    Oh, I see what your problem is now... you have absurdly stupid standards that almost no other fighter can meet and you have some silly notion of what a good wrestler is.

    So your idea of evidence of him being a good wrestler would be that he must dominate using only his wrestling but it has to be against another great wrestler (who I assume has to also fits this criteria) who is in his late 20's to mid 30's and it must be when they're in perfect shape. Anything else and you'll fall back to your pathetic excuses. I see now. Hope you don't apply the same ridiculous standards when trying to find a girlfriend...

    Brock has good wrestling... you may not like it (for who knows what possible reason), but he does. Get over it. Now pull the stick out of your ass and enjoy the fight tonight.

    Pure strenghth? I would bet on Ronnie Coleman too. I think Carwin may be stronger than Lesner in the squat, bench, and dead lift. What makes Brock so unique is the explosiveness. I doubt Coleman could run a 4.7, in the 40, at over 280lbs. I doubt Brock can still do that at age 34, as that happened over 7 years ago.

    Who would you bet on in Olympic lifts, between Lesnar and Coleman? I have no opinion on that, I'm just interested hearing yours.

    Ronnie never did olympic lifts. Pointless question. Both have done some powerlifting. Ronnie is stronger, but is more roided up.

    Ronnie was easily an Olympic calibre athlete. His feats of strength were well known in BB circles. Dont really understand why peeps are comparing Lesnar head to head with the worlds greatest body builder?

    0 takedowns from 1 attempt again. 0%, But that is the sign of a good wrestler, to expect anything more than that would be an absurdly stupid standard.
