How much more proof do you need?

[BowserJr]

Waldo Acosta is top 5 HW.

He barely scraped by super old super shop worn Arlovski.

You morons who claim the newer generation is always better are hilarious.

What do you think a peak Arlovski would've done to where's Waldo?

If you think Gane, Tom or any other current HW would come close to being top 3 (much less Waldo a top 5) at any time from 2003-2015, I want what your smoking.

Werdum, Cain, JDS, Barnett, Carwin, Brock, Fedor, Nog, Crocop, Tim, Arlovski, Reem all destroy today's HW with ease.

Heck even Rothwell, Nelson, Big Cat, Crazy Horse or Gonzaga would be top 3 today

 

[wrestlefan]

You're right, but people on here won't believe it.

random fact: Waldo Acosta is neither relative to Jose Aldo nor Paulo Costa

 

[Tweak896]

I saw all his fights and doubt him every time and he keeps winning. I used to say he was never top 5 material, but he's been active in a division where everyone sits around. Tough to finish and KOing everyone. Still, lost to a broken Pavlovich though. Also I can't really say he has any skill that is elite.

But can any of the heavyweights from 10+ years ago throw a 100mph fast ball? That's what I thought.

 

[gunlok]

so this proves that Ngannou did have a point, when he was demanding more money. Cause there are few of active mma heavyweights, who can carry the division at the highest level

Crazy Horse?

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

Crazy Horse?

He’s got a monument in South Dakota. Highly recommend

 

[Hymen Crusher]

I love arlovski but tom would fit right in he would win some lose some how hw has always and will always be.

 

[Yep]

But can any of the heavyweights from 10+ years ago throw a 100mph fast ball? That's what I thought.

How do you think the UFC manages to pick people so good at lying to employ?

 

[Neck&Neck]

Ok Boomer

A monument is clearly heavyweight. My mistake.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

I’ll need a 5-page paper (double spaced) with at least 3 peer-reviewed sources

 

[Subline]

Tom could definitely hang with those guys, HW overall is really bad though yea.

 

[Black Blood]

Tom and Gane would actually fit right in with the HWs of yesteryear.
