This is impossible to explain to people who have drawn their line in the sand.
It's incredibly obvious to anyone else.
After Serra, GSP won thirteen in a row, twelve of which were title fights in one of the toughest divisions of MMA. Do I have to explain why the fact they were title fights makes a difference? Every single long reigning champion has explained why holding the title is incredibly exhausting, including Anderson, who said it was like a ten ton weight on his back. To be fair, Jones has never said this, but he gets it taken away every couple of years because he's a cheating bastard.
I get that the Serra loss is the one thing you guys have to hang on to, and you'll try and use it to discredit GSP whenever you can. It was a bad loss. Nobody disputes this. However, it doesn't define GSP, except for the fact that he used that loss as motivation to prevent anyone else from ever beating him... And nobody else ever did.
I know I'm wasting time here. Nobody who keeps saying "taps to strikes" as an insult is likely to ever be reasonable.
GSP is one of the best fighters we have ever seen. Choosing the best of the best is too subjective and only children do it seriously, but for my money, if I had to pick one fighter in his prime to beat any other fighter in his weight class, there is NO question it would be GSP. Fedor is my favorite fighter and I consider him one of the best, but I'd definitely pick GSP. Fedor was very aggressive and fighting guys who could put you away in a second.
See, this is what’s funny about gsp nuthuggers
They’re quick at attacking other fighters n their records, but as soon as someone points out gsp shortcomings they turn into whiny pussies.
They can dish it out, but can’t take it.
If we’re talking about goat n look at everything, then guess what? We look at everything.
You can’t bring up Anderson losing early in his career n later on when he was almost 40 or fedor losing at 34 after being almost perfect, but then ignore gsp losing in his prime (almost 26) to a 9-4 lw.
You can’t act like 32 year old gsp was not in his prime, but then insist 34 year old fedor or 38 year old Anderson were.
Also you can’t question the level of competition guys like fedor or Anderson faced, but then act gsp faced top competition. Most of his opponents were one dimensional or natural lw. That’s why big majority had sub .500 records when they reached the top.
So yeah, don’t talk about ppl drawing lines in the sand or being unreasonable when you yourself are guilty of it
