Greatest Of All Time
GREATEST OF ALL TIME
Think about that
An all time GOAT would NEVER LOSE
A GOAT of any division should theoretically NEVER have lost to cans. The argument that ´´oh they were green and improved a lot, is null because the GOAT candidates like GSP, Adessanya, Fedor, Khabib either never lost or never lost to cans. When you start MMA you are a can fighting other cans unless you are thrown into the wolves like Brock Lesnar was. So the idea that you the supposed GREATEST OF ALL TIME would lose is just poor when we have greats who never lost to a can.
A GOAT of any division should also theoretically NEVER lose to those from weight classes below them, but can lose to those from weight classes above them. Losing to someone larger only hurts your Pound For Pound (P4P) GOAT argument but it will not hurt your division GOAT status.
A GOAT of any division should also IF HE does lose, should AVENGE those losses (as GSP did)
If a division is so tough that nobody has ever NOT lost to a can, and has been defeated by smaller opponents and or NOT avenged their losses then you have to look at who did they lose to and how far back was it. In their current prime would such a loss theoretically happen? I.e., would Stipe in his peak prime have lost to Struve? It is unlikely he would lose to Struve but he never got to avenge that loss like he did the loss to JDS or the fluke loss to Cormier which he avenged 2x.
