The heavyweight world champion is SUPPOSED to be the best in the world
Its a pretty clear statement that two serious fans of the sport dont agree and are happy to say "Lesner is just the heavyweight world champion, no one says he's the best in the world..."
Its actually quite easy to understand why Lesner was a good athlete as a youth... I know a few people who had the same experience. He has always been big and strong, and as a 16, 17 year old he can use his strength to dominate bouts. Then when you get to senior sport, its a different story. Thats why he didnt become a pro, thats why he didnt make it as a footballer... instead he became an actor in WWF - my best guess (and I know he never failed a drug test in UFC) i that he juices up, gets bigger, gets a huge profile...he gets an offer from an emerging sport like MMA, manages to sneak past a couple of hand picked opponents and is given the belt... MMA gets a lot more publicity. And the first time Lesner fights a serious heavyweight fighter (like Fedor) he gets beaten up and the end of the stunt.
Then and only then will you be able to tell what sort of fighter he is, and whether he has the heart of a warrior.
