1) Hendo wasn't always "weaker" at 185. A lot of his PRIDE losses came at "Middleweight (203 u know what i mean). Anderson didn't have to beat Hendo at 205 because lil nog did. Hendo beat Renzo (those sound alike lol), Bustamante, Gono, Chonan (10-5 at the time with wins over good comp, like Carlos Newton.
2) That Vitor starched Lindland faster than Fedor did.
3) Forrest, does NOT suck. Heart for days, great conditioning, and good submissions alongside a large frame. Forrest beat Shogun, and Rampage back to back before losing to Evans. Put respect on his name. Forrest brawls when he gets hit. He tried to do with Anderson, but his distance control was on point. Forrest's defense normally is a good offense. Didn't work with silva.
4) Franklin is a great fighter. IDK what to tell you. The only bad loss on the resume is Cung Le. And cung was a former MW champ stunned Wandy too. Let's not forget, he was a finisher as well. Franklin is the same caliber win, if not better than AA.
Prime Arlovski got beat by big Timmeh. He's always been a glass cannon. 3 KO losses before the belt, and one was Datisk.
Fedor has Nog and Cro Cop, great wins, but the rest of his resume isn't stellar. At least Silva has Marquardt (Fomer strikeforce champ), Sakurai, Okami, Maia, and Sonnen (unofficial WEC champ).
Silva also tested himself in the UFC. Whether we like it or not, that means something. I'm not sold on your Fedor argument. Agree to disagree good sir!
