HW GOAT?

[L0ki]

Just to get an idea of what the modern consensus looks like.

Exactly like it sounds: your HW GOAT pick.

I still have it as Fedor. He's still pretty clearly on that throne.

Dunno who is in contention, though I definitely like Ngannou. Exciting as all Hel and well spoken. Although, he still has some tests ahead of him.

I think if Francis faces some deep waters competition and absolute wars, like Shodo did against Cro Cop, Nog and Fujita, then it will definitely be telling.

On the flip side, Francis might get it just by Hulk smash tactics, though one would think the strategy won't work too long.

I'd have to see Fedor fight the level of compition the likes of Francis or Mir have faced, before putting him in any HW goat contender talks first.

It'll be okay.

I've been here twice as long, and I think another one can get gotten through alright.

I was banned on a 10 year account after a blackout whiskey night and posted a porn pic or something years ago. Had to restart.

You motherfucker, you realize what you just started...

 

[Blanqa Blanqua]

It’s just FEDOR.


Deal with it.

I think there will never be an established GOAT at HW because everyone can be knocked out with one punch. Everyone truly does have a punchers chance when it comes to the big boys

Still one of my original MMA dream fights:

 

[2004 account]

Fedor is goat, and although Francis is my favorite hw this era, he hast lost any potential momentum towards the goat argument with his stipe and Derrick losses.

No other hw is close to achieving such a long winning streak with multiple 1st rnd ko's and subs like that, while giving up height reach and weight most of the time.

Fedor and his longevity is something that likely will stand the test of time for many years to come. I do think he faced a lot of questionable competition however. But the heavyweight longevity and legacy is his.

 

[BadJuJu707]

Its between Fedor, Stipe and Werdum for me. Heavyweight is the hardest division to rate as far as GOATs go.

Fedor is the hw goat. But if prime fedor and francis fought. It was be sleepy time for fedor.

It's not worth a new post in worldwide mma but what happened to that dude that look like Beetlejuice over in Bellator? Liam McGeary...he was fun to watch. Let him eat on some weight and bring him over

 

[Eiffel-sixtyFight]

Still one of my original MMA dream fights:

Imagine how i feel this didn't transpire....efed was in his prime then too.

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

Sorry, Stipe didn’t do enough for me. It’s still Fedor

 

[HHJ]

Imagine how i feel this didn't transpire....efed was in his prime then too.

Fedor would have crushed randy tbh imo ngl

Fedor is the hw goat. But if prime fedor and francis fought. It was be sleepy time for fedor.

Francis would wake up looking at the pretty ceiling light thinking about a move to LHW

Interesting question I havent seen brought up before. This should be a good discussion!
