What Did Shane Carwin Have Over Tank Abbott?

[superpunch]

Shane Carwin was a great UFC HW recently and made his way to a title shot, which he almost won.

Now that I think of it, I can't really think of anything that Shane Carwin had that Tank Abbott didn't. Tank was a 290 lb NCAA wrestler with 1 punch KO power.

Could a prime Tank actually compete in today's division and win some fights? Be a top 10? 5? Contender?

Way better steroids.

The amazing ability to fluctuate height

Shane Carwin is a poor man's Tank Abbott.

Shane carwin is probably the most overated fighter ever lol.

He had big power in the HW division which usually means of you land you win. But...his skillset was not that good and the skills of guys now are way better. And i like carwin.

Tank was a freak athlete at one point.

Better athleticism & way better training.

The biggest god damn hands that ever graced the end of a mans wrist.

That's Lesnars fist on the left

HMC had much bigger hands than Lesnar.

 

[filthynumber1]

Tank was Carwin and Carwin was tank, just different eras and different supplements

Actually training

Didn't Tank use to bench 600 pounds and slap Tito around in sparring? That's kinda like Carwin's training, lifting and KOing Schaub.
