    Quinton Jackson ahead of all the featherweights and below? No way.

    Aldo and Brown both have to be on that list before Rampage.

    End thread right there. When I saw it I was at a loss of words. Didn't bother replying.

    I'm struggling to come up with 5 really. The obvious top 4 are the usual:
    Fedor, Silva, GSP, BJ Penn, in no order. Can't really find suitable 5th right now, and it's not Machida. I'd take Rua over him, which is ridiculous enough. Aldo, maybe? He needs 2 more solid wins and he's definite #5.

    Well there is a school of thought that you just rate guys based on the weightclass they are in; HW's are HW's, LW's are LW's, etc.

    Not for P4P dude and do you think Lesnar is the best P4P in heavyweight? What is your heavyweight P4P?

    I'm not saying I agree with it, I'm saying one way of doing pound for pound is to use the limit they fight at, rather than their size. IE whoever dominates their division the most gets the most credit.

    I see what you're saying. Still, not against you, I still don't think Lesnar should be on there. He hasn't dominated YET.

    Brock does'nt belong on any P4P list. Or top 5 heavyweight list. The man has had like 5 fights and lost one of them. Plus he has been less than impressive. It is the hype and press about Lesnar that makes people belive he is good.

    If you don't think Brock is a top 5 HW you are smoking crack.

    No. I'm a long time fan of mma with knowledge of what makes a top fighter. Tackling someone and smothering them with your freakish weight does'nt get you to the top 5. I will go on record as saying Brock WILL be a top heavyweight, but he isn't yet. Too many holes in his game. His standup is terrible.


    If Brock gets some stand up skills and submission education, look out!! He will be a force.
