The best Fighters of all time
Or strongest, if you will.
Who you got?
Not sure about including Boxers, then it becomes a "relative to their sport" kind of thing.

Re: The best Fighters of all time
Okay but why is the selection between 3 mma legends and a greco-roman wrestler? what an odd one to throw in there...
edit: four mma guys

He just stands out from all non-MMA fighters the most
You think he'd get beaten too easily, or simply a matter of then others could be included?

Re: The best Fighters of all time
You've already set it up in a relative fashion... because if you were just looking for the best, you would have picked nothing but heavyweights.
There's 0% chance that most of those guys don't get destroyed by legit heavyweights.
You're not asking who the best fighter of all time is... you're asking... something else.

Well, at least regarding their weight class.
I didn't say strongest in the title for that reason. Different weight classes. But best indeed.

agreed
Jiu jitsu guys consider themselves fighters yet you dont have any of them on the list.
You should have just asked best MMA fighters of all time.

No... not best at all. Not even close.
If you put random heavyweights up against the best little 140 lb shits that are champions, the little 140 lb shits would get destroyed.
Best is... who beats everyone else in a fight? Certainly no little runts that are weighing 140-160 lbs, lol.
Change that word "regarding" to 'relative to'... then we can have a discussion. But you aren't interested in who the best overall is. You're interested in discussing who has the most skill relative to their size... but that's not the same thing as best. Like literally not even close. They aren't the same discussion.

You don't think Fedor would destroy Anderson Silva 100 times out of 100? Is this a joke?
This isn't semantics.
You are interested in discussing skill relative to size, you aren't interested in discussing best.
Have your thread.

Verticle?
Re: The best Fighters of all time
Jon Jones the juicer as the best ever?
Not to mention his resume mainly consists of bloated MW's?
His resume isn't close to GSP or Silva.
People talk shit about HW being a weak division, but Jones has made a career in an even weaker division.
GSP is the GOAT.

Does Jones not have two dominant wins against Cormier (a guy who could/would be considered the GOAT if Jon didn't exist) ?
He's never been beaten. He's the most physically gifted mma fighter ever.
And you act like it's a joke for him to be considered the best? You are silly and delusional.

Re: The best Fighters of all time
Simmons25... you're correct, but also irrelevant. Best is pretty typically spoken of in terms of relative to weight class. Silva calls GSP the GOAT. I head GSP call might mouse the GOAT.
Everyone knows heavyweights would win against lightweights. You're not helping with anything.

Rampage and Gus are the only natural LHW's that he has beaten really.
Cormier is far better at HW. Granted, it is a great win. One of the few. He doesn't have two wins over Cormier, since he cheated, like he probably has for the majority of his career. Not to mention, he got to cheat, and still fight in his last fight against Gus. No biggie, its Jones though. To be expected.
Realistically, Jones is a bad matchup for Cormier. Is he a better fighter than Cormier? Well, one has been the LHW and HW champ, and only has one loss. Never a drug cheat too.
Meanwhile, the guy who has all the physical advantages, is too scared to go up to HW, and face guys where he won't have those advantages. How would Jones fair against Ngannou and Stipe? Big 265lbs guys who can take a shot and keep coming? Jones used to get injured in training from Overeem regularly. There is probably a good reason he doesn't move up to HW.

Re: The best Fighters of all time
Stipe would pretty much destroy anyone on that list. The loss to DC was a fluke, that's why DC won't give him a rematch. Stipe just had a kid so he wasn't fully into the fight. What's comical is that Stipe's first passion is being a fire fighter. MMA is way down on his list. He was kicking everyone's ass who's primary passion is MMA and he was doing it on their best day. Imagine if he actually took it seriously.
