Where are Rumble and Gustafsson in all-time great list?

[spacetime]

Obviously but since you can't time travel you can't give Rumble credit for winning UFC 1.

Do you know what a hypotethical is?

I only know what hypothetical is not hypotethical.

 

[Merman]

No. I think Rumble could very well have put Royce Gracie to sleep.

With the typical skillset now but not back then...I'd say he'd have trouble against a Pat Smith or Shamrock...either one.

Clearly not. It means putting them into a different era. Nothing more, nothing less.

Ken Shamrock wasn’t even a wrestler

 

[Sweater of AV]

Might take some time to find them.

No way! How many guys from UFC 1 - 3 would take Jones to a disputed decision?

 

[bubbleboyjones]

"hypotethical" isn't a word.

Let's see,

Top 10 in LHW only

JBJ
DC
Chuck
Shogun
Page
Lyoto
Hendo
Randy
Tito
Wandy


Nope, not even on the list at 205.
pound 4 pound ?
Forget it.

This again lmaoo. How is chuck over Page and Shogun? Chuck is the most loved fighter on this forum for sure, this is like the 30th list I've seen with Chuck over Page and I just don't see how

 

[Fight Professor]

Jones
DC
Shogun
Rampage
Chuck
Hendo
Wand
Machida
Tito
Couture
--------------------
Evans
Griffin
Gus

Rumble would be even lower due to the short duration of his LHW career.

 

[HaulParris]

Tied for number three Fiddy

 

[spacetime]

Jones
DC
Shogun
Rampage
Chuck
Hendo
Wand
Machida
Tito
Couture
--------------------
Evans
Griffin
Gus

Rumble would be even lower due to the short duration of his LHW career.

I'm asking pound for pound

 

[B-Man]

They're not even in discussion and no they are not near Shamrock's level.

 

[wilKO]

Top 500 p4p all time list.

 

[Fight Professor]

I'm asking pound for pound

Gus is a big LHW in the second heaviest division. He would be ranked much lower than at LHW.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Cormiers best wins at LHW (I don't count an old Anderson on a few days notice). What place in an all-time great list would have these two gentlemen? Gus lost all big fights of his career. Major choker. Rumble a little bit better. Fight IQ of a rock.

Are they better than Ken Shamrock if you take opposition into account?

Um

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

All-time LHWS, I'd say:

1. Jones and by some margin
2. Tito
3. DC
4. Shogun
5. Frank, Chuck or Wand

Rumble and Gus are further down the list, but if they were around in a non-Jones era, could have at least been champs at some point.

 

[KID Yamamoto]

They are only GOAT LHW's if you ignore every org except the UFC.
Pride LHW's shit on them resume wise.

 

[Headkicktoleg]

Just above everyone who hasn't been caught with steroids.
