I disagree with peoples assessment of Lesnar/ Fedor completely.
Lesnar doesnt have enough of a body of work, or enough of a resume to accurately calculate how a fight with Fedor would go. Really, Lesnar has not been tested yet at all. Nobody has really pushed the pace with Lesnar and tested his conditioning. Nobody has really traded with Lesnar and tested his chin. And after 5 fights, ( 2 of them which came against Frank Mir) it is impossible to predict how a fight with Fedor might go.
Thats what makes the fight with Carwin so compelling. Another big guy with great power, a good chin, good wrestling and a legit record. If Lesnar beats Carwin ( and depending on how) I think we might be able to have a serious discussion about him being able to beat Fedor. Until then, its like comparing a rookie pitcher who wins his first Cy young against Bob Gibson or Tom Seaver.
Striking, Fedor is much better. Lesnar is slower, less coordinated and so far his punching power has been utilized against Frank Mir and a washed up Texas Crazy Horse ( I dont mean ground and pound, I mean standing and striking.).
On the ground, its not even worth waisting the time to debate. Fedor has the best submissions out of any heavyweight in MMA history, except for Minotauro imo.
Experience, heart, intelligence in the ring, versatility= Fedor, Fedor, Fedor, Fedor.
Lesnar has two distinct advantages= Size/ Strength and pure wrestling. Thats it.
