Do you guys see Tony getting it done? If he wins impressively, is he the GOAT at LW? If not, what else must he do? Simply defeat Khabib or go on a dominant reign with the belt?
 
Ferg has to beat Khabib to lay claim to LW GOAT.

Khabib has to beat Ferg to lay claim to LW GOAT.

Hopefully they both win their next fights and we finally get to see that fight.
 
He can become shit. Stop this bullshit, he never become champ. Until now, he is only a good fighter and nothing more.
 
Poirier is up there. He's 9-1 and has the same amount of top wins as Tony.

I just wish BJ stayed at 155 his whole career
 
He’s greater than khabib
Finishing Tibau in a round>Decision win
Pettis >McGregor(pettis has way more wins at lightweight)
Barboza =barboza
Trujillo =Trujillo
2016RDA>2014RdA
Kevin Lee>one day notice AL, AL only had one day making this gatekeeper win weaker for khabib
Thompson >Healy
Castillo<Johnson
Lando is another win for Ferguson
Yves Edwards>Tavares and everyone else on Khabibs resume

Ferguson is clearly the greater lightweight and if he adds cerrone to his resume he stakes a claim for goat status

Some amount of mental gymnastics in this post. In reality, Khabib's and Tony's resumes are clearly on par...
If your taking into account the context of each fight as you are, one day notice Al - Staph infection Lee etc .

They need to fight each other to really confirm who is LW GOAT.

You bring up a great point, Poirier, is putting together a HELL of a resume

Didn't realize Dustin had gotten to 9 wins at LW already. Fair point to include him. Still a step down from Khabib and Tony but definitely knocking on the door.
 
He will clearly have the best resume OAT at LW

Agreed. There won't be a LW Goat as long as we have multiple double digit win streaks alive in the division. Both have already done more than Penn at LW imo. If they were both to lose their next fight, then Poirer would have a good case to make.

A win over Michael Johnson > A loss from Michael Johnson
 
A win Saturday night makes him a lock for top 2-3 I would say. If he ever beats Khabib he is without a doubt the LW Goat.
