If Max finishes Frankie......

[Left Hook Larry]

I'm telling you, I think that is wrong. They fought, Max lost convincingly.

Both have improved since. Doesn't change my opinion.

By this logic, Conor is still less than Duffy because he got beat convincingly. He was around the same age as max (when max loss to him) when he loss to Duffy. Both improved since then, but he should still lose because he loss convincingly before. See how dumb that sounds?

 

[Ozze]

Not at all. He needs to stay on top for that long, or close to that so people can say "he didn't defend as many times as him, but beat him without a doubt both times."

He's on his way, but not yet. Not yet.

 

[PerpetualWB]

Max faced better competition on his rise to the top so he doesn't necessarily need to beat the same number of people, but I don't think you can stamp it with a win over Frankie. A couple more after that will probably be sufficient though. There are some top guys in the division who would be solid wins for him. Chad Mendes, Chan Sung Jung, Brian Ortega, maybe Yair Rodriguez in a couple years.

Ok,, I stopped reading after the first sentence and quoted it..

Respectfully:
Not too many years ago,, a title defense meant you were fighting the #2 guy.. And he is dam good as well.. Several respected former champions have said its harder to hold on to the belt once you get it... Replacing a PROVEN 10 year champs GOAT card with an unproven guy is ludicrous..

I like Max,, and think he can be great,, but theres a difference between great and GOAT..

How many title defenses did Ronda Rousey have? Title defenses do not mean you are a great fighter. Sometimes it's just good timing and the best competition hasn't caught up to you yet.

Dis is not de wei. Frankie will take his skin to de queen.

I don't think its going to take years. Holloway is already undefeated since 2013, and a Frankie win would put him at 13-0 in that time period.

thats true but he's gotta ways to go, would love to see Conor

he's definitely gotta unbelievable streak going but so did aldo, he def could become goat, would love to see Conor rematch tough unlikely, could def see Max a 2 div champ aswell

Holloway definitely has the frame and the time to move up to 155. He's the real deal.

 

[Rod Farva]

How come it seems like every guy fighting right now is one win away from being the best ever?

 

[2GunTommy]

No way in hell Max finishes Frankie.
People aren't seeing how bad of a matchup this is for Max.
He can't press forward with pressure the way he normally does because that will make it easier to take him down.
His striking will be inhibited.
Frankie gets TDs at will.

wouldn't mind seeing him do it if he keeps fighting the way he does

 

[Phisher]

He had more UFC experience than McGregor.

So fucking what? He was clearly a completely different fighter in the nascent stages of his career.

 

[LittleSmokey]

Respect if he beats Frankie. But he's not beating Frankie.

 

[Phisher]

The best right now is Conor the greatest at FW is Aldo even if he beats Max and knocks him out.

Fuck off with this shit. Conor hasn't fought at FW in two years, and he looked drained when he weighed in at 153 for the Mayweather fight.

How the fuck is he the "best" in a division that he's never going back to?

 

[NotoriousMillions]

Max was 21 years old, surely you can understand what a monumental problem fighting in the UFC at age 21 poses. The only guy that good that young was Jon Jones who won a belt at age 23. Max is a murderer now and Conor is mostly sitting idle doing nothing.

Lmao, they started training the same year. Enough with the "Max was in diapers" BS, Conor's two years older. It's not like he faced some veteran of the sport and lost.

Conor demolished him everywhere and would do it again. He didn't even break a sweat in three rounds, yet you think Max is going to sit there demolish Conor now? Lmao, you're completely out of your fucking mind.

Conor's never missed weight once. Keep dreaming with your little fantasies, LOL @ drained at 153.

You telling me with a straight face that you think he's ever going back to 145?

 

[tdluxon]

The guy is 26 years old, I'd say wait a few years before assessing his career ranking. For all we know he could get smashed in his next 10 fights

 

[NotoriousMillions]

You telling me with a straight face that you think he's ever going back to 145?

If he wants to he will.

 

[Raise Your Fist]

It’s Conor until someone beats him at FW.

I cant take ur nuthugging anymore ahhhhh

 

[Left Hook Larry]

If he wants to he will.

Then why doesn't he? He keeps claiming he's still the champ. If he believes it, why don't he go and prove it.
