These picks are not unconventional. GSP is the pick for most "hardcore" MMA fans, who dont value Jones for his PED usage and aren't so desperate to show there "hardcoreness" that they pick DJ (undeservingly). And most hardcore boxing fans, espacially the many oldheads would pick SRR
Well theres also a lot of answers to it. Like the UFC has the Mt Rushmore of GSP, Jones, Silva and DJ. While boxing has been around for so long that theres multiple as well.

On Jon Jones, if you literally get banned from the sport you are competing in because you took banned performance enchanting substances you can't be the GOAT of said sport IMO. There is little doubt in my mind that GSP took PEDs, but he never got caught and not me nor you can ever make that claim with any substantial evidence. Jon Jones on the other hand...

True but I’ll just say I read somewhere that he tested positive for a substance that was later banned but at the time ge competed it wasn’t banned yet. Do with that what you will. But I don’t disagree with the choice to call him the goat.

sugar ray and samart are a given tbh so not much to argue there, the other sports i know little about so i can't speak but for mma it's debatable. i'd personally put dj there. never popped and fought after usada, still dominating, unlike gps who only had the washed, one eye bisping fight post usada or jones who got caught many a times. he didn't have the explosiveness and massive build of gsp or the enormous reach of jones, he is tiny, slim with small arms and he still dominated a division to the point that it nearly shut down. jones has better names on his record but most of them were old when he fought them and when he fought newer fighters post usada, he looked mediocre, plus lower classes have way more skilled fighters even though they are less popular than heavier classes. dj > gsp > jones, unless jones fights and beats aspinal, then he will be very hard to deny.
I am a sumo fan that got into sumo at the tail end of Hakuho's career. It's a shame that most people are not aware of Hakuho, naturally as sumo is not really popular outside of Japan, but to illustrate how insanely good he is he holds the record for the following: - Most top division titles at 45, 2nd is 32 - Most undefeated tournaments at 16, 2nd has 8 - Most consecutive titles won, tied 1st - Most title playoffs, tied 1st - Most career wins - Most top division wins (by a huge margin) - Most wins in a calendar year, tied 1st with HIMSELF - Best win percentage at 84.6%, only 2 others are above 80% - Most tournaments ranked at Yokozuna by a huge margin Shame that sumo is kind of a meme outside of Japan, but once you get over the fact that you are looking at 2 big guys in diapers and start actually watching tournaments you realise how skilled and strong these guys are, specially the top division sanyaku wrestlers
I love Sumo, but I disagree with Hakuho being the greatest. Many Historians, and myself, believe Raiden was the greatest. According to multiple polls in Japan, Chiyonofuji is the greatest. Hakuho has a losing record against Asa, who was forced to retire early. Asa has losing records against two Yokozuna's himself. Raiden, still to this day, has the best winning percentage in the history of Sumo. Raiden won 28 of the 35 Basho's he entered. Keep in mind that there were only two Basho a year during his career. If there were six, no one would come close to his records.

@MakeFood-sc4of It's honestly hard to think of an athlete who has dominated their sport for as long as Lopez did. Michael Phelps, maybe?

Nobody is doing that and I doubt anyone will ever come close.
@lechaatr193 Teddy Riners weight class is not nearly as competitive as the lower weights. By accolades alone he may be considered the best, but it's a bit disingenuous to have him as the GOAT.
Teddy Riner has more impressive accolades by far. I love Ono Shohei’s Judo though, the lighter weights are much more exciting, but Riner’s Paris olympic run is nothing but legendary. Compared to the only other ever 3 time olympic gold medalist’s third run it was astonishingly dominant. Not to mention the ridiculous fairytale story of the Team event in front of the home crowd.
heres another why gsp is the goat: he analyze frame-by-frame of his opponents fight videos, identifying their ticks and reflex responses for him to exploit it in the fight, essentially implementing fighting video game cheesing in real fight lmao
Great video ! I agree with most of your choices. I my opinion, the boxing goat is Joe Louis and the May Thaï goat is Saenchai. Also, I was expecting to see Gordon Ryan on this list, he's regarded as the goat in grappling competition.
He is the greatest tho lmao, he has a better resume than SRR, beat more HOFers, beat more ranked contenders, had more cultural impact (which is very important for goat status), undefeated in rematches (some goat stuff right there), defeated all odds against Foreman and Liston etc. And this was during the time where heavyweights weren't fat as shit like modern heavies (Ruiz,Fury,Miller etc and half of the ranked contenders are out of shape) and actually fought frequently, and the best American athletes came to boxing, nowadays they all go for NFL lmao.
Teddy Riner shouldn’t be the judo goat in my opinion Yamashita is the GOAT. Seriously 203 victories in an art where one mistake will cost a defeat is insane.
It would be a fun debate for people more knowledgeable in Judo than me. As a newby and after a lot of research Riner's strictly sporting achievements couldn't be passed.
@@thecombatchroniclerYou need to consider level of competition in the weight class. If a female strawweight was a reigning undefeated champion, it still wouldn’t be correct to have her over GSP or Jones considering the level of competition
I would put Mijaín López over Karelin due to him being an Olympic greco roman gold winner for 5 olympics in a row in the heavyweight division which is way more impressive taking into account he didnt compete for over 2 years before he got this years gold.

@user-universalmaster. how many fighters do you know that fought the best people available from lightweight to heavyweight in boxing? Most hall of fame fights?
@@user-universalmaster. how many fought the best from lightweight to heavyweight and beat them? Who holds the record for the most hall of fame fights combined? You can look for the answer in my comment above
I have a fun story. I'm trained as a kickboxer and spent some time training in K-1 gyms in Japan. Well one time randomly Hajime Kazumi came into the gym I was training at and just did an impromptu seminar. I couldn't understand a word but after it was done everyone was throwing these blitzing karate style combinations with the low kick and absolutely destroying me. This pick may be the most personal but I think it shows to me just how important his contributions have been to not only Kyokushin but striking as a whole.
@@Lmao69 I am aware. He weighed about ~190lbs in the cage during his prime, more like ~205lbs when he moved up to middleweight, but was old then. He's outweighed by the others, but has a much larger skillset.
GSP would beat the snot out of all the other guys. He would sub Robinson, Petroysian, Payarkoon, Kazumi and Lopez. All the other guys would get head or body kicked into oblivion. Alltough maybe Karelin could dump GSP on his head, alltough i think GSP is competent enough at wrestling to negate it in an MMA/street fight setting. Riner might also be able to get a takedown and hail mary sub. But i think Judo isnt dynamic enough to secure the takedown.
@@Jonnybois Karelin, Riner, Hasanov, and Gracie are his hardest fights. They have less tools in their bag, but they're much larger. I'm not entirely sure how it would go.
I know the impulse is to disregard Jon Jones because of failed drug tests, but I think it is still perfectly reasonable to have the likes of dj and gsp above Jones on their own merit and without making any exclusions. I think Jones is definitely top 5, but their seemingly stellar record does not hold up to scrutiny.
Facts, a microscopic look through Jones' record, especially looking at the point of the career his opponents were at is very relevant and not discussed enough.
My the Kwon do coach competed in nationals in 2000, the 1st year tkd was in the Olympics. And the only person who could, and did beat him was Lopez. He ended up placing 3rd that year, and Lopez went on to take the 1st gold at the olympics
It should be noted that in the UFC fighters weren’t required to get tested until June of 2015. It might be different for other organizations but the UFC is where gsp competed so I’m only talking about the UFC
To be fair, Hakuho's 63-win streak is not the all time record, but I doubt anyone is ever coming close to his 45 championships (for context, next best has 32 championships iirc).
GSP being the Mama Goat is what made me click. Truer words have not been spoken, Jon is a cheater and a scumbag, who used roids and blatant fouls inside the cage, including regular eye poles and other scummy tactics, not a Goat not even a Great, but merely a cheater and not someone to look up to...
Thats your personal opinion, this all just sounds like a massive cope if Im being honest…probably the best resume in the ufc, beat the most former/future champions, has the most title defenses, and never lost…you absolutely cannot say the same for gsp who was very clearly juicing at the time aswell
Out of all the "goats" in the mma goat debate, gsp has the best argument. Doesnt mean u cant think others are, but his argument is the hardest to break down in comparison to anyone without going full delusional
DJ was close to being the undeniable goat of MMA but him leaving the UFC was the worst thing that could happen. We didn't get to see him defend against better competiton and he wasn't even old, he was THIRTY TWO when he was traded to OneFC and now he's already retired at 38. Imo DJ not like it's his fault or anything had some of the weakest challengers there's been for a UFC belt and it wasn't a good look for him losing to a contender in a weaker promotion when he was 35 despite the good rematch win.
Got to train with Suberbon a short bit after he KO’d petrosyan. Rly sweet guy but he did demo an elbow on me and my life may or may not have flashed before my eyes
@@Gfckin9 absolutely incorrect, your claim that Darrel Elkins, Chad Mendez, Jose Aldo, Holloway , Brian Ortega, zombie and Yair are NOT as impressive as Bisping, juiced jonny Hendricks, Diaz not so good but still a great name, Carlos condit, Jake shields, Thiago alvez, Matt Hughes, frank trigg. Plus only 2 losses which he aggressively avenged. That’s way more impressive than Volks resume
@@Scrumdumn what are you smoking?

The GOAT of Karate is named Hajime? I know it means 'beginning' in Japanese, but since it is used a lot for Karate bouts, it feels like a case of nominative determinism

@@connerpollitt3661 Anderson had 18 more fights than gsp, 17 consecutive victories and if you think gsp wasnt on steroids like everybody else you just stupid. One only need to have eyes and watch the fights to see Anderson superiority. George would just hold the opponent down on the ground for the whole time
It's predetermined, so no actual competition. If you want to say who has the best-looking wrestling in the match not counting victories, then you can probably say who is the best at that. Some of the best wrestlers, lost a lot of matches simply because who they wanted to push regardless of actual skill.
I agree with most picks, but i do have some different picks for kickboxing and muay thai. For kickboxing i would trhow in Ernesto Hoost, with his unmatched record in K1 promotion, or maybe Rob Kaman for his amazing preformences. In muay thai, Saenchai is the all time goat, no doubt
Thanks for your picks they are definitely solid. I love Hoost and he is a legend of the sport but Petrosyan is inarguable for me. Rob Kaman is an awesome pick and someone who doesn't get mentioned enough!
petrosyan fought everybody and always won, only man to win k1 tournament back to back. He only has 3 losses, nobody is more technical than him, what are you on?
It might be unfair but K-1s golden era having so many legendary heavyweights actually makes it harder to sell, because they all traded wins and losses amongst themselves and you couldn't really single one out, maybe Hoost by a little bit. But I did really consider putting Aerts in there.
You can argue a lot of those categories but for boxing there is NO other answer except ALI. If you truly understand what he did N what he had to overcome it’s almost not even a question.

Great video ! I agree with most of your choices. I my opinion, the boxing goat is Joe Louis and the May Thaï goat is Saenchai. Also, I was expecting to see Gordon Ryan on this list, he's regarded as the goat in grappling competition.
Finally, someone who didn’t say “Ali” as the boxing GOAT.
He is
I think Ali is the greatest in terms of cultural impact which in the greater scheme of things means more than anything in the ring.
In a fight Ali would win because of his size advantage on top of his skill, but I admit in a pound for pound scenario Robinson would won
He is the greatest tho lmao, he has a better resume than SRR, beat more HOFers, beat more ranked contenders, had more cultural impact (which is very important for goat status), undefeated in rematches (some goat stuff right there), defeated all odds against Foreman and Liston etc. And this was during the time where heavyweights weren't fat as shit like modern heavies (Ruiz,Fury,Miller etc and half of the ranked contenders are out of shape) and actually fought frequently, and the best American athletes came to boxing, nowadays they all go for NFL lmao.
p4p means if he was in the same weight class as anyone he would beat them, guess who is number 1 p4p?
Teddy Riner shouldn’t be the judo goat in my opinion Yamashita is the GOAT. Seriously 203 victories in an art where one mistake will cost a defeat is insane.
It would be a fun debate for people more knowledgeable in Judo than me. As a newby and after a lot of research Riner's strictly sporting achievements couldn't be passed.
@@thecombatchroniclerYou need to consider level of competition in the weight class. If a female strawweight was a reigning undefeated champion, it still wouldn’t be correct to have her over GSP or Jones considering the level of competition
I would put Mijaín López over Karelin due to him being an Olympic greco roman gold winner for 5 olympics in a row in the heavyweight division which is way more impressive taking into account he didnt compete for over 2 years before he got this years gold.
Who carea
Well when you are discussing goat status you have to take stuff like this into account unless you are completely biased
Mma: GSP
Boxing: Sam Langford
Kickboxing Giorgio Petrosyan

@user-universalmaster. how many fighters do you know that fought the best people available from lightweight to heavyweight in boxing? Most hall of fame fights?
@@user-universalmaster. how many fought the best from lightweight to heavyweight and beat them? Who holds the record for the most hall of fame fights combined? You can look for the answer in my comment above
@@jacopo.dainottoAre you being serious? Genuine question
Gordon Ryan BJJ
I’d give the nod to Ernesto Hoost and JBJ personally but that’s me.
Ernesto Hoost exists...
where is david deluc for lethwai and are you going do one for armed combat sports like kali Archery, Shooting and fencing
Anderson Silva has the record for most title defences. He had moore ways to finish a fight and he moved up a weight class a couple of times.
He mentioned people who did peds don’t get considered
W for the Sugar Ray Robinson pick
Kazumi Hajime is indeed a formidable Kyokushin Karateka, but why we leaving out Judd Reid and Matsui Shokei?
Or Kenji Yamaki
@ truly a master
I have a fun story. I'm trained as a kickboxer and spent some time training in K-1 gyms in Japan. Well one time randomly Hajime Kazumi came into the gym I was training at and just did an impromptu seminar. I couldn't understand a word but after it was done everyone was throwing these blitzing karate style combinations with the low kick and absolutely destroying me. This pick may be the most personal but I think it shows to me just how important his contributions have been to not only Kyokushin but striking as a whole.
@ I am also a Shodan in Kyokushin Kai, completely changed how I fight! I was big on Point Fighting (which has its time and place)
Petrosyan is a good pick, but for my money I get Rico Verhoeven
Wut ?? Bro are u dutch
You’re tweaking
Rico: 65W - 10L, 1 major organisation champ
Giorgio: 107W - 3L - 2D, 3 major organisation champ 🏆
Hahah Rico either gets severely underrated or severely overrated, no inbetween
@@thecombatchronicler based
Always great seeing Samart apprecitiation
He’s one of the best to ever do it!
Out of all 12 of these guys who would win in a fight? At first glance, the best answers are Saint Pierre, Karelin, Riner, maybe Hasanov and Gracie.
Dude , Gsp was a welterweight.
@@Lmao69 I am aware. He weighed about ~190lbs in the cage during his prime, more like ~205lbs when he moved up to middleweight, but was old then. He's outweighed by the others, but has a much larger skillset.
GSP would beat the snot out of all the other guys. He would sub Robinson, Petroysian, Payarkoon, Kazumi and Lopez. All the other guys would get head or body kicked into oblivion. Alltough maybe Karelin could dump GSP on his head, alltough i think GSP is competent enough at wrestling to negate it in an MMA/street fight setting. Riner might also be able to get a takedown and hail mary sub. But i think Judo isnt dynamic enough to secure the takedown.
@@Jonnybois Karelin, Riner, Hasanov, and Gracie are his hardest fights. They have less tools in their bag, but they're much larger. I'm not entirely sure how it would go.
Karelin
Regardless or if you like Jones or not, don’t kid yourself he was the best
And I love Sugar Ray but you’re on booger sugar if you think he’s better than any prolific champion forward of the 80s
You are a real one for picking Gsp as the mma goat man these Jon glazers aren’t shit
Not using Marcelo Garcia for BJJ is a fair opinion even if I disagree with it.
It's really the gi and no gi achievements combined for Roger that does it for me.
@@thecombatchronicler Marcelo isn't even the no gi GOAT, it's Gordon by a mile.

Snap into a SlimJim ooooooohYeaaaaaah

I agree with them all besides boxing and Mma. Great video nonetheless. I always support more samart payakaroon and buvasiar coverage
Jones and Ali ? 💀💀
@lechaatr193facts their the real goats
real shit for not taking a casual pick like khabib or anderson or even jon jones
Clicked immediately when I saw the same people on my list featured on the thumbnail 😭
I know the impulse is to disregard Jon Jones because of failed drug tests, but I think it is still perfectly reasonable to have the likes of dj and gsp above Jones on their own merit and without making any exclusions. I think Jones is definitely top 5, but their seemingly stellar record does not hold up to scrutiny.
Facts, a microscopic look through Jones' record, especially looking at the point of the career his opponents were at is very relevant and not discussed enough.
Miljan Lopez > Karelin > the entire world
My the Kwon do coach competed in nationals in 2000, the 1st year tkd was in the Olympics. And the only person who could, and did beat him was Lopez. He ended up placing 3rd that year, and Lopez went on to take the 1st gold at the olympics
It should be noted that in the UFC fighters weren’t required to get tested until June of 2015. It might be different for other organizations but the UFC is where gsp competed so I’m only talking about the UFC
Boxing - Duran
MMA - Jon Jones
Muai Thai - Saenchai
Wrestling - Mihain Lopez
Kickboxing - Ernesto Hoost
Aleksandr Karelin might be the most dominant athlete of all Time. Never has a man been so much on top of his art for so long …
I love Samart so much
To be fair, Hakuho's 63-win streak is not the all time record, but I doubt anyone is ever coming close to his 45 championships (for context, next best has 32 championships iirc).
Kinda sad to see petrosyan get head kick ko'd by superbon
I think Miajin Lopez surpassed Karelin in the all time great Greco wrestlers list
No gi submission grappling - Gordon Ryan
No debate
GSP being the Mama Goat is what made me click. Truer words have not been spoken, Jon is a cheater and a scumbag, who used roids and blatant fouls inside the cage, including regular eye poles and other scummy tactics, not a Goat not even a Great, but merely a cheater and not someone to look up to...
Mighty mouse tf
Thats your personal opinion, this all just sounds like a massive cope if Im being honest…probably the best resume in the ufc, beat the most former/future champions, has the most title defenses, and never lost…you absolutely cannot say the same for gsp who was very clearly juicing at the time aswell
Gsp's Goat is Fedor emelianenko
Hakuho Sho in Sumo Wrestling is a Goat of Goats. His records are nuts. He was a true outlier. A statistical anomaly.
Out of all the "goats" in the mma goat debate, gsp has the best argument. Doesnt mean u cant think others are, but his argument is the hardest to break down in comparison to anyone without going full delusional
The muay thai pick is diabolical
I’ll always pick DJ as my MMA goat, but if you bring up legacy, GSP is a solid choice
its maruyama for judo, prime maruyama was a beast
DJ was close to being the undeniable goat of MMA but him leaving the UFC was the worst thing that could happen. We didn't get to see him defend against better competiton and he wasn't even old, he was THIRTY TWO when he was traded to OneFC and now he's already retired at 38. Imo DJ not like it's his fault or anything had some of the weakest challengers there's been for a UFC belt and it wasn't a good look for him losing to a contender in a weaker promotion when he was 35 despite the good rematch win.
Got to train with Suberbon a short bit after he KO’d petrosyan. Rly sweet guy but he did demo an elbow on me and my life may or may not have flashed before my eyes
How is Badr Hari not the kickboxing goat?
Hari lost alot should be hoost tho.
@@Matoi_ryuukoKLK Should be Buakaw, he is the reason modern K1 rules exist.
Cael Sanderson is the GOAT of folk style wrestling
The best form of wrestling
Volkanovski is the GOAT
His resume is not as good as gsp plus less title defenses
Id say he’s better than gsp but still not the goat
@@Scrumdumnwrong sir he has a significantly better resume its the title defenses that he lacks
@@Gfckin9 absolutely incorrect, your claim that Darrel Elkins, Chad Mendez, Jose Aldo, Holloway , Brian Ortega, zombie and Yair are NOT as impressive as Bisping, juiced jonny Hendricks, Diaz not so good but still a great name, Carlos condit, Jake shields, Thiago alvez, Matt Hughes, frank trigg. Plus only 2 losses which he aggressively avenged. That’s way more impressive than Volks resume
@@Scrumdumn what are you smoking? Sorry but aldo and max by themselves is already more impressive than gsps whole resume, anyone who actually watched the sport will disagree with you and probably laugh at your take…you’re saying carlos condit and jake shields like they hold a candle to anyone volks fought
Jon Jones is better. GSP never beat an Olympian like Daniel Cormier.
He out wrestled D1 National Champion Josh Koscheck....twice
@ D1 champ and Olympian are two different levels. Bo nickal was a d1 champ but couldn’t make the Olympics so he went to MMA. Different levels.
The GOAT of Karate is named Hajime?
I know it means 'beginning' in Japanese, but since it is used a lot for Karate bouts, it feels like a case of nominative determinism
Amateur boxing is Teofilo Stevenson and amateur wrestling is Alexandre Karelin !

Fedor, Silva & Jones >>>> GSP
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂terrible opinion
Fedor never competed in the ufc, Silva and Jones were on PEDs
@connerpollitt3661 if you think gsp is better than Anderson Silva, you dont watch mma
@MyCarlosmaciel funny. I never remember GSP having 11 losses, or popping for PEDs like Anderson did
@@connerpollitt3661 Anderson had 18 more fights than gsp, 17 consecutive victories and if you think gsp wasnt on steroids like everybody else you just stupid. One only need to have eyes and watch the fights to see Anderson superiority. George would just hold the opponent down on the ground for the whole time
serra knocked out gsp!
Professional Wrestling is a combat sport right??
No
If youre talking about wwe than no
Nah
It's predetermined, so no actual competition. If you want to say who has the best-looking wrestling in the match not counting victories, then you can probably say who is the best at that. Some of the best wrestlers, lost a lot of matches simply because who they wanted to push regardless of actual skill.
I agree with most picks, but i do have some different picks for kickboxing and muay thai. For kickboxing i would trhow in Ernesto Hoost, with his unmatched record in K1 promotion, or maybe Rob Kaman for his amazing preformences. In muay thai, Saenchai is the all time goat, no doubt
Thanks for your picks they are definitely solid. I love Hoost and he is a legend of the sport but Petrosyan is inarguable for me. Rob Kaman is an awesome pick and someone who doesn't get mentioned enough!
Ramon Dekkers or Tyrone Spong
Sugar ray robinson🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Teddy is straight facts frfr good shit .
Not picking a heavyweight from the golden years of K1 as the kickboxing goat is super wrong.
petrosyan fought everybody and always won, only man to win k1 tournament back to back. He only has 3 losses, nobody is more technical than him, what are you on?
@federicobarroccu9341 Ernesto Hoost
It might be unfair but K-1s golden era having so many legendary heavyweights actually makes it harder to sell, because they all traded wins and losses amongst themselves and you couldn't really single one out, maybe Hoost by a little bit. But I did really consider putting Aerts in there.
Who ya got for lethwei?
There is like no notable lethwei fighters. There are few but none have the starpower/level any of these fighters have achieved in their sports.
You should've included Best Eyepokes and Ducking, and put Jon Jones in it lol
You can argue a lot of those categories but for boxing there is NO other answer except ALI. If you truly understand what he did N what he had to overcome it’s almost not even a question.
Personally, Andy Hug is the kickboxing goat.
No because he lost too Ernesto hoost but rip Andy
@EdwardSmith-gs1xg i know, but you *can not* have a conversation about kickboxing GOATs without mentioning Hug, Aerts, Hoost, Smith and Cro Cop
@@alekslic3385 I agree
I love the pick, I actually think Hug would be a stronger contender for Karate than kickboxing.
Judo should be masahiko kimura and bjj should be rickson Gracie not Royce.
It's Roger who is better than Royce and Rickson.
