some friends and i talked about fedor before he got beat by werdum. i asked one of my friend, who is a big fan of fedor about fedors achievements.

who is the best heavy fedor beat? is he really that impressive?

brett rogers?

tim sylvia?

hong man choi?

the only legit guys are arlovski who was doing great if not for the glass chin, crocop who is a small heavy and big nog.

The truth is that there simply are not that many great athletes much less fighters at the size of a MMA or even boxing HW. Even in 200+ years of history with boxing there have really only been two great HW eras. Fedor fought everyone put in front of him and just plain won. I think his resume is pretty good compared to just about any other HW out there. Personally I think the guy fights again.

I felt genuinely sad watching Fedor's fight last night. Kinda like when Roy Jones was beaten by Tarver. Sometimes it's easy to forget a fighter isn't invincible. If he retires, he'll go down as one of the best ever.

Brett Rogers (top 10), Andrei Arlovski (number 3), Tim Sylvia (top 5), Mark Hunt (top 10), Mirko Filipović (number 2) Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira (number 2) Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira (number 2, emded in NC), Kevin Randleman (top ten), Mark Coleman (top 10, their first fight), Kazayuki Fujita (top 10), Antonio Rôdrigo Nogueira (numer 1), Heath Herring (top 5) Semmy Schilt (top 10, was supposed to fight Nog for the title, Nog got hurt, Fedor was a late replacement), plus he beat Babalu and Arona in RINGS, both were top guys at the time. He was supposed to fight Barnett (number 2) at Affliction: Trilogy (Josh failed the pre-fight drug test), and Werdum and Big Foot were both top 10

the heavyweight pool is so small that all of the fighters will be in the top ten. so we really cant base how good a fighter is because of his standings. in mma sometimes all you need is luck, selling power and notoriety image to land the number one slot. (lesnar) so we really should base it on quality of opponents.

bretts only notable win b4 he fought fedor was crocop and james thompson, the later is a human punchbag. mark hunt isnt even a full blown mma fighter. coleman was 40 when fedor beat him.

fedor is like kimbo slice the internet street fighter not the mma fighter in terms of popularity. both where made to look godlike and unbeatable. but got exposed eventually....

since mma is still in its infancy and there are very few good heavies. then fedor is one of the best but until he hasnt fought guys like cain, rua, dos santos heck even couture.he shouldnt be made to look like the god of mma heavyweights.
