Lawler has proven us wrong.

[EYEKICKFACES]

That's the thing, he didn't look that good to me. Looked like the same old Arlovski to me

Fair enough, he did have some "uh oh" moments, like in the Browne fight.

 

[CoffeeAndBeer]

Lawler will surpass Hughes as WW Goat number 2 behind GSP if he wins again.

Interesting....

Make the argument.

 

[MayhemMonkey]

the ironing

do you mean "irony"? lol

whats ironic about my post btw?(if that is what you meant? lol)

 

[Sigoff2]

Interesting....

Make the argument.

I don't have to make anything. He will continue to defend successfully amidst stiffer competition than either Hughes or GSP has faced.

Yea he did, but I still like him though.

 

[BJ@LW&WW]

i hate that people dont give lawler credit as champion because he doesnt win in completely dominant fashion. so what?

he's


still



winning.




against the best fighters the world has to offer

its ironic that youre debating something that you deem not debatable.
because you didnt see the irony, it becomes ironing.

The official record will not reflect what alot of ppl actually believe. But, over time the official record will become fact. I think he's a great fighter. Talented, and leaves it in the cage. He's also very respectful. I admire that about him. But, I believe he has not won all of his title fights.

Robberie Lawler

 

[Lanx]

Anyone whi dismisses 5th round lawler is a moron

 

[Perrichet]

War ROBbie

 

[Cooliox]

I'm waiting patiently for Nick Diaz VS Robbie Lawler 2.

 

[Amygdala]

Lawler's amazing. How narrow he's winning really tough fights shows how tricking incredible GSPs run was.

 

[tenniswhiz]

i mean
barely

He's trying to end guys who try to win rounds against him.
Even his opponents that try to put him away, first and foremost, always stick to a round-winning strategy.

 

[JC ATOM]

he's fun to watch. If you think his wins are questionable or not clear or devastating...well that's because he fought some good fighters that didn't ko him either.
fun to watch and i don't care if he's champ or not...it's a fun division with a few guys that are kind of evenish...let's see what wonderboy has to bring to the table

 

[Codpiece]

Yeah, bullshit judging aside, Lawler is the man.

Pretty much! He shouldn't be champ, but he's a great fighter and deserves plenty of credit for his resurgeance. I live that he just likes to fight, you can see it on his face.

 

[MusterX]

You serious?

He's got two defences that were seriously tough fights.

Robbie has the heart of a lion and is a legend but he's not overtaking Hughes in GOAT discussions.

Yea, Hughes defended the belt 7 times. 4 consecutive, then lost the belt, got the belt back and defended 3 more times. I don't think we can start talking about Robbie challenging Hughes for the #2 spot unless he continues to defend.

 

[UnTrust]

Lost to Hendricks, lost to Condit, was on his way to a UD loss to Rory. He's proven nothing besides the incompetence of the judges.

Pix out.

Lmao, he beat Hendricks twice and was robbed in the first fight. He finished Rory by caving his fucking face in, in what alternate universe could anyone consider that "on his way to a loss"? He literally finished the fight in devastating fashion. He beat Rory convincingly twice, broham.

With that said, the Condit fight was controversial with people on both sides thinking that their fighter won...it happens.

 

[MusterX]

i don't mean to take away from lawler but WW seemed to fall off as soon as gsp left. none the less robbie is a beast and deserves the strap.

I don't know about that, Welter is stacked. This list taken from the "Which Welter do you like best" thread.
