Jake Shields, the 2nd best 170 #er of all time?

I think so. He has a better resume than hughes for sure.

Wins over condit, lawler, okami, daley, hendo, mayhem, maia, woodley, charuto, pyle, thompson, sakurai, kampmann, akiyama, herman, menne etc... myhughes

Beat condit and condit in the same night.

A lot of those wins at middleweight.

What a beast. Phone Post 3.0

Pass the spliff, OP. Phone Post 3.0

Condit and okami in same night. Fuck you ug. Phone Post 3.0

100%...his resume is better than Hughes and his run lasted 5 years. Phone Post 3.0

And my god not my hughes. Phone Post 3.0

He destroyed Condit and then later that night he killed Carlos Phone Post 3.0

He beat Condit AND Condit in the same night?!?! Was this some tournament with Carlos and his brother? Phone Post 3.0

Definitely top 4 or 5 for sure Phone Post 3.0

Rather than just disqualifying OP's post, why don't you qualify your comment with a well thought out response other than the "I find Shields boring so ge sucks" schtick.

Here is my thought: Shields and Hughes could be tied. Shields could beat many who Hughes beat in his era and Hughes beat GSP once and Penn once. IMO, Shields has beaten a better caliber of opponent than Hughes overall and is a better fighter given his Middleweight accolades. Phone Post 3.0

Read a little more than op you geek. Phone Post 3.0

LOL no...beating an injured Hendo at 185 doesn't up your WW resume, he arguably lost to Maia and Woodley, and others were not in their prime, like Robbie.  He's very good though.

He was a solid eye poke away from beating GSP. Phone Post 3.0

My Hughes!! The ironing.

No one who has been so utterly manhandled as Shields was against Lombard can ever be considered one of the GOATs. That was embarrassing shit Phone Post 3.0

1 GSP, #2 Hughes Phone Post 3.0

The Lombard fight was definitely a poor showing, but also a bad matchup. Jake never quit and even had a tight choke in the closing moments. Not a career ruiner. Phone Post 3.0

Losses to Jake E., Lombard and Paul Harris. Split D wins that many thought he lost to Woodley and Maia AND the win over Carlos was in 2006, 7-8 years before Condit reached his prime.  And then theres the Mayem fight.lol  Sorry, at no point was Shields the second best WW in the world, let alone second best of all time!!

ALthough, there was that time I defintely thought he was the second best WW...... of the night.

Mayhem Miller almost choked him out. Shields gave him staph* and won on points. 









edit* Mayhem's claim

Neil McCauley - I think so. He has a better resume than hughes for sure.

Wins over condit, lawler, okami, daley, hendo, mayhem, maia, woodley, charuto, pyle, thompson, sakurai, kampmann, akiyama, herman, menne etc... myhughes
