Why Fedor not #1 P4P?

He has fought more guys that are far bigger than he is, Choi, Hunt, Zulu, and dominated them in spectacular fashion. So why not the best P4P. That is the criteria right? Taking on all comers no matter size difference or weight. Has Anderson done that? No. He is still the greatest fighter at 185, ever, yet how would he even be considered in the P4P rankings. This will be his first test at a different weight, against Irvin. Really, what has Irvin ever done? Let us all be serious and reasonable about this. The only reason Anderson is considered #1 is because UFC says so. Let's think for ourselves people. In my opinion P4P would look like this.
1. Fedor
2. BJ Penn
3. Wand

Time and time again these players have stepped way out of their comfort zone and fought guys, sometimes twice their size. Looks good IMO.

No, that is not the criteria. You can't just go around beating up fatties and then claim to be a P4P great.

The only reason Fedor has fought bigger guys is cause he is a HW and the class is so broad. Don't forget, he also fought guys smaller than him...so that is a minus in the P4P column...lol

No. Not fatties. Skilled fighters, that are legitimate, and dangerous. I would have liked to see Anderson fight Zulu, and finish him the way Fedor did. With a 200 pound disadvantage.

I agree 100 percent with the TS. Sherdog hasn't seen logic this pure in ages, so I expect everyone to be in a sort of shock and awe disagreeing with the OP.
