GSP's legacy is overblown and overrated

[TerrorTimmy]

A salty Penn fan is still mad about shit from 15 years ago. More on this breaking news at 11.

Not one response to debunk my opinion, just a bunch of anger and name calling. Somebody go ahead and justify why I'm wrong. Every single Georges title opponent had a losing record to finish their careers except Fitch. Fitch and shields are high level wins thus they were not mentioned here.

 

[Pious Augustus]

Let's examine his level of comp from their title fight forward:

Josh koscheck- went 2-7 to finish his career and georges was the only one who couldn't finish him

Alves went 6-10 to finish his career

Dan the outlaw hardy went 2-4 to finish his career

Condit went 4-8

Matt serra went 1-3

Hughes went 4-4 and was already in his late 30s

Bj 3-10-1

Is it safe to say that Georges really just caught lightning in a bottle if you will, and got all of these guys on the tail end of their careers like he did with Bisping. Not one finish other than the serra rematch.

Georges only has 2 legends on his resume and one of those fights is shrouded in disgrace so its really just one legend in Hughes.

Andersen has 4
Bones has 8
Fedor has 9
Amanda Nunes has 4

All of the fighters mentioned above all have finishes over other all time greats.

Gsp only has one finish against a career .500 LW who moved up.

I think its time to rewrite history to tell the true story of Georges career.

It was a good career, but not on the level of the real goat fighters.

Same as DJ and Aldo

You've literally had six legit responses exposing your clownshoery.

 

[fortheo]

I think it s safe to say that you are a vintage BJ Penn nuthugger who still has not recovered.

He's been making essentially this same thread for 15 years now. And when he's not making threads about it, he is talking about it in other GSP threads lol

Go eat Turkey

 

[StonedLemur]

Woke up and chose violence today did you?

 

[blaseblase]

Such as your username?

You can't end on a cliffhanger. Tell us who the real goats are.

 

[StonedLemur]

Did Penn tell you all of this at the airport @bjpenngoat ?

No sir.
It was when they were cuddling lol

[jeff7b9]

Contenders that get whooped tend to decline heavily after they fail to reach the mountain top.

Before fighting GSP those were elite prospects who thought they were on their way to being champions.

Then most of them got that mirage thoroughly curb stomped and got to face the reality that the only way they were going to wear that UFC WW belt was if George got bored with it.

 

[Wilmer Digreux]

I wondered what had happened to PositiveBalance.

 

[Dr. Rose]

He ruined Thiago Alves. Before he fought George dude was a berserker, one of the nastiest finishers and was an absolute weight bully. That fight killed his confidence

This. While trying to discredit GSP, ts really proved that GSP is the destroyer of careers. The lion tamer of the UFC, if you will.

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

Can you honestly say with a straight face that beating Dan hardy, matt serra, Carlos condit, kos and alves is actually better than Rashad, rampage, shogun, lyoto, vitor and DC?

Why are you leading with GSPs literal worst title challenger by miles and leaving out the majority of his actual top wins?

No it’s not. GSP is one of the best ever. Indisputable. What a dumb thread and metric. GSP is the reason why there was no other champs or “legends” in his era - he cleaned out the division and kept it clean.

Bisping may not be the best MW champ ever but GSP was long retired and still came back and mauled him too.

And TS is the reason any remotely big name fighter stopped posting here. All they do is shit on anything they will never accomplish.

 

[Ibm]

He was decent but no way he would beat prime anderson. Anderson would even outwrestle him.

 

[SuperNerd]

This what it looks like when you lost the war.

GSP fans don't have to do this.

Cute username. I bet it was really hip for a while. It's a shame we have it ignore it to take you seriously. How many mods denied your change?

TS' username is a dunce cap he selected to put on and strutted out the door with.

 

[ThePimblettEra]

Anderson Silva has 1 win in his last 9 fights.
He was never good, since the true mark of a fighter is how they finish their career.

That's TS's school of thought right there, a truly unique and revolutionary take.
He's a visionary.
We should be thankful he's here.

If you ever needed evidence that silver belts can be just as fucking ignorant as white belts, here ya go.
