What makes one "Greater" than Fedor?

[D241]

Are you waiting on me Mertvaya? I wasn't trying to fuck up the back and forth rotation between us. Just wanted to give you a chance to reply and post your top 10 GSP wins before I post my top 10 Fedor wins.

So Shats, after you provided your list of things GSP has done, and then I pointed out the things GSP has done, where do you achievements nustand in terms of who is greater, GSP or Fedor?

If GSP, can you give a shorter explanation as to what specifically makes him greater? Thanks.

GSP. He fought guys with modern day talent, Fedor fought old school talent. GSP also spent far less time losing fights than Fedor did.
GSP that's just my opinion and i don't think anyone is right or wrong in this argument. Just answering what makes a fighter greater if GSP's achievem

 

[ShatsBassoon]

If GSP's achievements don't then nothing does.

Fedor is the greatest ever and there is no comparison. If anyone wants to debate this at length with me, please feel free to inquire about it. You will not win.

Great thread D241

How about we list the their top 15 "top 10" wins? Oh wait, you can't, Fedor doesn't have that many.

The list I provided is not really opinion, it is based on which fighters had top 10 status when they fought GSP/Fedor.

"But lets not use a 3rd party opinion for our own opinion, meaning in a debate with you, I'd rather go off your opinion of who the best 10 fighters were.

That being said, please list GSP's top 10 wins of his career. I will do the same with Fedor."


Top 15 is fine with me. I'll compare my opinion of who Fedor's top 15 opponents were, and you compare your opinion of who GSP's top 15 opponents were.

I think I'm being fair. The list you posted had impressive names no doubt, but I highly doubt you have Pete Spratt(as bad ass and underrated as he was) rated #1 over the other guys. I'm just asking for your opinion of GSP's top 10, or now top 15 opponents.

It's not about their "biggest wins", it's about who they fought and what their opponents were ranked at the time they fought. Spratt was a top 10 WW when GSP fought him.

The top 10 biggest wins is pretty suggestive, while Top 10 Ranked wins are not.

 

[D241]

I understand why you're skirting around naming the fighters.

I think we both know. GSP's "ranked" opponents, or GSP's "best wins", neither would be able to beat the men Fedor beat.
The men Fedor beat, are far more difficult to beat, then the men GSP beat.

I highly doubt you disagree with that. I cannot comprehend how one puts more emphasis on 170lb "ranked" men vs heavyweight men who could dismantle the 170lb guys GSP fought and decisioned won against.

Can you explain how decisioning "ranked" 170lb men trumps Fedor beating not as highly "ranked" men who pose far more of a threat?
