An updated greatest all time LW list?

[The Legendary Scarface]

Feels like it's been a long time since this was discussed. There's been a lot of shuffling around and legacy stuff at LW in the last few years..
Khabib's picture perfect walk off, the continued elite showings and steady improvement of the Justin and Dustin's, the powerful emergence of Du Bronx, etc...

Here's a couple lists I found online, these are as of right now:
Tapology


Fight Matrix


I have a very hard time keeping Eddie above Dustin maybe even Justin at this point. I also am not sure if Benson cracks my top 5 as of right now.

So much has changed. What do u guys think?

Khabib over everyone ... check


Dustin? Never even was champion.
BJ Penn next.

Dustin Poirier should be below the top 10
never made champion

Gaethje just beat Poirier, decisively, so he should be above Dustin

Poirier beat Gaethje decisively too.... This wasnt their 1st fight. They are 1-1 and Dustin has the deeper resume... They have a few common opponents and Justin only performed better against Michael Johnson.

Yeah Khabib and BJ are locks. After them two, it gets murky though.

Even though Dustin has never been champion, he has better resumes than former LW champs like RDA, Eddie and Benson .

 

[Mammothman]

Eddie Alvarez is too high.

 

[octagonation]

Why is benson henderson so low in the rankings

 

[Egészségére!]

Obviously highly subjective but imo Conor doesn't have a better LW record than Gaethje or Cerrone. Yes he was champ but he is 1-1 UFC LW, the rest were mostly low level regional. Justin has beaten 6-7 ranked UFC lightweights & a much higher level before that &, like Conor, Cerrone has beaten Eddie but unlike Conor he also has Ws over Benson, Oliviera, & a dozen other very respectable LWs.

Conor's maybe 13-15

BJ should have retired after Nick Diaz beat his fucking ass all over the octagon.

 

[Chomsky Honk]

Where's Gomi???

 

[Local Plata]

Fucking LMAO at Eddie Alvarez and Dustin Poirier.

[newcastleman]

I'd have Melendez, Gomi and Aoki in my top 16. Maybe Josh Thompson as well.

How about Jens Pulver.......he deserves hespect.

Relationship time wise, he was long term & Khabib was a one night stand.

 

[ThePimblettEra]

Weak division.

 

[Cptn1NSAN0]

Sherk needs some love he only lost to BJ and Frankie at LW

 

[mjfan23]

I stoped reading after seeing Dustin at 3 in the all time list !!

 

[Sweater of AV]

Lol at making a thread to post Tapology rankings.



New fans are great.
