More impressive resume? (GSP/Silva/Jones)

Definitely Jones. His competition is at the very least comparable to GSP's but wins more impressively.

Aldo should be in this discussion btw. Guys like Edgar, Faber, and Mendes are as good as any other.

Agree, would probably have more votes than Silva right now.

These 3 generally are talked about in GOAT discussions the most though which is why i chose just them. (well and Fedor)

Aldo i agree is in the same class.

I took that all into account but still have GSP ahead due to context of when the resume of fighters fought the champs.

Yeah I'm kinda struggling.

Its always been GSP for me in this department, and rather easily.

But Jones resume is outstanding as well. He made previous champs Rampage and Shogun tap, gave Lyoto a brutal loss.

And still is beating the elite of his division, DC, Gus, Glover etc.
 
This has always been GSP for me, but now after beating DC I'm giving it to Jones.

But in all honesty GSP's resume is just as impressive.

Thing is Jones is still going to add to his also.
 
Jones. LHW hasn't been deep during his reign, but has the strongest title challengers with the best lists of wins. Jones has now beat the best of the last & current generation, like GSP also did.
 
GSP and JONES are so far ahead of Silva's hand fed tailor made fights this isn't even a debate.

Yep, by far.

You're out to lunch, bud.

Not even debatable that you can say at least GSP is close, in terms of resume but I am sure you have a delusional bias against GSP, to make a comment as such.

Too many natural LW's on his resume for him to be close to Jones.
 
Gsp for me but i do think Jones will pass that in the next couple of years
 
I automatically clicked Jones in the poll but taking another look at the GSP one and it's very close.
