When BJ first started fighting he didn't cut weight at all, he just didn't eat on the day of the weigh in.
BJ could have easily made 145 had he chose to do so.
Conor is not undefeated at FW.
Proof:
"After McGregor won his second fight against Mo Taylor, he made his featherweight debut in a loss via submission against Artemij Sitenkov." Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conor_McGregor
Chad has better resume than max, much better if you understand he fought conor on short notice and still was doing well and had a really fast come back fight against an extremely touch opponent in edgar while his jar was still cracked. Other than those 2 unnatural losses chad has almost 20 wins with a loss to only 1 man.
Since then max won 10 fights and lost none. Since then conor won 4 and left so Max is the one who is actually clearing the division.Let's compare.
Conor dominated him for 15 minutes with a bum knee.
There's your answer dweeb.
He's up there but max has done a lot more and looked more impressive .... Edgar had 2 shots at the belt and wasn't able to capture it. I know max won the interim but it still counts.What about Edgar you chumps..
Geez
Aldo's win streak includes
Noguira
Swanson
Brown
Faber
Gamburyan
Hominick
Florian
Mendes x2
Edgar
KZ
Lamas
But sure Halloway 10 fight win streak against mostly sub par comp makes him better.

Should be a crazy good fight between the 2 in Brooklyn
No. Aldo held the belt for nearly a decade. There's no way Max has accomplished more. However if he beats Aldo he would move up quite a bit, but he would still need some defenses.
yea when you wrtie it out like that he definitely has the better career at 145 so far then conor. Even putting poirier as a top 5 win for conor is questionable. and then no camp mendes being is other big win. hard to argue when its written out infront of your faceMost would say Conor....let's compare.

he has a way better win streak at FW then conor tho, One fight doesnt dictate all time greatness in a weight class. Conor could very well come out as the number 1 fw of all time. Problem is he doesnt fight there anymore, and when he did he got some favorable match ups and short notice wins. Without the aldo win conor wouldnt even be mention in the top 10 greatest FWs of all time.You can't put him above McGregor when he lost to McGregor,and McGregor also beat #1. It's not really arguable. If he beats Aldo by stoppage, then....maybe it's arguable
I thought aldo is no2.
this is your all time greatest fw list?? i feel like theres so much of FW that you missed with a list like this. Also conor no where near has accomplished what aldo has at FWIMO
#1 Conor for obvious reasons, he is undefeated at FW
#2 Aldo, only defeat against Conor
#3 Edgar, only defeat against Aldo
#4 Mendes, defeat against Conor, Aldo twice and Edgar
#5 Max, only defeat against Conor, did not face top FW guys yet
