Frank
Ken
bas
guy metzger

royce
Kerr


would any of them be truly relevant in 2016.

Frank was awesome and really well rounded. I dont know if he would have been championship material the guys are so fucking big today, but he was an absolute speciman

well if i had to bet on two from that list it would be kerr and frank. Old man mark coleman was able to get a win over Stephan Bonner...

 

[bjpenngoat]

Kerr was huge for the time but I dont think he is any bigger than jared rosholt. Times have changed.

Kerr was a monster. Period. He would be awesome today with some training.

Also give Frank a shot today if he had a training like the pros.

 

[ExitLUPin]

Wanderlei, Igor, Rizzo, Randleman, Coleman, Saku

Frank was awesome and really well rounded. I dont know if he would have been championship material the guys are so fucking big today, but he was an absolute speciman

He used to just walk in the cage at 195, no weight cut, no diet.
Later, with knee problems, he fought at MW and was still undersized.
With dieting and cutting, I think Frank could fight at 170.
He was a great athlete; explosive and excellent cardio. Great submission wrestler.
And he did beat Tito by just wearing him down.
He'd be a Top 5 WW easily.

Pedro Rizzo.

He'd chop up Jon's twig legs real good.

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

Vitor.
