Will Brock earn your respect if he DESTROYS the winner of Mir/Carwin after layoff?

We saw how terrible Mir looked after his layoff getting crushed against guys who weren't even real HW's when he came back from his accident, my question is, after all that time off, losing weight, and being seriously ill will you respect Brock or at least admire him if he comes back and destroys Mir/Carwin?

One has to respect Brock's fast learning aptitude and gaining the UFC title with relative ease. If he comes back stronger after his "layoff" then I can't see someone not respecting his abilities. However, that doesn't automatically mean one should respect him as a person. I do though.

He's made a career of playing the bongos on Mir's head so that ain't impressing anyone.

Carwin is overrated. One win over a top guy where he almost lost doesn't make him world class.

I don't understand that at all. Fedor is the one who had the chance to sign the contract to make that fight happen and chose the B promotion instead.

I respect Brock already. The guy's shown incredible abilities. I'd fully expect a healthy Brock when he fights again so I won't necassarily have a greater respect for him if he wins because of the sickness. The victory alone should serve as more fodder for why he's the Champion. That alone should garner respect.

you say respect or at least admire. I'd begrudgeingly respect him long before I ever admired him.

He'll seem more legit, at least in terms of experience, but he won't have earned any real respect until he stops acting like such a d-bag. Many of the same arguments will still apply anyway, especially if he fights Mir again.

I'll give Lesnar some love but respect? That's pushing it don't you think?

I hope he fights carwin - Don't really want to see Lesnar put another beating on Frank
