    Do you think Brock has one-punch KO power? I've not seen any evidence of it. If anyone is scoring a KO standing up, it's obviously going to be Carwin. His power is ****ing insane.

    This post could not be more wrong! The fight was done and over if Rampage didn't gas out in the 3rd round of a relatively 'non-grueling and demanding" fight. There is no way Rampage should've been gassed out in that fight, and the guy that fought Henderson, for 5 rounds....wouldn't have been and Rashad would have been beaten to a pulp.

    Well he broke Herrings face and shook Couture with an elbow.

    Yes, the 300lb monster who has broken a mans face has one punch KO power, as surprising as that may be.

    Who's Herring?

    Come on man, Carwin has way better technique and is a more explosive puncher. Brock seems like a push puncher.

    The skill of Herring makes no difference with how hard it is to break a human face.

    Carwin has big power, his technique isn't that much better than Lesnar; Gonzaga was getting the better of him for most of their fight.

    Brock has had some pretty devastating strikes, to think that he couldn't KO Carwin just as easily as Carwin could KO him is silly.

    What is more surprising is that you cannot separate a man's size from his attributes. Just because someone is 300lbs does not mean they necessarily have the attribute of single-shot punching power. Does a sumo wrestler automatically have KO power in their punches? No, not necessarily. Power is not directly correlative to weight/size. Shane Carwin has proven again and again that he can knock guys clean out with single shots. Brock Lesnar has never done this. The evidence is not in his bulk or his stature, but in his fights. Watch his fights. He does not possess KO punch power, despite his incredible physical strength. No offence, but it is a pretty childish and reductive view of MMA to assume that because a man is a 'hulk' or a 'beast' that he therefore has power. Instead, you should watch the fights with a clear head and base your opinions on the evidence there. :good

    Look at the mans resume: Liddell x2, Henderson, Wand Silva, Lindland, Arona, Ninja Rua, Bustamante, Vovchancyn, Randleman, Jardine. You can't be serious.

    Have you actually seen Brock land a punch?

    You are being an absolute idiot.

    Do you actually believe that if Lesnar connects on Carwin that he can't knock him out? Clearly no power there.

    You have still to tell me when Brock has knocked someone out with one punch. When was that exactly???

    Carwin took Gonzaga's best shot, then knocked him clean out. Carwin knocks guys cold early with punches.

    When has Brock done the same?

    He doesn't. He has awesome strength, and his power is not to be disregarded, but he does not possess one-shot KO power like Carwin does. If I am wrong, tell me when he has knocked a guy out in that fashion?

    You lose, dumbass. :smoke

    Exactly, Brock is a push puncher.

    Brock can hit. It's just not his game. He usually strikes then grapples. After dropping Herring and Mir he grappled. He doesn't look to out strike someone or set them up for ko punches. I do think he is heavy handed. His striking can also improve.

    Not a valid comparison since Rampage was already on the slide before the layoff. He looked extremely mediocre against Jardine and Griffin. He no longer has the aggression of his Pride days or the boxing technique he had with Ibarra.
