I know some folks are willing to look passed his PED usage and label him the GOAT but what if he loses tomorrow?

Where do you think this places him ? Do you still think he is GOAT when he loses against a less experienced fighter which finally eliminates his physical advantages?
 
PED is a stain on his GOAT legacy. It is why people put GSP over him.
The truth is he hasn't looked like his GOAT verision since being of PED.
A lose doesn't do much. He is still regarded as the best lhw of all time. And top 5 p4p.
If he loses, unless he gets some super fight, he retires.
 
Gus was the same size but he beat him twice. However, it’s definitely true that he was a lot bigger than most of his opponents, and he’s definitely bigger than some legit HWs. He looked quite small though compared to Gane, so that could be used an excuse if he loses. All in all, does anyone think Jones has looked great in his last couple of fights? It’s not like he was facing truly elite opponents, so the excuse we can use is either that he’s out of his prime or he stopped using some PEDs.

To me it doesn’t matter if he gets KTFO ten times in a row - that doesn’t diminish his accomplishments in the past and he’s easily the LHW GOAT, and objectively amongst the overall GOATs. If you don’t believe this you are delusional - either delusional not giving credit for his wins, or delusional because you think your favourite fighter wasn’t also on PEDs.
 
He's well past his prime, so I wouldn't say it affects the legend of prime Jon Jones wrecking everyone.
 
Who cares? He still made cormier cry on live TV in front of his wife and kids. Still GOAT!

If you were the GOAT, and you lose, that doesn't lessen your GOAT status. Unless the guy who beat you has elevated to GOAT.
He doesn't have GOAT status due to PED, so I feel he can redeem himself if he wins the HW title clean , if not the LHW record is under big question mark.
 
If he get's KO'd though, Twitters gonna blow up with all the Jones haters
