wasn't and def not a wwe fan LOL, thats the only thing i don't like, i really wish he would've never been in the wwe


meh, i don't like brock in particular but i wouldn't fault him for using his skills to make money. If the wwe offered me a high profile job like brock had i would take it. At this point though i really do hope he gets better and comes back 100%, theres no denying he makes HW exciting.

I got nothing against Brock, personally. And I don't take anything away from his wins. He won the belt, fair and square.

What does irritate me, is people calling Brock the best heavyweight ever...

This.. I like brock I think he has tons of potential and with the right training and coaching he COULD possibly be one of the best heavyweights ever. But not yet. He hasnt overcame adversity he hasnt done things that Fedor has done in a fight. Brocks chin has yet to be tested. He could drop like a bad habbit, we just dont know. He has to be in those wars and come out on top.

Yeah, but i'd also like to argue that Fedor is the best heavyweight, like Ali was the best boxer or Michael Jordan was the best basketballplayer or Babe Ruth was the best baseballer (dunno much about baseball, so correct me if you feel it's necessary).

They have earned that title. It doesn't strip them of their title, if they were beaten once by a promising and upcoming new athlete.
They are a hallmark for the sport. They have proven themselves time and time again against the best competition that was available at the time.

Does anyone want to argue the fucking insanity of Fedor winning fight after fight against Crocop, Nog, Coleman, Randleman, Fujita, Sobral (all fighters who were at the top of their game at that time)?

As I said, Brock is a legit HW and a legitimate UFC HW champion. No denying that. Has he been in legendary battles against legendary fighters at the top of their game? HELL NO.

I wouldnt say he won it fair, he earned a title shot with out having to prove himself against the rest of the heavy weight division, he was giving a titleshot based only on his status with the fants

Beating Herring and losing to Mir hardly qualifies you for a title..

Dana White thought he deserved it and thats all that matters. People dont like Brock for that reason that he got a title shot to early but hell it wasnt up to him and anyone else would have taken it. That was the fight people wanted to see at the time, and thats his job. Brock is a money maker, like tito rather you like them or not people wanna see them fight.
