How do you decide and define who the greatest fighter is?

[Bones245n4847]

I go by resume, I don't care how many years you were unbeaten or winning streaks if those guys you beat were were Cambells chicken noodles or Progressive New England Clam Chowder sorry. Barao won like 20 in a row with guys without wiki pages. Then he did pretty well in the UFC until a guy in his prime beat him. Look at Glover winning 20 in a row then met true contenders and got blown out the water. Most impressive resumes to me when looking at both wins and losses are GSP and Jon Jones. Looking at win column only you got to add Dan Henderson, his losses drop him though.

The greatest fighter is the best martial artist plain and simple. The guy who consistently shows throughout his career he is trying to be most effective with damage and an aggressive finisher while fighting an array of opponents who should have different advantages/weaknesses such as size, weight and length.

Is it by how many wins he has on his records?

Is it by how many records he's broken?

How many title defenses?

His character?

How he wins rather than how many wins?

Just curious to see what people say since so many disagree on who they think is the greatest of all time in MMA.

Thoughts?

All of it.
