Is Max Holloway Conor's best win ?

[AmonTobin]

Personally, I'd say yes Max is a bigger win than Aldo. I recently saw a video posted of Max's pro MMA debut and he looked like a world beater from the beginning.
I know this will piss a lot of people off, but I think he's the more difficult fighter to beat.

 

[Mike]

Uh no Aldo the fw goat is.

 

[C0NCH3TO]

Lmao no way. At the time the fight went down, Aldo was a the fw champ and had a ridiculous win streak. Max wasn’t even a serious contender… he was losing to 45er Poirier, Bermudez and barely beating Leonard Garcia.

Aldo and Eddie are BY FAR McG’s biggest wins. Who gives a shit if you beat Andy or Roy Jones now? Time matters a lot.

Somebody listed Chad.

Yeah if he was ready maybe.
Not off the couch with 2 weeks notice and dead at the weight.

The fact that Aldo didn't get a rematch with Conor is frankly an injustice

Every other champion who holds the belt for 2 years gets an immediate rematch

 

[OldFashion]

Aldo but the Max win was very good.

People forget Conor won that with a torn ACL.

prime Holloway would have dragged Conor into the deep waters and won. That's the truth

 

[matrixremaster]

Beating a green higschool Holloway by decision is not that impressive a win.

Maybe maybe not.
Conor beat him with a torn ACL so I have to disagree.

Was only a 3 rounder though

And ?

 

[kalabula]

Was max old enough to drive?

He didn't tear anything. You dummies always gotta downplay Conor's opponents effort just because Conor didn't blitzkrieg Max in the first exchange as you nuthuggers always predict.

Max was 21 and far from him prime

Max was so far from his prime that his prime winning streak began immediately after this loss.

You guys go just as far as TS does in your obvious extremes. Max wasn't a bad win, nor was he the greatest win.

It is what it is.

 

[BangBang]

No because It is what it is and it wasn't what it is now.

 

[marvinparsons]

I think it's a great win even at the time. Conor has been Max's only loss for a while. The fight was pure display of domination, something we rarely see when watching his fights.

FW was something else.. what you guys think?

Jose Aldo and not even close. Max was like 21 at the time.

So weird how Chad "gassed" exactly the same with a full camp against Volk in only a 3 round fight, who employed the exact same gameplan Conor did of punishing pressure and body shots until Chad folded.

It's almost like it's their damage and pace that slowed down Mendes.

 

[BigDramaShow26]

Not when you watch the fight and realize that Max is nothing close to the same fighter he is today.

 

[humdizzle]

interesting that conor has defeated tougher competition than volk, and became LW champ

 

[chinarice]

Aldo, Poirier, Mendes and Eddie are better wins than Max was when he beat him

 

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

I don’t think so but it’s his most underrated win
