How high could he be ranked in the HW division currently? I was really high on Carwin and was one of my favorite HW and I thought for sure he'd run thru Brock (which he did, but gassed bad). With that being said, I think Carwin (in his prime before injuries) beats everyone except Cain and JDS. Werdum would be a toss-up, depending if Werdum can survive round 1.
this, I think he would beat cain early, hes a terrible match up for him, but jds is a bad match up for him, lesnar has he taken it seriously would have been the best, he has the reach of bones jones, the speed n power of melvin maneoff, the strength of pudzanoski, the chin of nelson, and could have easily been a hw gsp with ko power

You guys saying bottom top 10 are funny. Carwin was undefeated for the first five years of his career, two of those years in the UFC. Almost all of his wins were vicious knockouts in the first 2 minutes.
I like Brock and I think he was severely under-rated by poseur MMA n00bs who like to pretend that they're knowledgeable about the sport by bashing him however Carwin destroyed Brock and only lost because he punched himself out. In his next fight he lost a DECISION to JDS. Carwin destroyed one former champion, almost beat another, and lost to a third by decision. If he were still fighting today and didn't have injury problems he would be top 5 without a doubt. In fact he would be a very dangerous match-up for Cain stylistically...
Depends on injuries. If his back wasn't fucked up I'd say he'd still be top 10. Granite jaw, huge KO power, long reach, strong as fuck and solid wrestling.
