    He's jus trying knock him. Just goes to show he's grasping at straws.

    Damn, I give TLC a little slack and the moron just gets worse. I never said GSP was a legendary one punch KO artist. But that doesn't change the fact that he administered an unholy beating for 5 full rounds to Jon Fitch.

    Seriously, what part of that is hard to understand?

    And I think the GSP was just part of my justification for agreeing about Fitch being difficult to stop. I would suggest that 20 fights at 170 pounds against many dangerous fighters without every being KO'ed, submitted, stopped on cuts, etc. is pretty solid evidence.

    He just has certain fighters that he is all butthurt about and has to be a contrarian about everything regarding them.

    FALSE. GSP had two big rounds, the first and the second, the other three Fitch only sustained marginal damage at best.

    That and GSP has trouble finishing EVERYBODY. Put Fitch in the situation with a good finisher and he'd get stopped, period. The dude's chin is FAR from stellar.

    Phil Baroni and Valentijn Overeem are 2 of the easiest guys to finish. They fold quicker than lawn chairs.

    Really? So in 20 fights at 170 Fitch has just managed to never get tagged on the chin? Wow, his defense must be amazing.

    Fitch has never been finished at 170 in over 20 consecutive fights. Who can match that? Seriously, give me a comparison?

    I love watching him back himself into a corner. If actually makes me laugh out loud. You just know the more guys pin him down, the more outlandish and rediculous his posts will get. Its just good fun.:hammert:

    :nono:

    :atu: Riiiiight. Because Fitch gets dropped and knocked out all the time? Psh, not even. Dude, sometimes you just need to realize when to stop typing. It's not THAT important to defend an argument that doesnt even exist.

    Great one!!! No heart at all.


    Just thought of one, obviously not now, but back in his prime, Mark Hunt was on tough SOB to finish.

    He took a knee from Gouveia in a 205 pound bout. I think I clearly said he has gone 20 fights at 170 without being stopped.

    And if all you have is one or two guys 'rocking' Fitch at 170, I think it's clear you're wrong again.

    Did you even watch that fight? He was hurt several times by Gouveia then finished with a knee which he went completely unconscious.

    Fitch has a slightly above average chin at best. He's nowhere near the "toughest guy to finish".

    His wrestling makes him tough to finish, thats about it, but using that same logic I could nominate GSP, which clearly is false.

    My original post was oozing with sarcasm. EVERY fighter gets rocked, you twit. EVERY SINGLE ONE. The fact that you are still typing to defend an argument that doesn't exist is further proof that you dont know when to stop. You were on a hot-streak last week....... but DAMN your fall-from-grace is almost as funny as watching Aoki get blasted by a she-male.:cheer:

    As I said before, give me another guy that has 20 fights consecutively without being stopped?

    I'm real curious if anyone else has had that kind of run.

    How the hell did Jon Fitch get involved, this was about GSP.

    :lol: Just kidding guys, this place has been boring recently.

    Jon Fitch is obviously tough as nails, GSP reduced his face to a horror-scene extra and the guy never had an ounce of quit in him and fought tooth and nail to the end.
    This, and his lightning quick recovery ability make him tough to stop for anyone who isn't a very powerful striker...

    Now you're talking sensibly. On another note, you are very quick to dismiss Fedor because he has fought smaller opponents yet you've continuously praised A Silva as the GOAT when he's been finished by 2 welterweights who were average at best. Based on your logic, I dont understand your GOAT position. At all.

    The Pride Welterweight (less than or equal to 83 kg / 183 lb) Class was considerably different than WW in the states. Its common knowledge that both Takase and Chonan were and still are typically between 169-171. More to the point, A Silva has questionable losses to smaller opponents. I'm dying to hear your spin on this.

    Please know in advance that I'm not an Anderson hater. The dude is incredible. Just want to know why you ridicule Fedor for the same things that Anderson is guilty of, yet you love Anderson.....

    Lol only at the very beginning of his career, and even then some of them were lightweights. Lol

    Bottom line was he was significantly bigger than Takase and Chonan when they stopped him. That is a given.

    I'm not spinning anything. PRIDE didn't use weight classes unless it was a GP. They weren't WW fights. Anderson was fighting other guys his size at the time in Newton, Takase, etc. All 170ish fighters. Though in his last fight with an official weight division, Anderson weighed 168 against Sakurai.

    He didn't move up to 185 until 2004. He put on a lot of muscle then.
