You seriously don't think BJ is talented? He's the first American to ever win the Mundials right after receiving his black belt (from Nova Uniao no less) after 3.5 years. You do realize the average person takes like 8 years to do the same thing right, let alone win a world championship? Top that off with all the ungodly athletic feats he can do from scratching his ear with his foot, pulling off a jailbreak only using his legs, the 3 foot pool jump, going airborne from a double leg but still stuffing the TD, stuffing an entire first round of TDs as a fat 165er from one of the p4p greats in GSP when no other WW has been able to do so. Sorry but your average fighter can't even pull off one of those things.
You also can't extrapolate any of that shit from just looking at a record, which is the basis of your argument. Is he a bit overrated? Yes. But even the most delusional haters like TonyCPA can't even say BJ was just average on the talent department; not unless they're misinformed. I also don't understand how you think BJ did anything but not train hard. As much as it pains me to say as a huge BJ fan, were you not around to see Penn-GSP II primetime? Lifting rocks, surfing, Dana even calling him out on the show. Burrito Penn? Sorry but you sound like you're misinformed and though I'm being a bit presumptuous, I think your joindate confirms that.
