Then he needs to fight somebody. Fedor is a good fighter but his better days have passed. He barely escaped the fight with Brett Rogers and was submitted by Werdum in the first round. He dodges fighting in the UFC and has also been dodging a fight with Overeem. He'll have my respect whenever he decides he'd like to be more than a freakshow that fights circus acts like the 8ft tall Korean guy he fought.Fedor needs to get the respect he deserves.
I never said GSP was greater than Fedor. I will say GSP is dominant.
To use a basketball analogy, casual basketball fans love watching the Suns, as do I. Casual basketball fans think the Spurs are boring, but I love watching them dominate. I would take the Spurs as my team over the Suns any day. Fast breaks are exciting, winning more so.
When a guy consistently wins, and shows he can't be beat, that is greatness. You might not like the tactics he employs, but if it isn't greatness he should be vulnerable to defeat. What opponents is he dodging? What decisions were controversial? If you're going to make an argument that he isn't (one of) the best, you should at least have SOMETHING to bring to the table other than 'he's boring to watch', or 'he didn't win the way I think he should'.
He wins, and if he's not the best in his class, someone should step up and beat him.
It's very simple. If GSP isn't so great, why can't anyone beat him?

I'd love to see Lesnar v. Fedor. I doubt that will ever happen, however.
Besides one guy (Woosta) I believe all of AT forums acknowledges that GSP is one of the all time greats.
Or you're afraid of what might happen.Lesnar doesn't deserve this fight. He hasn't beaten anyone noteworthy and doesn't have the skill caliber to even remotely be in the same league.
Cain vs Fedor or JDS vs Fedor or Overeem vs Fedor is the best fight that can happen.

This.
Just like Floyd Mayweather. Casual boxing fans don't like to watch him fight (I do - he's unbelievably talented), they like to see Pacquiao, Tyson, etc. People who put on a show. However, there is no denying that Mayweather is greatness. Yes, he wins most of his fights by points, but so what - are you going to say he's not a good boxer? Defense wins championships, right?
If GSP can do this to Jake Shields I'd be impressed. I wasn't ever impressed with his BJ penn wins because he vastly outsizes BJ.
Why don't you go back to kicking up bananas and almost hurting yourself doing it and when you gain some expertise on that, get back to us will you.
BJ is one of the greatest fighter ever. Did you see what hhe did to Diego?
Poor guy.
And that broken orbital bone on Kos, does that count for something?
You just like to spew nonsense.
GSP is STILL the champion and will be for a long time.
Fedor has fought more top 10 HWs in the last 2-3 years than any HW period.
Sherdog type MMA fans are mostly retarded and also hypocrites. The majority will say Fedor is the GOAT and doesn't have to fight anyone because of his past accomplishments. But these same idiots will turn around and say Mayweather's a chicken because he won't fight Pacman. What I've learned from the time I spent on SD's forums, besides people are idiots. Is that Fedor is exempt from everything every other fighter is subject to.
uh. no.
perhaps ex top HW's or past their prime HW's yeah.
Fedor is the TOP HW and arguably the top fighter ever. but damn really you need some reality. has has not faced the top 10 hw's consistently in the last few years.
this.
he is like a majority (won't say all. some good insightful post on sherdog) of posters from there. hell his post is damn near a copy/paste from most over there.

Shields is gonna beat GSP, Georges is great, but for whatever weird reason Jake always finds a way to win. Jake does just what GSP does but he does it better. GSP couldn't have beat Henderson. He's great at 170 but if he stepped up to 185 he would lose.
inside leg kick, jab, circle is not a genius strategy. gsp does not have that killer tenacity. first it was lnp, then wall and stall, and now jab and jog.
Jab and jog, are you kidding me, he was the aggressor. I'm willing to bet you are one of those GSP haters who before the fight claimed there was no way GSP would be willing stand with KOS. Then when GSP put on a boxing clinic you complain about that.
