Out of the GOATs, does Jon Jones have the best resumé?

That much is absolutely true. Thank you.

It's pretty hard to imagine someone topping it even if they were better just cause they aren't going to have so many legends to fight in a row.

Smith, OSP and Chael are his worst opponents since he fought Bader. Thiago Santos might not be the best opponent at first glance but he was undefeated at LHW going into that fight and actually was doing the best before he got hurt.

Jones fought Middleweights and guys from Pride past their prime. His resume is absolutely shocking compared to GSP

Why is it that we only get to pick the lowest weight class a fighter has ever competed at when we determine what weight they "actually" are? Why can't we say that Jones beat 13 heavyweights in Cormier, St. Preux, Sonnen, Belfort, Evans, Machida, Jackson, Rua, Bader, Matyushenko, Vera, O'Brien, and Bonnar, since they also had fights at 265?

If you don't care about PEDs, Jones absolutely has the best resume of anyone in MMA history, & I'm not even a fan (too much crazy extracurricular)

It's GSP 1st, and than him IMO

Regardless of his past indiscretions with PEDs.

Out of all the GOATs, I believe Jon Jones has the best resumé. He fought the toughest competition. More than Fedor, GSP, Anderson Silva, Mighty Mouse, Aldo or Khabib.

Also he can even cement even more if he becomes HW champion.

And this is coming from a huge Fedor fan.

Jon Jones notable wins:

Stephan Bonnar
Brandon Vera
Vladimir Matyushenko
Ryan Bader
Shogun
Rampage Jackson
Lyoto Machida
Rashad Evans
Vitor Belfort
Chael Sonnen
Alexander Gustafsson - 2x
Glover Teixeira
Daniel Cormier
Ovince Saint Preux
Anthony Smith
Thiago Santos
Dominick Reyes

Edit: Just to clarify this is not about GOAT talk or if he took PEDs. It's talking about who fought the toughest competition in their careers.

If it's about who's the GOAT, I'd choose Fedor.

I'd say so yes. The manner in which he dismantled those names is impressive.
The only tarnish on his legacy is PED's
