Not really, he lost a few fights recently that he got favourable judges decisions in.
Meh, I agree that he lost the Reyes fight but his record doesn’t.

GSP used to be the goat but he has fought 1 time since 2013
look at anderson silva, hes fought 8 times since 2013 and lost 7 out of the 8.
fighting is way more technical these days then it was back then , that's why he hasn't been fighting consistently since 2013 he knows its tougher now and he'll get rocked like silva did
Idk if I like this take.
Does Michael Jordan get dogged on because he can’t/couldn’t play with the LeBron’s or KD’s of today? If MJ had to run through
Shaq/Kobe for 5 consecutive seasons, things may have looked differently then they do now.
GSP never slowed down, never showed a decline in his skills. He left on top as champion (twice). If the only fault you can put on him is his retirement, then tip your cap to the man.
And he’s 40 years of age at this point. Not like he pulled an old ‘McGregor and ran from his division as soon as he became champ, dude cleaned his division defending his title.
e/ holy fuck we are old. GSP is 40 and a handful of us if not more are close as shit to 40 as well. That’s kind of sad.
