I used to rank GSP over Silva, but it’s not logical.

[aali14]

Winning dominantly and not losing > Spectacular finishes but loses fights

Fighting clean > Fighting on PED's then looking like shit ever since USADA

 

[unfinishable]

I said prime Anderson. The GOAT never lost in his prime.

Your pathetic, always has to lie to try to make Anderson look better.
Let's take a look at the ages before throwing "prime" around
Anderson lost to Luis Azeredo at 25 years old
Anderson lost to DAIJU TAKASE at 28 years old
Anderson lost to RYO CHONAN at 29 years old
Anderson lost to YUSHIN OKAMI at 30 years old

GSP lost to Matt Hughes at 23 years old
GSP lost to Matt Serra at 25 years old

At the same age GSP lost to Serra, Silva lost to Azeredo in some small org.
I think you meant in his roid prime he never lost, that I can agree with

the anticipation before ea fedor and anderson fights prove they're the goats, even to this date. because of wc's it's tough to say who's #1 or #2.

The anticipation for GSP's fight were way greater than AS' and pretty much equal to Fedor. As a proof, GSP did far better pvp numbers than both and hes coming from a country with way, way less population than both.

of course. He has the right features to attract morons to watch his snoozefests.

[Cooliox]

Stopped reading after Jones is GOAT.

ditto

you are not a good contributor to these threads.

Why do you only show up to bash on the GOAT?
Go praise your top-10 hero. Celebrate his "okayness".

Finishing an opponent is overrated.

Example: Silva finished Chael sonnen. He got dominated for a half hour first.

GSP didn’t/couldn’t (semantics) finish Thiago Alves. But Alves took a beating.

I’m not telling you that GSP is better or worse, but I don’t believe your opinion she be formed just by finish rate

Finishes > Decisions.

There's no argument. The finish is the kill.

A Hail Mary triangle>sustained beat down

I guess we will agree to disagree

A Hail Mary triangle>sustained beat down

I guess we will agree to disagree

15/17 finishes (13 within 2 rounds) > 7 straight decisions (8/9 decisions)

 

[Rod Farva]

15/17 finishes (13 within 2 rounds) > 7 straight decisions (8/9 decisions)

Now you’ve shifted the argument from comparing finishes to decisions, to comparing resumes.

I’m not arguing resumes. I don’t agree with the opinion that finishes are always better than decisions.

I would take Khabib’s win over Edson instead of Silva’s win over Chael

 

[IloveTHIS]

Context is everything. You need to look at the fight as a whole, not just black and white finish or decision.

Finishes should count for more in general, but GSPs 50-45 over whoever should be weighted more than Anderson's sub of Chael, because Anderson got owned for literally 90% of the fight.

And then Anderson's KO win over Vitor should count more than GSPs 50-45

I would take any of Silva’s 12 other finishes over Khabib’s win over Edson.

 

[Rod Farva]

I think you missed the point.

 

[Dozer .]

I think you missed the point.

You are cherry picking one of Anderson’s finishes. 12 of his 13 finishes outweighs any GSP decision.
