Your LHWs are pretty spot on.  I find it comical that your top 3 heavy's all happen to be non-UFC fighters...lol.

Great lists. I'd switch Velasquez with Dos Santos, though.

This weekend did a great job showing that Strikeforce has the best HWs around right now.

Werdum 3?  haha..  I can see the argument for Fedor at #1, but what about Lesnar or Carwin?  You can't seriously think they don't qualify as being in the top 5!!?

You would say this no matter what the outcome of the weekend was.  If either Lesnar or Carwin got KO'd, you say they suck and have no chin.  If it went the decision you'd say they can't end fights.

Give it up bro.  Strikeforce has some good HW's, but you're blind if you think UFC doesn't.  It's comical actually to read your posts.

The question is...Who do I think is top five in each div?  Here's my Hw's

Fedor/Werdum
Velasquez
Roy Nelson
Overeem

Roy Nelson is the most overlooked guy in the UFC right now. After Brock showed that if your a decent wrestler and is able to throw a punch he'd run and fake a heart attack, Roy's chances are looking good.  Dos Santos is impressive, but at this point he's been spoonfed strikers and in return has delivered.  We finally get to see how he'd fare against a good wrestler with top notch BJJ, solid boxing, good cardio and a wealth of experience.  (that plus he's 265lbs, and it dosent slow him down).  Carwin's gas tank is pretty sad, it reminds me of a prime Frank Mir. Velasquez is impressive, his chin has truly been tested, he took punches flush on the jaw and kept coming, he did't get grazed and run and fetal.  His combinations are impressive and he mixes hands and feet well, his cardio is solid and he shown he can recover from a flush shot quick, and if it's not working out on the feet he has his wrestling.  Him and Roy are in the same boat except Roy is carrying some weight on him, however Cain's lack of size makes him quick.  Fedor is still the most well rounded HW out there regardless of the arbitrary rankings, Werdum is ok on the feet, he's got good leg trips, but just so happens to be the best BJJ practioner in the HW division in all of MMA.  
Predictions
 40/61

I dont think Nelson is as overlooked as you think, he's been fighhting like 10 years and he's nowhere near the top or the top of his game, he was a champ before but in a small org.. he maybe a little overlooked but he's not top 5 material.

He had a hard time beating Kimbo ffs..

WTF are you talking about ???  He toyed with Kimbo.  He also called exactly how he would beat him and did it ::)  IMO, Big Country is definitely in the top 5.

Sherdog has Werdum at #2, retard. ::)

I see no reason to rank either Carwin or Lesnar in the top 5. Both of them embarrassed themselves this weekend.

Why should Carwin be top 5?  He gassed before the end of round 1. 

Why should Lesnar be top 5?  He turned his back and RAN from punches, then when he got hit and fell to the ground he assumed the fetal position.

Sad thing is those are the UFC's top ranked heavyweights according to them, and they both looked like a couple of amateurs in the fight.

Hahaha, the UFC HW division is still a joke. This weekend showed that Strikeforce has the best HWs in the world right now.
