Man you are absolutely giving DC no credit.
Cain was obviously still a green striker in his 5th pro fight against Kongo. Crazy how people always bring this fight up.
It's like judging Alex Gus's grappling in his prime based off how he looked against Phil Davis.
Based on what?????Nostalgia fan bois will say Aspinall would lose

Cain is 50/50. Tom is much quicker and more accurate than anybody Cain ever fought, and he was always defensively irresponsible so I can see Aspinall catching him with the 1-2 on the way in and putting him out more often than not. Cain could definitely make Tom have to answer the questions we all still have about his cardio though.
DC- Probably the worst matchup for Aspinall of the bunch. I think he outwrestles Tom pretty easily and throws him around a bit to win a decision.
JDS- Great boxer but doesn't have the speed and footwork. Bad Matchup for JDS. Early finish for Aspinall I think. Tko.
Reem- One of the more difficult fights for Tom due to his dominance in the clinch and his kicking and kneeing game. Still think his chin doesn't hold up though, but could go either way.
Werdum- Struggles badly with Aspinall. So much slower it isn't even funny. Runs into something trying to chase him down and close the distance, similar to the Stipe fight.
Carwin and Brock- Mismatches tbh. Carwin too slow and ploddy even for JDS, Brock would turtle up the first time Aspinall touched him with the 1-2.
Brock should not even be here.Rate Aspinall’s skill level. How would he do against the HWs from the early 2010s decade?

Tell me about it. My first account here was in 2003 and that was 21 years ago.I refuse to accept that 2014 was 10 years ago.
Cain must have an amazing chin to be taking all those hard shots from HWs since he only got dropped one time in his prime, which was against an all time great (prime JDS) when he was hit behind the ear which messed his equilibrium up.Cain got better at his entries, but his striking defense never really improved. He got caught with hard shots multiple times in his career because of it.
