The GOAT thing comes up constantly and everyone has their own prerequisites on what defines them.

For me it has a lot to do with your consistency, ability to prove your domination across multiple different websites, and having longevity across eras.

There are few that manage it, but those are the ones you want to be looking toward for true GOAT status as well as something like boxing would do by comparing their career wins over other heavyweights / future heavyweights in their division.

This to me is the best metric.
