Actually I amend my last post.The skill level at HW and LHW has gotten worse not better since 05.
AnyYou'd have to specify whether we are talking about prime or current Fedor.
It matters.
TRT Vitor beats Fedor.
Jones cant dunk is an absolutely stupid point to bring up.Jones can't even dunk. Fedor is one of the best athletes in MMA. He's explosive and fast as hell. Jones isn't a great athlete at all. He's got a great frame for his style.
And if HW is so bad why does Jones cut weight to LHW? Does he do it for the challenge???
Regarding athletic ability, Fedor had the best hips in MMA history at HW, and his combination of core strength and quickness/speed was phenomenal. Only an idiot would suggest otherwise.
Jones obviously has impressive physical aspects as well (his reach being chief among them), but in terms of pure athletic ability for MMA, they both have a lot going on.
Actually I amend my last post.
Stipe Miocic is far and away better than pretty much any HW of the Fedor era. So at the very top that has improved as well.
Werdum is better than Nog and CroCop and arguably Fedor. I know her was a staple back then as well, however he’s easily better than he’s ever been (at least two years ago he was)
Cain is better than pretty much any HW of the old era when he’s actually active.
So you’re wrong about HW as well.
What makes you think Jones is more athletic? Fedor looks a lot more explosive.
Jones cant dunk is an absolutely stupid point to bring up.
Stop trolling.
Dunking is a skill.It's an athletic feat that someone who is 6'4 and has an 81 inch reach should be able to do if they are a good athlete like you say.
Any version
Only an idiot would infer that I said Fedor was a bad athlete.
I said Jones is a better one, and I think it’s obvious.
You’re killing my very serious threadLMAO. Stipe is a part time fire man with no real martial arts background. He's a golden gloves boxer with low level wrestling. How in the hell is that better than 2005 when we had sambo world champions and K1 greats with 100 fights before MMA competing?
Did I quote you? Sensitive much? Touchy?
Are you having a bad day or something? Is that why you are trolling?
