I won't say Lesnar is the greatest ever, but how can you say that he's Kimbo with a straight face?

Kimbo was all hype and no substance and was protected better than Fort Knox till that last fight. They did everything they could to keep him out of danger.

Lesnar on the other hand has done nothing but fight tough guys and legit threats. So who are you kidding?

No sir, I would not like to see this fight. The only reason being is that I am a HUGE LEsnar fan and I think Josh is one of only 4 men that can beat Lesnar right now and I don't want that to happen. I would call a sub of Barnett in the second or third round.

the others I think can beat him I'm sure are obvious but; Fedor, Nog and AA

Barnett is a great fighter, but i hate watching him fight. I always stare at his friggin man titties floppin around everywhere along with his gunt. Can't take my eyes off. Does that mean i'm gay?

At this point, Josh Barnett (and several other top MMA fighters) would beat Brock Lesnar.

However, Lesnar's still raw and green, but this guy has talent, a lot of attributes, a lot of potential, and desire.
If Lesnar sticks with this, he'll be really something else.

I think the UFC has moved him way too fast.
5 or 6 fights against 2nd and 3rd tier opposition would have developed him better.
Lesnar's not going to be prepared properly for what he'll face when he's put in there with a prime young top fighter.

Moving a talented prospect too fast results in destroying the prospect.
Slow, steady development consisting of gradually increasing the level of opposition is the way to go...until the fighter is ultimately developed enough that he can be confidently thrown in there with anybody.

UFC rushed him because they want the money Lesnar will generate right NOW.

No Mr. Thread Starter I would not. I see Barnett being one of the four men that could beat Brock, and as a HUGE Lesnar fan I don't want to see that happen just yet. I'd say Josh by sub(probably leg lock of one sort or another) in the second or third round.

I'm sure the other 3 are obvious but if you ask me Fedor and Barnett WOULD beat him and AA and NOG have a good chance of it.

Hell yeah that would be a great fight. Two huge guys and brock would be fighting someone that would level out the size advantage.

Sure, that's a fight I'd like to see. But first I want to see Josh take on Fedor.
