    guys who fought in lighter weight classes have to fight someone with their skills etc..so dont tell me "brock fought tougher guys"

    with all his god like hype comes his resume of 4-1

    Top 75? That's a decent number, sir.

    If pressed, I'd have to say yes simply because of the fact that the Heavyweight Division in ALL combat sports is, by far, the least technical of all of them. Not to say they aren't technical in what they do, but relative to the other divisions it's very apparent.

    But, is he an ATG? No, of course not. Is what he's done and is doing amazing? Duh! The guy is a freak (in a good way). I'm not his biggest fan and I'm not big on the way he's been promoted via the UFC and such but damn...when it comes down to it, the man can fight and knows his stuff. Time will tell how he's remembered in the Heavyweight Division.

    And if you're asking Top 75 of All-Time, in all divisions, then no. That's just stupid. Whoever is saying that he is is silly and either laugh at them or slap them. I say slap because a punch might be too much.

    It's too early in his career as well as in MMA history to tell. We need to see if he can establish a dominant streak. Every guy in the UFC top 5 has the ability to defeat Lesnar. If he can clear out his division - then will be the time to discuss his place in MMA history.

    I wouldn't think it's crap, but it certainly won't be a easy. To say that Fedor would demolish him or run through Lesnar is just delusional. It's for Fedor fanboys (They're the worst...maybe tied with B.J. fanboys) who think of him as invincble and god-like, which is nonsense.

    Can he beat Fedor? Sure. Will he? Don't know, but stylistically it seems very possible should the fight ever happen.

    Lesnar has the best chance to beat Fedor out of anyone in MMA at the moment. I would love to see the fight - but we can't rate the guy historically yet. It's simply premature.
