Media ''The Greatest Welterweight of All Time''

I love Karmarty as much as the next guy but he only defended his belt against 3 different people.

 

[HavokHarmon]

GSP :

- Only 2 fights in the UFC, then offered a title shot that he lost.
- Only had to make 4 fights for another title shot that he immediately lost against a former LW.

Kamaru :

- Had to wait being 9-0 in the UFC to get a title shot.

This can’t be a serious post. GSP had a win over a top 20 guy in Spratt before even coming to the UFC and his first fight in the UFC was against a top 10 guy in Karo.

To get back to the title the 4 guys he beat were BJ, Sherk, Trigg and Miller. 3 of those guys were the current champions best defenses not including GSP himself. I’d say beating 3 top 5 guys really should get you back to the title, then and now.

Georges is not impressed.

We all know it’s still GSP. Don’t take the trolls seriously guys.

 

[Travis Alexander]

I’m just happy he was able to handle the stairs up to the stage with no issues. Hope his knees hold up on Saturday.

Dana is so salty and holds a grudge, he just can't let go of it.

I'm not even sure Usman is the 2nd best WW of all time, he might be, its a toss up with him and Hughes, people forget Hughes had a great run and has won double the amount of fights that Usman has. GSP 1st obviously.

He's not. It's Hughes by a lot. Usman is top 5 though.

GSP tapped to strikes. That automatically disqualifies him from being the GOAT.

Only two of his wins in that 9-0 were ranked

GSP: from an era where the ufc roster was small and reserved for the best. You would be fighting ranked guys almost immediately upon getting in.

Usman: from the modern era with a bloated roster. The prerequisites of getting in now are lower than ever, so you'll have to do lower level work in the ufc and build up to fighting top comp.

GSP.

 

[DoctorTaco]

Gsp is Michael Jordan.
Usman is lebron.

Kamaru :

- Had to wait being 9-0 in the UFC to get a title shot.

You left out the part that it was his 8th UFC fight when he finally faced someone who was ranked top 10 at the time of the fight. It wasn't abnormal in GSP's time to rush guys. If Kamaru got a title shot 2 fights in, he probably would've lost to, he became a much better fighter over time. I actually think it's better they don't rush guys, let them develop. Kamaru had a few really boring fights, he became a much better striker & much more exciting fighter as he developed

Matt hughes

 

[Blayt7hh]

don't you guys remember when Usman was champ they were pushing this narrative hard

They were doing the exact same with Woodley

 

[Yellowcrab]

Oh, but it’s likely because Usman is black

I never said that and like you said it's because it was different eras : competition was much weaker during GPS' era, hence why you could get a title shot so quickly.

 

[Yellowcrab]

Matt Serra was a better fighter than Jose Caceres.

Imagine trying to compare Usman in his second fight only to GSP losing to a former LW in his fifteenth fight

 

[Yellowcrab]

Only two of his wins in that 9-0 were ranked

Timestamped :



But i guess you're just another statistical bot, hence why you can't understand the meaning of the word "context"

 

[Fukkup]

gps got crushed like a bug in his prime multiple times i dont care if he avenge the lost if you are goat you don't lose to a manlet in the 1st place!

Never once was gsp remotely crushed like a bug

 

[FriskyRandy]

If offered a title fight in his second fight only, Usman would likely have a title defense count well over 11. Just saying

But you're obviously too smart not to see that

You notice that no one likes you're idiotic posts, and people keep liking the posts where people insult your unintelligent post?

You just over using the same memes or pictures in your post doesn't make them right or intelligent. Your argument is absolutely retarded.

I don't care about likes but i do care about arguments (but you don't have any)

 

[Fedora Millionankles]

He may not be the greatest but at least he never tapped to strikes.

Wtf? Spoken like a true keyboard warrior that’s never seriously trained or competed in MMA. Thanks for exposing yourself.
