo factor in? Do you guys take that in consideration...i wonder.

 

[iwhoopedbatman]

Poll turned out as it should.

My AV.. oh my.

 

[[Tycho?]]

I chose Fedor, but Anderson is right up there.

mmath shouldnt really factor in. if that was the case than takase is greater than anderson and all of the anderson's wins, or matt serra is better than gsp, or bigfoot is the greatest hw. when comparing guys i think you need to just look at the persons record, see who they beat and how they beat them, who they lost to and how they lost, and actually watch their fights and see how skilled they truly are.

Fair enough, although I'm sure some people consider it though.

Thats why Fedor has twice as many votes.

Imagine if I had trained fedor.

Why should losses towards the tail end/twilight of Fedor's career be a game-changer? That's like saying Muhammad Ali should get some bad marks against his record because he got utterly smashed by Larry Holmes and beat by Trevor Berbick late in his career.

 

[Okajima]

Fedor easily winning the poll. Sherdog got it right.

 

[Breakitdown]

So? This doesn't change the fact that Anderson has the superior resume and was just a flat out better fighter in his prime than Fedor.

 

[SuperHoss]

There are great arguments for both Fedor and Anderson.


However, every thread discussing it was wastelanded until after Anderson loses. Why the sudden change?

It is about time people can discuss it without the thread being wastelanded or deleted, but the circumstances are shady.
