    ha, thought that would go unnoticed I was actually gonna say "except for Fujita" lol...he sure did have him ice skating with that temple shot. But since Fedor ended that fight about a minute later I have to call that wobbling a fluke. That was just a ploy by Fedor to trick people in to thinking he is human.

    And Cro Crop as well had him hurt one time, not as bad as Fujita, but he was hurt

    Yea it was a straight left that broke his nose.

    Seemingly hurt for about 10 seconds. Then was fine thereafter. Guy is a subhumanoid.

    Roach trains guys to a rigid rule set that only allows certain punches. I'd hope they would be better at it. :D

    What absolute bollocks. Firstly, it doesn't work like that or this whole forum is pointless as we are assessing fighters from different perspectives, including technique.

    Just because Ali is the greatest, does that mean his word on boxing technique would be gospel? Obviously not.

    The stupid thing here is that you claim you have to be a somebody to make comments. Arguably the best boxing coach in the world is the one who made the inital comments so there goes your argument.

    You can question Freddie Roach but I can't question Fedor. Pathetic.

    Fedor seems to get away with it though.

    I'm not questioning Roach, that's the point. He's the one making a statement, not me. I'm just saying it's bull****, as do everyon else if you haven't noticed. Why is it bull****? Because it's like telling Usain Bolt he should train this or that more to run faster(Bolt = the best sprinter ever lived).

    Your logic is flawed. Just because you are the best doesn't mean you are flawless. We are humans thus naturally flawed and always will be. We can continously strive for perfection even if we are the best at something.

    I don't see everyone else saying it is bs. I think some people have got sensitive because it's Fedor. Those people should grow up and accept he is human.

    I am not saying Fedor is flawless. I am saying that Roach(or you) don't know where his flaws is. I'm sure Fedor knows in what areas his weak etc etc, but I don't think that you do.

    And nobody here is "sensitive" about Fedor. Few people consider themselfs to be Fedor-fans because there's really no option, everyone HAS to like Fedor because he's simply so ****ing great, he doesn't even have a worthy rival in a time where MMA is as big as it has ever been.

    True indeed...Every fight I have seen from Fedor he has either dominated or controlled from start to finish.

    I haven't seen every single fight of his so I'm wondering who you think his biggest challenge to date is? Cro Cop?

    Technique! Compared to what? Or who. Fedor uses the proper strikes to land on his oppnant. That is one of the problems with people who come from a technical boxing background and look at MMA. I have a friend who I used to box with that continues to coach boxing who doesn't see the skill. I boxed and took Karate as well . You just cannot stay in the pocket and throw combinations in mma

    I think that if arlovsky can pull off a Lyota Machida he has a chance.
