If Brock Lesnar committed to his punches and wasn't afraid to get hit would he be GOAT heavyweight?

[wonderbread]

I just finished watching his return bout where he pissed hot and he looked great against Mark Hunt, the guy regardless of pissing hot is a freak athlete. you just cant come back and do something like that unless you are special.

His only weakness is getting hit he hates it, he doesn't have a glass chin by any means he has a pretty good chin he just doesn't like getting hit there and will curl in a ball to avoid getting hit with a barrage, if he wasn't afraid to get hit and actually stayed patient and committed to his punches he would be deadly, he has that freakish long reach and probably one of the quickest sprawls for his size.

I don't think we will ever see another guy like that in MMA again for a long ass time, weight 260 plus and moved like a freaking lightweight weigh ton his feet, freakish power in his hands, explosive as well.

His eyes are too close together. You know what that means.

 

[cevo]

His technique standing up was still shit.

Also he's way too heavy for a competitive 25-minute fight. Especially now with USADA. Having that much muscle comes at a price, he was definitely on every PED known to man to be able to keep that body going for more than a couple minutes.

 

[faustian]

If he was made of adamantium and had minivans as hands I'm sure he'd be GOAT. I'm sure of it.

No way he could weigh in at 265 with all that shit. He'd need some kind of gravity suit or something u retard

Eaten alive by who?

Lets look at Cains run to the belt:

Jake O'Brien - Average wrestler got nothing for Brock

Denis Stojnic - Do I even need to comment?

Cheik Kongo - despite his decent striking (and dropped Cain) he decided to grapple in nearly all his UFC fights and would get mauled by Brock

Ben Rothwell - A tough guy but not particularly skilled anywhere, not sure where he would beat Brock.

Big Nog - Waay past his prime at this point, sure there's a freak chance old man Nog could sub Brock but I wouldn't put money on it and he's too slow and weak at this point to oustrike Brock.

What do you think?

Kongo, Nog and Rothwell would be very tough fights for Brock. He didnt have the striking of Cain or the ability to take punishment. Nog would probably sub him or knock him out. Imagine if he had to fight Werdum in his debut like JDS did.

Brock was 1-1 with a win over Heath Herring when he got his title shot. There is no evidence he could go on a long undefeated streak like the other fighters had to. He was gifted his way to the top.

 

[Private Whatley]

He started a bit too late and trained too sporadically but he obviously had all of the ingredients to be one of, if not the greatest HW fighter of all time; high level wrestling pedigree, freakish athleticism for his size, a naturally gigantic frame - roids or not, there's no question that he'd be a gigantic dude regardless - and a neck and melon designed to eat punches. It's also worth noting that his explosive style of wrestling is ideally suited to MMA unlike that of an ankle pick or arm drag specialist. He also clearly packs heavy hands despite his limited technique. At that size, cardio would always be a concern but man, imagine him jumping right into mma out of Minnesota.

 

[Theproof]

He had legit power and reach, he could easily use that to KO Cain who has a glass chin, but he feared getting hit, his chin isn't even bad he just curls up and covers up he doesn't like getting hit at all.

I mean nobody likes getting hit but for him he didn't take it well, other wrestlers were able to take punishment and go forward and remain calm, if Lesnar had composure he would be so crazy with his sprawl and brawl with those long arms and power

Lol at "could easily do Cain". Sounds like a butthurt WWE fanboy.

My thoughts exactly. Not to mention he wouldn’t even be able to lift his hands to punch.
Full retard here folks. Ban this idiot!

 

[ajwbjj87]

He couldn't pass a drug test if the live of his entire family depended on it.

He could prolly stop taking them and still fail 5 years from now from how many he has taken in his life .

 

[dangerousD]

No he's a cheater with zero standup skills

That escalated quickly....

Naw what's retarded is all these threads saying "if xxx had done xxx different, they'd be GOAT!!"

It gets a little old.

Edit: Oh, and obviously some people can't sense sarcasm

 

[Claude]

Brock is not a fighter.

 

[BBMN]

If he had entered in the MMA right out of college, focused on striking, he would probably just a revered at Fedor.

Don’t try to play the sarcasm card now!

 

[12ga.]

You mean like put a Diaz brain in Brock body? Yes.

Diaz's arnt even athletes I'm zero fast twitch or strength. Couldnt dunk a basket ball no matter how much they trained. But are some of the best fighters in the world all based on will power and toughness.

Put that brain in a specimen like brock would be GOAT.

Brock is pretty much a bully which means pussy when chips are down. Like opposite of fighters in my sig.

Lol....

 

[smithnwssn]

No because his MMA wrestling was really overrated. Not to mention we'd have to see how he would do off of steroids.
