[quote]I hate arguments like this. Boxing, kickboxing, muay thai, and mma have such different metas that developed along with the rulesets that its hard to claim there is a single greatest fighter. Even within the sports, different styles and ways of going about your business mean theres no single greatest. Also, nobody is ever unbiased when talking about the goat. Ali, tyson, silva, gsp, mcgregor, etc etc. All of them are some of the best to fight, but none of them were perfect or went unbeaten.[/quote] Almost impossible to claim “the best” it’s subject to conditions, rules and opinion. Thai fighters have double the amount of bouts over most western boxers. You also have people like Pretty Roy Shaw and Lenny Mc Clean who were -blam!-ing monsters for underground and unlicensed boxing. It’s hard to find records of all those bouts. In terms of bias, I met and trained with GSP so I can say what a monster he was (and humble actually) I saw him destroy people and get destroyed by club level guys on the mat. I could rate him easily in the top 50 of all time (if not way higher depending on circumstance) Also I just love the discussion. It’s never an argument for me, just off topic and opinionated fun discussion.
