    Washed up my arse. That was the best Fury has looked in a long time.

    I Hope his brain is intact in ten years.
    That was horrible punch resistance.
    Every concussion counts.
    I've met/seen far too many punch drunk boxers, who've had much shorter careers

    Fedor used to be able to take a mean shot. The right hand he ate from Fujita would annihilate any glass jawed fighter. The same shot would leave him in a very bad state today.

    Tragic to see that happen to Fedor, especially as he got so far in the tournament.

    He is my favourite fighter of all time, but he is completely and utterly done. He must retire now.

    It's sad to watch a fighter that was so advanced and blessed with the attributes he had back in the day become what he has become.

    Fedor fell in love with his power, abandoned his world class grappling, and never moved with the times (in terms of training partners, facilities, or methods) and never evolved as a fighter (he was just a puncher for the last 10 years).

    Still, now HW or fighter for that matter will come close to him. A true fighting machine if there ever was one, with every attribute you would want in a fighter!

    Imagine Roy eating shots from REAL heavyweights with MMA gloves. That's a scary thought.

    Hopefully this will now put end to talks of Fedor being the goat.

    You have no idea of what you are talking about.

    I bet you think Anderson is the best ever, right?

    McGgregor, first ever dual champ, did Aldo inside a round. Smashed Alvarez as a huge underdog.

    Noone else comes close.

    Dude was a weight-bully. Looked like a junkie at 145. And just got dominated by Khabib, even on the feet. And Conor is STILL in his prime! He’s one dimensional, too.

    Alvarez hasn’t amounted to much inside the UFC. He had his best days outside of the company.

    BJ Penn won the belt in two divisions, so did a few others.

    GSP is the greatest after Fedor. He dominated all generations whilst he was active.

    Fedor has just been sparked inside a minute by Vader and GSP's best victory is a shot to **** Bisping.

    McGregor is no longer prime, in his prime he'd have knocked out Khabin and everyone knows it.

    Fedor is a solid 8 years past his prime.

    Bisping isn’t in GSP’s top 5 victories.

    Conor is still in his prime, he just got embarrassed by a much better fighter.
