    They all have grappling or kickboxing pedigree.

    Oh and I forgot about Usyk, Gassiev. And Povetkin.

    Gassiev could be lethal in the cage with the right repertoire

    He did win against Carwin who was one of the biggest punchers in UFC, after enduring a battering.

    Just imagine a prime Roberto Duran getting a hold of someone and G'n'Ping them into hell.

    You kinda got me there ticar. :thinking:

    I can't really give you one, all I can do is refer you to your previous thread about Tyson vs Broc. I did a post mentioning Igor Vovchanchyn, about the possibility of pure striker having a chance if certain criteria were met.

    I posted the laugh cos I thought it was ****ing funny and because you kinda blanket crapped on true fighting royalty by just posting "Brock bests em all!". There were legends from different weight classes, it was a hypothetical thread so people were posting in a P4P way. I mean jesus, Brock beats Conner right? But who is the better fighter? Go back and look again at the thread, look at the list of ATG boxers & Muay Thai legends you crapped on. C'mon the Payakaroon brothers! :worship2:

    Leif Larsen (6-4, 265) was a good boxer, a national champion in judo, a world class shot putter, and held the NFL Combine record in the 225 pound bench press (45 times). He had the size, strength, and athleticism to do well in MMA. I don't remember the details, but he apparently made it into the NFL with little experience in American Football.

    Athletic specimen no doubt, but I don't think he beats Brock in a MMA fight.

    Yeah... no boxing/kickboxing champ should be favored in a MMA fight against Brock.

    Not even my man Big Daddy.

    Carwin was also an elite grappler. So there is a big difference.
