    I'm seriously shocked at how many people give Coleman not just a chance to beat Couture, but are almost certain that Couture would be paste against him. Seriously stupified.

    a prime randy will probably find a way to sap coleman's energy and render him useless once his stamina goes down....

    Not in the slightest. Colemans peformances in his prime at heavy were impressive. I cant say the same for Couture.

    Sylvia, Gonzaga, Lesnar performances were pretty good in my opinion.

    So where the Pedro Rizzo fights, Randleman, Belfort (1st time) and many others. Coleman has a pretty **** resume by comparasion.

    At heavyweight Jimmie not 205. Randy's best body of work has been down at 205. At heavy things change quite a bit. He had stellar peformances considering his age vs Sylvia and Gonzaga but Coleman was the GP winner also with wins vs a prime Goodridge, Don Frye, Brian Johnston, Fujita, Goes, Shoji, Igor Morais and Rua all at heavyweight. Thats an impressive body of work considering the manner of his victorys.

    Is this a joke? The Randleman fight and the first Belfort fights WERE at heavy. Throw in Rizzo x2, Sylvia, Gonzaga, and Maurice Smith (who had just beat Coleman btw) and you have a resume at heavy that Coleman can't compare with. I mean Akira Shoji? Riccardo Moais? Brian Johnston??? C'mon dude your reaching.

    EDIT: Holy **** you put Fujita in there too? The fight where Fujita's corner threw in the towel one second after the opening bell? You must really rate Harold Howard's "win" over Royce Gracie too... :nut

    Like BJ, I always THOUGHT he was a sickhead at a particular weight but it wasn't until they revisited it that I felt they were completely proven. For me it is the Sylvia, Gonzaga, Brock run. Those are 3 guys who hugely outweigh him but strategiclly and skillfully put it on them.
