As long he never fought Barnett, i really can't say he is it yet.

Im not sure Im ready to say that Fedor is the "Michael Jordan" of MMA just yet. Yes, he is the best HW as of right now, and one of the most complete fighters of all time...BUT, he really hasnt defended his title much at all and he still has a lot more fights to go before Im comfortable crowning him as the best ever. Let's watch him fight Barnett and Mirko one more time before we start talking too crazy.

Eddy Merckx is the greatest sportsman in the world (cycling). Fedor is a great sportsman, but I think there are a few bigger than him.

You can't compare Team Athletes like Jordan to Fedor...........
But you can place him in pantheon side by side with Karelin, Sergei Bubka, Karl Lewis, Owens, Marciano, Jonathan Edwards or Sotomayor.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't confirmed that Lewis took illegal substances?
IMO you can't compare Fedor to Karelin. He is in the same league as the other guys you mentioned though.
