The Truth about Fedor!!!

He's also not RJJ. It's a matter of opinion since we can't measure prime Fedor's punching speed and compare it to today, but I do not believe that the guy that went toe-to-toe with Filipovic would have been struggling with Hendo's speed.

 

True, but I just dont think it has eroded beyond repair. Now 6 years of punishing training camps and fights take their toll, and Im not suggesting he's in the same shape physically

But I think the Fedor of the Mirko fight had one significant advantage over this version, better game plan. The reason why he's losing now is part physical decline, but mainly, being too wild. He's using the same formula from the Goodridge fight all the way to this one, swing for the fences and you'll land eventually. IMO the Mirko fight is the exception that proves the rule

But Dan did something extremely clever, he kept his hands up. But there were one or two shots where he relied on his chin

 

shut you mouth and get out of here!

 

fedor not shot quick as ever and everyone saying hes past it is bs looked in better shape than ever. only 34 yrs old face it people he beat guys in pride who have all gotten smashed when coming over here. so is rampage past it hes 33 and about to crush john jones for the title he got robbed by forrest. crop cop big nog mark coleman all have came over here being built up off of being some of the best and absolutely have gottten smashed by no name competition. He's past it is just and excuse he was the most over rated fighter in mma history.

 

This is a load of jumbled up, run-on fail. You have no grammar. None.

 

"crop cop"

 

People age differently for a startatsch

 

'Ha ha'... Sign out. Now step away from the keyboard.

 

Other than his ability to slip and his rapid-fire combination punching, Fedor's "boxing" is largely atrocious. It worked, however, because he was really, REALLY fast and he hit like a ****ing semi truck. Now that the speed and reflexes are eroding that wide open haymaker punching is getting him countered in exchanges, even against slow punching bums like Bigfoot Silva.

Same thing with Wanderlei. The guy has always had horrific kickboxing technique with ugly loopy hooks but when those loopy hooks were coming at 600 mph it was pretty damn deadly. When they started becoming underwater punches it was just a good way to get countered and KTFOed.

 

This is a really well thought and rationale post. I like it when posters really put in the time and effort to construct such well thought out and balanced arguments.

O yeah you forgot to add "War Lesnar" at the end of your post.

 

Haha dude, if you read the quote I was replying too, you'd see I was referring to Chuck and Wanderlei atsch

And I dont need a history lesson fella, thanks anyway

 

How are his chin and reflexes being faded debatable? Have you ever even watched the Fedor that fought in Pride?

Honest question.

 

No....never....:roll:
