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.
