If Conor KOs Khabib & GSP, is he the GOAT?

[thobra]

Hard to compare with 10 years, 30 fights undefeated at HW. If Conor did, he would be top 3 goat.

 

[Goon Dog]

Fighters fight.
Winners win.
Contenders win titles.
Champions defend titles.
Legends consistently defend titles.
The GOAT does something to differentiate himself from other legends (multiple WC's, longevity, sheer dominance etc).

To even enter this discussion, Conor needs to start fighting again and work his way up. Until then, he's just an armored car chaser.

 

[Slaptastic]

If you stopped making threads about imaginary scenarios, you'd be my GOAT.

Nice match up. lol. Looks like the bear is going to take his back.

Nice match up. lol. Looks like the bear is going to take his back.

And invade him like he's Poland.

 

[myjohnson9]

He only needs to win 30 fights in a row 8 of them against former champions... and another 10 top 10 wins and he’ll be there

 

[Rust Cohle]

He is already the pound for pound GOAT

 

[Grapplefest]

What's the point in discussing hypothetical questions that have little to no chance of happening? If Cody Mckenzie guillotined Jacare and Maia he'd also be the GOAT

 

[Krixes]

Both would be called bums and hand-picked for Conor...

 

[Rizzo]

Come on. Excuses.

You can make up that nonsense about anyone. Oh, all GSPs guys were cut from the UFC. Cro Cop got KOd by an NFL dude, so Fedor's best wins mean nothing. Ridiculous post modernism.

Except GSP and Fedor have both done something Conor never has...defended a title. There’s a popular saying “you aren’t really the champion until you defend your title”. So yeah, maybe someday when Conor is an actual champion then we can discuss GOAT talk.

 

[x__stylez__x]

No.

 

[Benoitthegr8]

People only say his wrestling and BJJ are below average because his striking is incredible and they need to find some fault with him. If he had average striking, people would say that his wrestling is average and his BJJ is fantastic.

Or his TDD is so good we don’t get the opportunity to see his sub-par grappling, see Mendes and Diaz 1 fights to support this theory.

 

[Kirill Chernikov]

In his weight, yes

BUT

true GOAT can only be HW

 

[Datura]

Conor has nothing for GSP. Are you drunk?

 

[Unfinished Sentenc]

no sorry he still lost to nate aka gatekeeper

 

[Paynebringer]

If a meteor hit earth will we all survive..? Make thread when Conor as a actual mma fight announced f*k your fantasies..

 

[dangerousD]

He won't fight either so it is irrelevant.

Conor vs Diaz III next

 

[Deleted member 499399]

I would be very impressed if he did this but not enough to be considered goat.
All the guys who are in goat discussions defended thier belts multiple times.
Connor is a great fighter but he cherry picks fights.
He's not in the same league as guys like GSP, Fedor, Jones,Silvia ,Johnson who were consistently fighting the best in thier weight class.

 

[JokerOfThePack]

Suppose that plays out to be Conor's next 2 fights. Does that make him the GOAT?

No he must beat middleweight Champions, move up to face Jon Jones in the first ever snort off match and then he must beat Federer at Tennis.

Until then, not impressed

 

[L0ki]

Fuck no.

If he came back, beat GSP, Woodley, Khabib, Nasty Nate, Kevin Lee, T-Ferg, Edgar, Ortega, rematched Holloway and Aldo, RDA, and a few others, he would be in the running.

He wouldn't be GOAT but he would be in the running.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Pretty sure He isn't worried about being the GOAT... as long as he was cashing those multi-million dollar checks.
