GSP vs LWs

[RiotWyatt]

4-1 with wins over Ivan Menjivar, Sean Sherk, B.J. Penn and Matt Serra. If he adds a win over Nate Diaz and a LW championship, is he GOAT LW too?

 

[Dozer .]

Ivan Menjivar is a BW

 

[qw3rty]

BJ Penn is a FW

 

[Foolish]

In B4 Serra gif.

No, he is not the LW GoAT.

You have to fight at LW for that.

He's already the GOAT WW, and the only MW champ in history to go undefeated at the Weightclass. Now there's an argument for him being GOAT LW also...

Lightweight GOAT? GSP is the MMA GOAT dude.

 

[stillm93]

GSP loves dem lightweights

That's the thing , GSP is/ was an awesome fighter , but when debating about the whole issue of the GOAT discussion it has to be said GSP almost always fought guys smaller then him , i can count only a few occasions of someone being bigger than him or of equal size

Michael Bisping - bigger
Matt Hughes - equally large WW
Carlos Condit - taller , more leverage

Where as a fellow GOAT Fedor almost always fought men larger then him.

Serra is a super heavyweight.

 

[KB Warrior]

Cruz is the flyweight GOAT because he beat Mighty Mouse

Hmmm, looks like they were all fought at WW, so you're obviously just an idiot trolling for likes.
When he fought those guys, nobody was cutting 30 to 35 lbs of weight like they are today.

Murilo Bustamante disagrees

Good post but he was visibly bigger than Hughes and Condit. He actually looked bigger than Ping as well during the fight.

GSP has always been the bigger man.

I think Thiago Alves may have been a little bigger than him when they fought.... But I get your point.

Dude had great quickness and great base... Nice combination

 

[Skarsgard]

Technically he's 5-1 against those guys. He beat BJ twice.

 

[Bodil]

GSP isn't the LW GOAT simply because he never fought there. He's the WW GOAT. Hard to rank him at MW since he only had 1 fight, but he's still the lineal MW champ as well as the lineal WW champ.

Also he's the P4P GOAT.

Good enough.

Like Hendo, Lindland, Arona, Babalu (who has fought at 195), Sonnen, etc? Or do you mean freak shows like Zulu and Choi?
