You do have the internet to look up records right? You should use it to look up how many fights he's lost before shooting your mouth off.

Randall Coutre - yes, a blown up Light Heavy. James Toney fights at heavy now, does that make him a legitimate heavyweight (and remember he won the title only to get stripped for juicing). And what excuse to you have with regards to the man being almost 50?
Not a blown up light heavy at all, as m0rpheus said his natural weight is 220 which is well above the light heavy, so because the BOXER was juicing the MMA guy must be as well? But of course you precious boxers can do no wrong, but don't let facts get in the way of your opinion. Who fuckin cares he's almost 50, big fuckin shit, Gordie Howe Played hockey into his 50's, Chris Chelios is 40 some years old and still going, you look after yourself well enough you can stay physically active at a high level, but you wouldn't know ANYTHING about that. How old was Foreman when he won the title SF? Use facts now not opinion, we can all look it up.

Frank Mir - Most accurate assessments put the guy in the top 20, not the top 3. Ive seen the fight, and he doesnt have the physique or the courage of a fighter.
Who's accurate assessment? Yours? Hardly accurate coming from you. I'll take ACTUAL MMA publications as acurate over you any day. "He is currently ranked by MMAWeekly.com and Sherdog.com as the No. 4 Heavyweight fighter in the world." The physique? What the fuck does physique have anything to do with it. As for courage, he's had the sack to get in the cage, all I've seen you do is shoot your yap off from the comfort of your living room.

Like I said - supposedly Lesner won a few fights in college. Big deal. This means nothing in pro sport. If he was an good he'd have turned pro at 18. But he went to college to fighter other people who arent good enough to turn pro just like he wasnt good enough. He "only" lost 5 times to second tier youth opponents... doesnt impress me in the slightest.
A few? Supposedly? Fuck dude, we've all shown you his record, there's no supposed about it. He won 106, that's hardly a few, but once again don't let FACTS get in the way SF, you never have before. Turned pro at what at 18? Underwater basket weaving? You're clueless as to the caliber of athletes that wrestle at Division 1 NCAA schools aren't you? Actually it does mean something in pro sport, ever hear of the NHL draft? The NBA draft? MLB Draft? All based on what a person did before they're turning pro whether it's NCAA or not, so yeah it means a fuck of a lot to people who know what they're talking about, and means nothing to people who have no idea what they're on about.

You really should try and learn something before you post, with each post you're looking more and more foolish and really showing that you have no clue what you're on about.

This thread is getting more and more pathetic, it's like debating with someone who refuses to believe facts and seems to think that you can turn pro from an NCAA wrestling career, as m0rpheus said, the next step is the Olympics and why go there when Vince is throwing a busload of cash at you, any smart man would take the money and run.

Does anybody else feel like they've just been restating the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again? I don't think SF actually reads our posts, just goes off on tangents and hopes no one calls him on it.
