Just last night a Conor fan was claiming he's the most versatile striker in mma. Greatest Featherweight of all time, best lightweight on the planet, could go all the way up to heavyweight and win all the belts, is going to beat RDA faster than Aldo because RDA is a bum, as well as acting like a rematch with long time champion Jose Aldo is pointless because the fight ended in 13 seconds.
Don't get me wrong. He's a very good striker, and may very well be a top lightweight as well, but the idiots running around here acting like he's the best fighter to ever put on 4oz gloves really do ruin the experience for everyone else.
I think some Conor fans just enjoy a bit of trolling when it comes to saying things like he can go up to heavyweight, I'm surprised anyone would get annoyed at a remark like that that is clearly a joke.(Beating Lawler is not out of the question though)
As far as being the most versatile striker, he's certainly in the conversation, Wonderboy, TJ, Aldo, Jones, MM would be big contenders also, but whoever you think it is, it could hardly be classed as over the top to have the opinion that Conor is.
Is he the greatest FW of all time, depends what you mean by the greatest?... If we're comparing Conor and Aldo's FW career's in terms of the number of top wins and longevity, then Aldo wins, but if you view that question as who is the best(highest level) FW fighter of all time then it's quite simple, Conor beat Aldo when both men where in their physical prime, so again it could not be over the top to suggest that.
Will he beat RDA in 13 seconds or less, highly unlikely, but I do consider RDA to be just ever so slightly lower quality overall to Aldo, and 11 of Conor's 19 wins have been KO's inside 2 minutes, so even though I predict Conor will win with a 2nd round KO, he does have a history of fast finishes.
The Aldo rematch is 100% worthy, but I for one am glad it's not likely to happen until the end of the year as I was getting a bit tired of that rivalry.
