He won't.
If you don’t respect Stipe yet, you never will.
He has a chance but I don’t think it’s a great one. Regaining a belt is always a situation that’s not likely to happen. Let alone at 40.
I’m good with him retiring. His legacy is pretty badass.
If he's GOAT, then he's already GOAT. One does not become GOAT, for GOAT is ALL TIME - past, present and future.
Fedor.
