If GSP came out of retirement…

[Chalky White]

And he beat Leon for the WW title, would you consider putting him on the same level as Jon Jones?

 

[Poatan Power]

No, because Jones has multiple positive PED tests and GSP has 0. There are levels to this.

 

[legcramp]

No because anyone that's not blind can see a prime GSP (not the current Ellen Degeneres version) would easily 50-45 Leon Scott.

 

[cmw43]

GSP is already a two weight Champ and avenged all his losses and never failed a PED test.

He doesn't need to do anything else to be in the GOAT conversation.

 

[mma fighter]

GSP>Jones.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

He's already miles ahead of juice head Jones.

Jon's entire career will always have a giant * next to it.

He was so good and smart with fighting if he returned today at the age of 41 I would still give him somewhat of a chance to beat Leon tbh although it would be much smaller because he's older and retired now.

 

[tbulls123]

If he returns, he won't even be top 10. hehe. and he's my favorite fighter too.

 

[The Don]

They're already pretty debatable IMO. Jones beat Gane who looked like he didn't know what he was doing as soon as the fight hit the ground. Leon is far more versatile of a fighter, if GSP comes back and beats Leon, I don't think there's an argument to be made anymore.

 

[Fight Professor]

GSP would be neck and neck with Jones with a win over Leon if Jones beats Stipe.

 

[jx820]

No, it would be impressive as hell, but Jones' career has been superhuman.

 

[jx820]

No, because Jones has multiple positive PED tests and GSP has 0. There are levels to this.

In which of those levels is greasing OK?

While age and ring rust would be huge factor's he is always still in shape and training to some degree. You think all these people would beat him?

1 Kamaru Usman 20–3
2 Colby Covington 17–3

Do you think that’s not discussed enough in GSP-Jones-Anderson debates?

 

[jx820]

Do you think that’s not discussed enough in GSP-Jones-Anderson debates?

I think if people actually cared about integrity it wouldn't ever have to be brought up. I'm annoyed by the "rules are important for guys I don't like" arguments.

 

[xn7]

I would watch. But Leon has to be a heavy favorite in that matchup lol.

 

[Ares Black]

He's already above Jon Jones.

None of them would beat him.

 

[Ares Black]

Jones' career has been superhuman.

In more ways than one.

Current GSP still wins, but probably 49-46.
