THE GOAT can NEVER be someone who gets destroyed in their prime or knocked out!

[AnotherOldGuy]

I don't think the GOAT can be someone who has tapped to strikes. That's my only gripe when talking about someone who is GOAT.

Consequences of not tapping to strikes is far worse than the consequences of not tapping to a choke or arm lock. Which is why several doctors groups (CMA and BMA for instance) are trying to ban boxing and MMA, but no one is trying to ban judo or BJJ.

Which means if tapping disqualifies from GOAT discussion, tapping to chokes and locks is worse than tapping to strikes, because you're tapping to things with far smaller long term consequences. You can be instantly revived from being choked out with no short term or long term consequences. Modern medicine can put your arm back together if you don't tap to a bar, and you're back in business in six months. But there's nothing modern medicine can do if you're received head blows onto an already concussed brain, and the problems will last the rest of your life.

Tapping to strikes is the easiest to justify form of tapping, at least for anyone with any medical knowledge at all (again, ask a doctor which is worse).

People really showing their stupidity and biases.

THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME CANNOT BE SOME FUCK who lost and got destroyed many times in their prime or before an obvious physical decline.

Yes the GOAT of a division can be that but the GOAT OF ALL TIME MMA cannot be. you must have a major bias to say otherwise

This that post mayweather era influence line of thinking

You cant be in wars & almost lose then comeback

"You gotta be skilled" meaning no brawlers

You cant lose of course

And you damn sure cant have gotten knocked out in your so-called prime even if you had 1 of the most dominate or prestigious title runs before or after in your sports history & beat the complete best of the best but happened to take that L to a fighter they all have dominent wins over

Anyone can get caught with a strike and KOed.

This thread is retarded.

Everyone loses. No big deal. Look at the opponents and not just whether or not they lost.

Sometimes Serena Williams gets knocked out of Wimbledon.
Sometimes Babe Ruth strikes out.

It’s all part of competition

excuses. LOL

roid/canderson fans are a joke they make shit up. Not in his prime when he lost 3x and then not in prime when he lost 4/5x. i mean get real

I'm not an Anderson fan I'm super anti roids. I don't really understand what loses you're referring to if you mean the Weidman loses I consider that within his prime, if you mean the loses before he went on his streak I don't consider that his prime.
