    Bones has some tough opponents out there like Machida, Henderson, Davis and a fully-fit Rua. If he beats all of them then moves up to heavyweight and does well, it could be him.

    Aldo doesn't have the same level of name-recognition fighters in his weight class. If Frankie Edgar loses at lw and drops down, that could be a fight to cement his greatness, but unless Aldo moves to light I don't see him getting enough good names on his res to become the GOAT, and I can't see Aldo being as dominant at lw, where there are many excellent fighters and many bigger guys.

    Ultimately, I think Fedor is the greatest and I think he still will be considered so in 5 years. I believe he is superior to Anderson and GSP, and I can see Bones losing at some point, either at heavyweight or if he becomes complacent at lightheavy and has his punch resistance tested too early by someone like Henderson or Machida.

    I'm struggling to pick. Fedors had an awful ending to his career. Anderson has had some downs but some great highs. GSP has been consistent and despite the losses, he avenged them but he has become very boring and not interested in fighting.

    yeah aldo is definitly more exciting than bones and sure as athletic probably even more athletic than bones. aldo could realy be a force in mma, when his record catches up with his talent.

    Do you just know a few phrases of Welsh that you use to **** with people or are you fluent because people who speak nearly dead languages like Welsh and Gaelic are highly interesting to me because one has to have a passion to learn a language when it serves no purpose in the modern world.

    Yes...I hate it when it reigns. Damn kings and queens falling from the sky create messy puddles everywhere.

    Wow.....I have made some stereotypical jokes about a nation that I actually like just to rile you but at least MY stereotypes are based on a bit of reality!:patsch

    For future reference Chempasillo, try to remember that England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales make up the United Kingdom.
