so recently there has been a bit of a spat between Chael Sonnen and Luke Thomas about whether Chael was a good fighter or a great one.
It got me thinking how do you draw a line between a good fighter and a true great? Is it down to wins and losses? holding and defending belts? wider cultural impact? a combination of the above or some other intangible factor? Personally I think its a combination of all the above although i will say that as far as im concerned a great fighter doesnt necessarily have to have held a top level championship. Do you guys think it would be possible to come up with some objective way to sort the good from the great or is it just down to personal opinion?
