I agree with you for the most part that fedors best comp were guys close to his size, he was shorter than many but wasnt much lighter. Though Antonio Silva was not the best giant Fedor faced Tim Silvia was, and look how that played out. :good
I kind of always take the stance that after the Randy and Nog loses big Tim was broken mentally which is why he looked so awful in 2009. But you're right that at his best he was a better fighter than Big Foot
I love this myth that Anderson is a top class striker. The guy primarily fought bums in the UFC, he couldnt even finish CANS in Japan. Anderson should stay in MW fight sonnen over and over and over.
Doesnt work like that, the challenge is always at the higher weight, unless your someone like Overeem because he was literally making himself sick trying to make weight.
