In his prime only 2 guys turned out his lights and that was Houston and Wand. Who at that time had more explosiveness and more power then Leben ever had IMO. He held his own vs guys much better then Leben ever was and had just as much power. I don't think it's competitive if they fight at their peak. On their best nights, it's Jardine by domination.

Not how I would describe Jardine. At all.

thats exactly why browne gets texeria, brown has like 20 inches and 40 lbs on glover

Size is far from everything. Glover is probably one of if not the biggest LHW as it is anyways. Those pounds and inches wouldn't change the actual talent both guys currently posses.

of coarse size isnt everything but both are good fighters at high level of competition so in that case yes size does matter.

I think Glover's talent on the feet or the mat is much better then Browne's along with a few other high ranked HWs.  And that Glover is big enough to use that talent to toss around Browne more likely then the other way around. He fights in a way that seems like it would get him pretty far at HW I've thought for a while.

I agree with Cu Bu, Browne is way too big. Glover isn't Jon Jones.

Jardine has a more impressive resume in a more talented division. Leben even got his ass beat when he was roided out his ass. Leben never could have done what Jardine did.

I was trying to think of competitive matchups people haven't talked about too much.

I'd go the same but am starting to think Jorgensen might be a bad match up for Moreas if it went to the ground, even if it was because Moreas dropped him.

Pitbull vs Barbosa, the fans win.

Minakov vs Struve is a toss up. I think Minakov has enough talent though, and probably smarter/better game plan to utilize.

I think Chandler could find Pettis as much as Pettis could Micheal, but I think Pettis would get dumped hard if Chandler wanted to go there.

I think Pitbull vs Barbosa is a toss up. I think Chandler is the best LW in the World right now and I think Pettis is probably pretty comparable to Alvarez. Chandler has the chin, wrestling, cardio and power to give Pettis fits.
