pseudo- to say you dont buy into the hype because YOU haven't heard of any of his opponents, especially after you said you dont follow those weight classes, is ignorant. not trying to be disrespectful, but you cannot comment on something you already said you have no idea who they are. as for watching his fights, tsn2 aired it. plus, your on an mma torrent site. download it. download all of miguel. you will see why they say hes number 4 in the world, pound for pound. perhaps not after this loss, but to me, he will come back his next fight, even better, then beat the fuck out of that guy, then get the shot and take back the belt. bowles is a very talented guy. but as i said before, i dont think on the same level as torres. "But to be calling him amongst the best pound for pound? I don't know." but you haven't watch him. you dont know his opponents. you cant judge him. its like saying well this food sucks, but i never had it.
nosmoke- the problem with fedor now is that his record is not truely going to show his p4p ranking. his level of opponents hurts him. and signing with strikeforce is even worse. but i stand by the fact that every great fighter will lose. and fedor is no exception. but for the sake of arguement, lets say he does not lose and retires. are people really gonna look at his record and be like o shit, he beat the best in the world. no, they are going to say, wow, at one time, he was facing the best, then just took on less talented guys. this is like anderson and leitas and cote. they dont belong with anderson. they didn't desaerve a shot. the 185 weight class was a joke for the ufc at the time, and still is, but at least they have hendo and belfort there now.
