He’s always been humble
He’s being honest. He knows his career will never live up to perfection. He literally could have picked anyone but picked Khabib:
“He had a perfect career, perfect, he’s on the top. The way I see it when you say greatest of all time you have to wait until their career is over,” St-Pierre said to MMANews about Nurmagomedov. “It’s sad to say but a lot of fighters I feel tend to (tarnish) their legacy a little bit because they hang there too long. For me, the greatest of all time is someone who left behind a great legacy. If you stay too long past your prime in a sport like basketball it’s not too bad. In a sport like full-contact fighting, boxing, MMA, or kickboxing you get punched in the head, it’s very dramatic, and the outcome of a loss is much more serious than it is in another sport.
Khabib never got knocked out by T-Rex arms
GSP starts the conversation in the media and let fans finish it. This comment gets folks riled up and screaming how much better he is than Khabib.
Hey Jack I just talked to Khabib. He says you should stop reposting old threads or he’s going to have a chat with you in the tub.
Yeah. He’s very humble. He would never proclaim himself the greatest. He accomplished so much more than Khabib. Being unbeaten is a piece of the puzzle but it has to be the ONLY thing that matter in order to put Khabib at the top. I don’t see it that way. You clearly put that above any and all other points.
Imagine what people would say about Khabib if he tapped to strikes against a journeyman who spent his career a weight division below him in his physical prime.
How can you compare Khabib who never even got scratched to that?
Georges knows this.
Khabib didn’t beat multiple world champions. He didn’t do rematches. He didn’t move up a division. He missed weight. There are a lot of things he probably could have done that he didn’t. The only argument you have is unbeaten. That’s it. There are so many more pieces to the puzzle in most peoples minds. You have your opinion. It’s not the general consensus though.
I believe they probably did some MMA sparring in secrecy just to see who would win and Khabib beat him easy.
Certainly. Of course this happened. Khabib probably matrixed him like Silva did to Forrest.
Put a poll up as a thread. Include Anderson, GSP, Jon Jones, Mighty Mouse and Fedor. We can see if I’m right or not.
So Rocky Marciano is the Goat Boxer cause he was undefeated… That guys logic…
lol a thread.
I just posted a poll with 500 thousand votes
Right? Odd that no expert has him in the top 5.
We already did this! It wasn’t even a P4P poll. The UG doesn’t even think Khabib is the 155 GOAT. That title belongs to BJ.
Khabib barely even has an argument to be the best LW ever. Moreless the outright GOAT.
