I can't think of anyone off the top of my head who I would've favored over Cain, but I think prime Cro Cop would've given him trouble, especially if they fought in a ring. People forget but during his peak Cro Crop was incredible at negating his opponent's wrestling and forcing them to strike with him.
Cain admits Fedor is GOAT.
Fedor was clearly the best of his era. Had Fedor been 21 in 2006 and come up in the sport later maybe he competes with the best today.
But that doesn't mean we just create a fiction where his prime is somehow better than the best today.
He's fought the same two guys since 2010. Any fight someone can get knocked out/submitted and Fedor went 10 years without losing. Randleman, Cro-cop, Nog, Arlovski (in 09 of course) are all interesting, but the thing is it's in a ring and he can't do his cage thing in the ring.
Wow. Randleman was a middle of the road 205er, that would be like Cain fighting Bader even though bader is much more well rounded, more skilled, and more proven than Randleman.
Comparing Fedors era to now is like trying to compare Royce's to Fedors...
Fighters get better.
Todays Roy Nelson could beat Fedor's competition so, ya, I think Cain could too.
Nelson has beat both of fedora signature wins. By knockout none the less.
