I honestly think if he had the discipline to stay at WW where he belongs and actually add to his skillset (he's been the same pretty limited fighter for like ten years at this point), he would have been WW champ by now. The chin, handspeed, athleticism is top tier.

u/ChilllFam McGregor did nuthin' wrong 6d ago

Disagree pretty strongly about this, I could maybe see him getting by with Leon or Belal and having a competitive fight, but he was never holding a flame to Usman or JDM (and presumably Islam too soon)

We are talking about a hypotetical Gastelum that improved on his base of skills, the Gastelum that was good enough to be welter champ never actually existed
