Is Tyron Woodley the best 170'er we have ever seen?

[dipstickjimmy]

Woodley is arguably the greatest WW of all time.

My list:

1. GSP
2. Woodley
...
...
(rest are WAY down)
3. Demian Maia

So you seriously rate Maia ahead of Hughes on the all time UFC WW list?

 

[liverkick83]

gsp tapped to strikes against matt serra

since we bringing up old shit

What happened in the rematch ?

Hughes is #4. But yes, he did not fight the same level of competition. You can call him a pioneer but he wasn't an all time great.

Woodley destroys prime Hughes.

 

[I WILL CUT YOU]

This is just ridiculous

Nah, you're just a shitposting neophyte.

 

[Octupus Samurai]

Crushed Maia, and crushed Wonderboy twice.

His resume is basically as good as GSP's at this point.

Wtf...

 

[liverkick83]

GSP looked better against Bisping than he did against Johny

Prime juiced Hendrix was a beast

 

[Money509]

Hes severly underrated because he took a certain approach to nullify two specialists. He beat two guys at their own game which is very impressive. Wonderboy was basically a living legend on here before he fought woodley.

Woodley can beat any WW in history

he's got a good resume but nah not by a longshot. shame he's up there in years too.

Still a fan tho war Woodley

 

[Ying Li]

He's the most boring 170 champ ever.

 

[superpunch]

His career isn’t as good as Hughes and GSPs. It will never be as good either because he’s already old and will be on his way out soon.

Is he a better fighter though? Absolutely. Prime Tyron beats prime GSP.

[Sansnom]

Prime GSP would have mauled Tyron

Prime GSP is current GSP

I like Wood. He's defend as a champ should (against #1s) and stands up for himself. At the same time his fighting style is not my taste. - after all - I have always forwards cardio freak wild men as my favs - so I have mixed feelings. He certainly has a lot of work to do before being GSP level - like 6 more defenses. I would not miss him but I respect him.

 

[nintey]

He's good, but Rory absolutely outclassed him. It wasn't a case of being caught like Serra vs GSP. He'd have to go on a long long run to be considered one of the best. Right now he's a lot like Bendo was at LW. A good champ, but lots of close wins.

Whatcha smoking at this time Tyrone . I mean really Shishhh

 

[MMAandBOXINGfan]

No hes not the best we've seen. Also I hate how people always have to throw in the tapped to strikes shit with GSP. He probably took more clean direct strikes to the fkn face without going out than any others who have tapped due to strikes....He only turned to tap after the ref jumped in to stop the fight. So technically the fight wasn't stopped due to tapping from strikes it had already been waived off. Shogun SHOGUN tapped from strikes and no one would ever ever in a million years disrespect that guy or assume hes a pussy for tapping. Obviously GSP isnt Shogun, but if Shogun tapped from strikes how can anyone truly blame any other fighter for tapping.

then you realized rory missed every punch in that gif

 

[Cela84]

He's basically the Welterweight Tim Sylvia. Fights in a style that will win the fight, but anger the audience.

 

[DaveHilly]

No. He's put on maybe the three worst consecutive performances by a person holding a belt ever.
