Is Kamaru Usman GOAT WW if he beats Burns?

[bigmacbub]

Yup is say so. His body of work is more impressive than GSP.

GSP loses to Leon and Burns and probably Colby

Top tier shit post right here folks.

Woodley is Usman's best win and he couldn't hang with the GSP's era of WWs. So who are all these next level WWs that Usman is facing. Maia? Masvidel?

He couldn't? In the UFC he only had a controversial split decision loss against Jake and a loss to Rory. That's like saying GSP couldn't hang with the Serra and Hughes when he lost to them

Usman has looked great and fought some tough guys.

Some put way too much weight on title defences, but there’s some value in fighting top 5 guys for years on end and not losing.

What if he beats burns and then goes on a Woodley-like skid?

If Kamaru defeats Burns, he will tie the longest win streak in welterweight history (12) currently held by GSP.

Given the current number of top 10's he has beaten and how dominant he's looked, what do you think Usman has to do to be the greatest welterweight of all time?

With Kamaru I think he'll need to beat that title defense record before people start to recognize him as the GOAT of WW. His style hinders him a lot imo.

Not Yet but he will be GOAT if he keeps winning and defending the belt Multiple Times

Khamzat will take the belt from Usman next year

The Two guys that can beat Usman right now are Burns, Khamzat and Colby (If they do the rematch)

Fight Colby in a rematch,Khamzat,WB,Santiago,and Magny

 

[Everbest]

already is.

 

[aali14]

Are you really stupid enough to compare non title fights with low ranked opposition to defending your belt where you only take on top contenders from that point on in 5 rounders?

[sonhow]

Not even close lol.

Dan Hardy was a legit contender coming of a BIG win over Mike "Quick" Swick who was on a title shot worthy run himself.

 

[GOATtalks]

GSP has 13 Titles and 18 Top 10 wins. So no.

Usman might move in ahead of Robbie Lawler tho.

Robbie Lawler? Usman is miles ahead of that punching bag.

2-3 more good wins and he will surpass GSP as well

Compared to the flashy finisher GSP? Lol

continue winning.

The climb to the top is one thing.
No one pays attention to you.
Now he is the champ. Everyone is looking at how to beat him.

Continue defending the belt, and he can surpass GSP.
But right now, he is not even at Hughes level yet.

 

[leto1776]

No.

 

[icu__ha8n]

GOAT status is being given far to easy nowadays?? He's resume is impressive for now but he has to grind some more to be in the conversation imo

 

[kalabula]

Every first defense ppl are calling GOAT. Let’s let some time past and view these things in hindsight.

 

[d2s]

He's barely defended his title... holy shit do I ever hate this 'GOAT' era..

 

[JoeRoganPenn]

Really??? Fuck no, WW GOAT? How????
