One loss, or 3 losses when your past your best doesn't take away 10 years of domination. If Fedor isn't the greatest of all time I'd like to know who legitimately deserves it. Fedor has the best resume, with guys like Nog right behind him, and also the fights he was in were always exciting. Even if he lost 3 fights while in his prime, and still got all the other wins, etc I don't even see how he wouldn't be the ATG. Guys like GSP have lost. Silva is a good fighter and should be ranked as one of the best, but his resume can't compete, Nogs lost plenty (even in his prime). After Cain's win over Lesnar he was talked about as being greater than Fedor!!! LOL! This is how rediculous people are. I will say JDS could do it depending on the level of competition he could face.
atsch Sit down before you hurt yourself, noob. I agree on all counts. Eight minutes and a half worth of domination in his prime. Theres nothing fluke about this either and against a guy that had more losses than wins, thats worse than loosing to a top rated fighter. This content is protected [yt]zCBzS2T-j-E[/yt]
After all the years you've been here you should know better than to feed trolls. No wonder this sub-forum has gone to the dogs.
Bit hard to call him a steroid cheat per se...But the bulk of his career was in PRIDE where he could use drugs freely. And its common knowledge Hendo's been on TRT for the best part of a decade. May be more. The reality is Bobdicky doesn't have a point. 3 pages later he's still repeating his strawman as he's unable to refute simple facts. Typical mindless Zuffa schill.
This is 2012, and Monson and Rizzo are C level fighters. Ali won the rematch, lost his last two fights. Iron Mike was 39, inactive. Sugar Ray was 44 years old.. They didn't gloss their ATG records over with two cans, and they weren't over the hill by 33 years of age. You want to know something else? Each boxer you listed lost dead smack in the middle of their careers.. No different from Anderson Silva :deal Their are so many holes in your arguments, it's like open season.
Mate its pure toilet. This place used to be awesome. Now its equally as bad as Shitdog but with a tinier percentage of the footfall.
Your reaching bro. Again you forgot to mention Ali's last two fights which he lost to Holmes and Berbick, or did he rematch them after retiring? You also forgot to mention that Fedor dominated in three sports and was GOAT in two sports. Fight wise, Fedor has racked up more fights in all his combat career than probably ten UFC fighters combined. Its not only age but the number of fights that can put strain on a body. Well if a fighter has half of the UFC ATG HW heads, Pride heads, and other champions from other promotions and regions then you would think that he wasnt glossing over. Even fighters that are thought to be CANS like HMC or Zulu were good fighters, HMC was a legit and dangerous K-1 fighter and HMC was at the time a 15-0 record fighter. Fedor didnt get beat by these cans either unlike Silva. [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Holmes"][/ame] Their losses wasnt as regular or as consistent as Anderson. It was only really after switching to UFC that Anderson's record suddenly went better. Anderson was getting schooled by Pride CANS.
