    Couldn't take a punch? All Carwin and Cain did was punch him repeatedly, and neither rendered him unconscious. All those fights did was show Lesnar did not like being hit, and had trained poorly in conditioning himself to being hit.

    If anything. Lesnar showed massive heart against Carwin. Lesnar ate all that Carwin had to offer, and still ended the round by getting to his feet and taking Carwin down. Then Lesnar began choking the life out of Carwin in the 2nd round. What was the point of this espose? That if you beat Lesnar up he just might kill you?

    :yep good point, but I'll make my point below
    By not being able to take a punch, I don't mean his chin is glass. I mean his instincts are glass. He shells up and reacts like a guy who's never been hit would react.

    I'm sorry man, but this just proves a common argument of mine. MMA has more ways to win than the other combat sports, and allows people that suck in certain areas to be able to rise to the top of the sport.

    Forrest Griffin is slow, and has a poor chin with poor stand up. Griffin became a champion. Griffin has a weak chin, but he also has a strong will, good conditioning, and was fairly strong physically.

    Lesnar had a proven wrestling base combined with freakish athletic attributes not seen since Bob Sapp. Lesnar compiled a more impressive record than Sapp.

    Lesnar probably has a better overall career than Forrest does. I'm drinking heavily at the moment, and may have passed my limit.

    Really? Brock only got 400k? He'd get so much more in the WWE if he went to wrestlemania.

    I bet Brock will get about 2 - 3 million.
