Is Robert Whittaker a top 5 Middleweight of all time?

[Hydrated RDA]

IMO Whittaker is a top 5 MW in the UFC. A little over a year ago, Jacare and Yoel Romero were the most feared MWs in the division and arguably both being ducked by Bisping. Whittaker walked thru both Jacare and Romero in the span of about 3 months. Overall Whittaker is just underrated. He’s explosive, has very underrated wrestling, has a solid chin, good BJJ defense, and great striking. Btw my top 5 MWs in the UFC are Anderson Silva, Vitor Belfort aka TRT Vitor, Michael Bisping, Henderson, and Whittaker

Jacare was put on ice and got old. Walked through Romero is an overstatement.
Anderson is the only one with big run. Weidman and rich had a few defenses. Top 5 isn’t a stretch.

Anderson's career is now irrelevant because of PEDs. With a few more title defenses, I would easily put him above in first place. The first time Anderson fought someone not past their prime/not old, he lost.

 

[NekMinnit]

I don't factor in PEDs cheats any more. But I'd put Weidman in and Whittaker ahead of Bisping

 

[jojoRed]

Im sorry but Jacare and Romero x2 alone are better than any of Silva's wins, no matter how amazing Silva was. He's never fought a fighter better than Jacare or Romero.

Definitely, no way there are 5 other fighters with more impressive mw resumes in ufc history. Wouldn't put Bisping on that list tho, and probably not even Hendo. Both Romero and Weidman have more wins over elite fighters and longer periods of dominance in the ufc mw division.

Honestly I'd say he could be the UFC MW GOAT.

Anderson is an established popper.

Walked through Romero lol wtf you Romero haters are delusional as fuuuck

Romero dropped him wobbled and had him out on his feet for the entire 2nd half of the fight.

Whitaker didn’t beat Yoel I’m that rematch he probably got the bogus w but Yoel whooped his ass

Yeah I guess that all would matter if Yoel made weight which he didn't so fuck off, mate.

 

[Gluhov]

they should give him a special belt for beating a physical monster like Romero twice in a row.
