Feels nothing like it lol. Geechi’s run has had a LOT more impact.

Geechi went from relatively unknown to one of the top names in the game headlining major cards against the legends JC has been chasing for a half decade. JC went from hovering between mid tier and almost top tier to hovering between mid tier and almost top tier.
Ironically, I feel Jc is the battle where people thought he'd get Geechi outta here, and when Geechi won clear, it was like "Oh shyt, nah Geechi is really that nikka".

Geechi has the machine behind him, JC has never had that type of support breh
That machine only formed once they saw the fans rocked with him, and he stayed consistent and earned it. Not the same as a Don Marino who was getting FORCED on us seemingly out of nowhere, shyt like that is an example of a machine at work.

shyt i'd say being on Ruin Your Day as much as he was gave him a different connection with fans and that combined with him doing well snowballed into this

Geechi's run in battles is like Tay Roc's career without the first clips battle in a way

Which battlers have the best win percentage of all-time y'all think (Not debatables, clear wins)?

Serius Jones
Swave
Jaz
K-Shine
Goodz
Hollow

Am I missing someone?
It's hard because there are very, very few battles that are considered clear wins by consensus. But I do think the answer here is Goodz, MAYBE Jones.

If I were to reverse the question (who has the least amount of clear losses, percentage wise) I'd comfortably say Goodz. Mook possibly too would be in that discussion. I can't speak on Jaz because I don't really watch female rap like that, so maybe she's the right answer.

Lux arguably won every battle besides vs Mook since his return.

Edit: Lux arguably won every battle (besides mook part 2) period! And that includes 106 and park.

I don't know if would put Hollow on that list. Considering he's been battling for 10+ years, the only clear wins he has is Big T, Goodz, Illmac, Clips, Shine, and the Arsonal rematch.

Even though he beat Clips, I feel Clips has more clear wins against top tier competition (he beat Verb, Rex, Surf, X Factor, Tay Roc, Arsonal, Hitman and Conceited)

Yeah but a lot of them are debatable battles to the culture. I'm talking battles where the majority of the culture has them winning

I have Lux packing Hollow up 3-0. But to the culture, it's a debatable, so I have to respect it.

His clear wins:
Miles
Calicoe
Tsu Surf

Debatable:
Hollow
Mook 1
Aye Verb
Charlie Clips
Arsonal

Clear loses:
Mook 2
Geechi Gotti

Hollow had never clearly lost a battle, except Arsonal first joint, until the Math battle.

I get that, but your post said clear wins, not debatables. Some of those battles you could also argue he lost ( Surf, TODD, Roc, Pat Stay, Lux, Pass, Okwerdz, Verb)
