He would also need a good win at 170. BJ and Conor fought at that weight despite being much smaller than Tony.
He has to beat Pettis
Then Khabib
Then Conor
Then GSP
Then Machida at open weight
Only then can he become GOAT
If he beats pettis then Conor and Khabib it would be 13 fight winning streak with 4 former champions in your resume and i think thats enough for being considered the LW GOAT .
Conor cuts a lot of weight.
Tony doesn't!
Not sure if i totally believe it but according to Tony himself...
Not sure if serious. There is a pic in this thread where Tony is 200 lbs.Conor cuts a lot of weight.
Tony doesn't!
Win and defend the belt 5 times imo
Anything he does without the belt is inconsequential in terms of GOAT discussion.
We are not talking about official rankings or stats but the best fighter ever in the division. BJ Penn does not have the best record but he was undersized and fought all kinds of bigger opponents.Quite possibly the dumbest thing I've ever read. In order for him to be the GOAT LIGHTWEIGHT, you say he needs a win at WELTERWEIGHT?
Logic, use it.
Quality of wins>>>>>Having a belt.How do you become the GOAT of a division when you've never been the champion of that division? Ben Askren is undefeated. Is he in the WW GOAT talks? Hell no lol
The fuck is wrong with you people?
What if the UFC just never gives him a title shot but he keeps beating top 5 guys?Never held a belt yet mentioned w/ GOAT...brought to you by the dumbassery of the sherdog heavies.
