    How is a guy whose biggest asset is his size in a p4p list? P4P = skill set if everyone was the same size. Are you seriously saying Lesnar is the 9th most skilled mixed martial artist in the world? Rashad at 7? So, say if Rashad fought Fedor at their walkaround weights, which I presume is somewhat similar, then Rashad would win?

    I see you haven't given your top 10.

    This is my opinion. This is based on current results. Who's Fedor fought of worth since 2006? His last six fights have been, Matt Lindland 04/07, Hong-Man Choi 12/07, Tim Sylvia 07/08, Arlovski 01/09, Brett Rogers 11/09 and Werdum 06/10. Now he won all those fight bar the first time he meets some one with skill. A current pound for pound is based on recent results and Fedor's dont't stack up. Lesnar's competition has been real. I'm not a fan of Lesnar but the facts stand up for themselves. He lost his first fight through naivety and since then has powered through the competition. Rashad evans has only been beaten by Machida the former champion and Evans has a who's who of victories on his record.

    I respectfully disagree. Lesnar fought once in a year, against Carwin. Who has Carwin beaten? Mir? Who has Mir beaten? Kongo, zombie Nog? Who has Nog beaten since 2006? Herring, Tim Sylvia (who you claim isn't worth anything) and Couture? Who has Couture beaten at heavyweight since 2006? Sylvia (again, who you claim is worthless) and Gonzaga?

    It's easy to discredit Fedor's wins with some revisionist history, but at the end of the day, if you're going to use that criteria against him then why not use it against everybody? Evans is 7 on your p4p but Machida isn't? Where's the logic? Rua is below Evans who just dismantled Machida. And Rashad's record does NOT read like a who's who of LHW. I really can't see any consistent criteria in your picks.

    Mine would be,

    1, Anderson Silva
    2, Georges St. Pierre
    3, Fedor Emelianenko
    4, Mauricio Shogun Rua
    5, Jose Aldo
    6, Jake Shields
    7, Gerard Mousasi
    8, BJ Penn
    9, Lyoto Machida
    10, Jon Fitch

    Make of that what you wish. Fitch may have made it in there because of a man crush. I begrudgingly put Shields in even though he's such a boring fighter.
