Hey I like Toney a lot,,, but he has not earned a seat at the table.
Nobody active in the division is yet....
They all need to hold the belt for at least a few fights for all time great status...
Tony, Khabib, even Connor could be up there someday
Love watching all of them fight
The Greatest Lightweight of all time will not have a unanimous decision loss to Michael Johnson
You won't find anyone and does that mean he is the goat at lightweight? Belts don't mean anything anymore so if we can all agree on that I think it's safe to say he is the greatest lightweight of all time.
Even if he didn't have a broken arm in that fight, he still would have the best resume at lightweight. Let that sink in. Now go sit in a corner and eat your cereal

The best MW got aubmitted by a guy with a losing record.
The greatest WW got knocked out by a TUF winner.
The greatest FW got tapped by some nobody.
The greatest FLW got ragdolled by Brad Pickett.
RDA: Cowboy(2), Henderson, Pettis, Diaz
All top 5 at the time.
Lost to Johnson, imo lost to Castillo, and imo would've lost to Lee had Lee not had staph.. bit at the least, Lee exposed what Castillo and Johnson did. Which is, Tony even though a college wrestler, has no wrestling mma skill set when compared to those like Castillo and Lee.. who are no on the level of Khabib, Gillespie, and a few others at 155. Khabib has a 20+ win streak at 155, that resume outweighs any other currently in the weight class.You won't find anyone and does that mean he is the goat at lightweight?

Everyone? Khabib hasn't lost yet, Bopo, Benito, Gillespie, Israel, Till, Inoue, Johns, Mina, Ortega, Deiveson, O'Mallet, Menga, Costa, Giles, Ledet, and I could continue on with fighters in the UFC alone, who are undefeated with over 10 fights.. even Rickson retired undefeated. Know your history of MMA and stop comparing it to boxing.Everyone loses in MMA, this isn't boxing.
The winner of Tony/Khabib has a claim to being the LW GOAT, no one has ever gone on a win streak with several top 10 wins like they have.
Don't you think he needs to beat the undefeated lightweight and champ?
Once the dust settles between these three you'll have your answer.
