    I assume MMA?

    Greatest of all time is Anderson Silva. Say what you want about his antics and attitude, the dude is almost the Bruce Lee incarnate.

    Top 5 Pound-for-pound right now...
    Cain Velasquez
    Renan Barao
    Jose Aldo
    Jon Jones
    Demetrius Johnson

    How do you not have GSP on that list?

    I'd have to say Jon "Bones" Jones. His only "loss" was because of DQ for illegal elbows. He's still very young but he's amazingly unorthodox but effective. He's a tough matchup for just about any fighter because of his long arms and ability to escape. Someone else who I used to hate but now really appreciate is Carlos Condit. I think he was ripped off in his past two losses, especially the one against GSP but I don't think it's the last we will hear of him. If you are referring to boxing I'd have to say Ali had the best footwork and flurry, Tyson had the best bob/weave defense, and Mayweather has the best counter.

    ^In regards to GSP, 8 of his last 9 fights have all gone to decision, 5 of which the outcome was very very suspect and controversial. That to me doesn't scream great.

    Mayweather, Ali, and Mike Tyson if we are talking boxers.

    Silva and GSP if we are talking the caged death matches...

    Boxing currently-Manny Pacquio. All time, to many to list.

    MMA currently-Jose Aldo. Maybe Weidman in the future. All time maybe Fedor or Silva.

    What about Matt Hughes he held the middle weight belt for ever until BJ Penn and GSP came through. I believe GSP is one of my favorites and one of the best.

    Matt Hughes not only was a great fighter but is one of the nicest guys I have ever met. He use to ref ammy MMA fights for XFO in the Chicago land area and I had the chance to sit and talk with him a bit each time as I use to DJ the fights.

    For all time greats MMA best at the game
    GSP best at the game
    Anderson Silva best in Skill
    Chuck Liddell and Randy Courtour for Heart and drive

    Yep, Matt Hughes should be in the conversation for sure. I am surprised no one else is saying Jon Jones. He's going to go down as one of the best ever at the rate he's going.

    for me I would probably say Tyson, yeah he did some nasty moves, but in his prime, he was untouchable.:rant:

    Jon Jones may make it to that we will see the whole game has changed and we will see what he does with his quick rise to the top

    Matt Hughes? Good, not great....and as much as I can't stand the guy, at this moment it's anderson. Gsp is number two, then jon jones, then fedor. Jose Aldo is in the mix also.
