"Do you watch boxing TS"Did you ever watched kickboxing TS?
Mousasi beat a semi retired Musashi on his penultimate fight after he went 0-2 against National competition
Musashi was just a mid lvl guy who japan had to put all his hopes on him to become a big deal as a hometown hero at the HW division,this is why he received more than 10 robbery judging decisions,pretty much all his big wins are really huge bullshit
Kyotaro Fujimoto isnt a kickboxing legend and he isnt even close to be better than a PRIME Gohkan Saki,also his loss to Kyotaro was BS,but i doubt you ever saw it,you probably just looked records on wiki and started to supposed thing
Kyotaro best wins were:
- an extra round decision over mediocre Mighty mo(who was 0-4 before their fight)
- KO win over Manhoef
-KO win against 234 yr old past primed Peter Aerts
While Saki:
Bouzidi,Spong(KO),Kemayo(TKO),Ghita twice(1 KO),Karaev,Magomedov,past primed Sefo,Corbett
-------------------------------------------
Mousasi is amazing and probably a top 5 best MW striker but prime Anderson Silva still ahead him
"Muh stoic jab"
Mousasi sucks and is boring.
I do actually think Mousasi might well have beaten Anderson standing although of course he would have potential to out grapple him as well so I wouldn't be supprised if he went for takedowns. Against opponents who weren't panicing Silva's matrix like boxing simply vanished and when he did come forward he looked very hittable.
There is of course more to being a striker than beating other great strikers, Anderson was superb at exploiting his advantage against poor to decent strikers, definitely better than Mousasi at landing big counters.
God I love Mousasi fans.
It got sad when the Penn, Diaz and Rousey fans gave up. I am glad the Mousasi fanboys (Mooseknucklers?) Are here to hype up their underachiever to the moon and beyond.
Its cute, they act like hes the GOAT or something but he never beat an elite fighter in the UFC. Even his weidman win is shady as fuckGod I love Mousasi fans.

I think Mousasi IS an underachiever.Underachiever.. funny coming from some nobody on a forum. Didn't win a UFC belt so the UFC-only fan says he's no good. The usual.

I agree with most of this,but in those final days,the UFC just didn't want him to receive a title shot,which was a reason of him leaving.Shit, I love my brain too much to fight for a living. I leave that to the human cockfighters. But no one cares what I do! This is about Mousasi and his phenomenal abilities, which somehow never translate into wins against top MWs (except against the Ghost of Chris Weidman).
And hey...if The Moose is as good as his boosters say he is, what can you call him except an underacheiver? Since apparently he is better than Anderson Silva, despite never even managing to fight for a title in the UFC.
I mean, Mousasi is really good, he just isn't any better than like 5 other guys at MW who can (and usually do!) beat him on any given night. Basically he isn't Silva good, he isn't Jones good, he isn't GSP good, he isn't Fedor good. Hell, he isn't even Machida good.

I hope so. Even if he doesn't always fight to his potential,i like him as a fighter and tune in to see his skills.I want it to be clear that I don't blame Mousasi for jumping ship considering the shit show that the MW division has become. He will probably get to become champ now and jump back in for an immediate shot in a couple of years.
"Do you watch boxing TS"
I do actually.
Semi retired musashi?still a great win
Mid level?How can a mid level beat roufus ray sefo, karave,mercer,greco?yea Bullshit decisions
Saki wasn't in his prime? He was on 18 fights wins streak before he lost to remy then won against bunk and spong.
Soukup and musashi were all great wins(kyotaro)
And how is the gokhan win is bullshit?it was a close fight.he didn't get robbed.but I do agree that Gokhan resume is better.Saying he's not a legend is bit ridiculous
lol noI think he might have been capable of out striking Andy in his prime, I would have loved if that fight had happened back in like 2012
