Top Ten Heavyweights, All Time?

Title of the thread asks it all

Best of series.

We already did Light Heavyweight all-time best ( https://ninjasplace.forumotion.net/mma-f1/top-10-light-heayweights-of-all-time-t4574.htm?highlight=all+time ), now what about the big boys? Rank'em however you want.

What I'm thinking.

Fedor
Big Nog
Cro Cop
Randy
Barnett
Bas
Severn
Coleman
Frye
Timmy

Fedor
Randy
Big Nog
Cro Cop
Shammy
Rutten
Maurice Smith
Coleman
Frye
Severn

Mine is based on who they beat and/or who can beat them. Couldn't put Barnett in there because he's got caught with steroids his whole career.

01. Fedor Emelianenko
02. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira
03. Randy Couture
04. Mirko CroCop
05. Bas Rutten
06. Brock Lesnar
07. Dan Severn
08. Mark Coleman
09. Don Frye
10. Shane Carwin

quick question guys how does Rutten get rated higher than Ken when he went 0-2 against him?

Fedor
Randy
Nog
Coleman
Severn
Cro Cop
Lesnar
Bas
Frye
Carwin

I consider Ken as a light-heavyweight.

even though he beat Severn and Bas and damn near Frye

You know the answer to that question as well as anyone here bird. You wouldn't even be asking if it wasn't Ken in question. Would you not rank Matt Hughes above Dennis Hallman in an all time WW list despite Hughes being 0-2 against Hallman?

He beat them at openweight didn't he? He was never the heavyweight champion and Bas was.

he was superfight champ which ended up being the lineal title to the heavyweight championship

There were no weight divisions then though. When they started weight divisions he fought at light-heavyweight. It's like saying Royce Gracie was 1 of the best ever heavyweights also.

And/or who can beat them. How many heavyweights in history can beat Carwin? not many.

Josh Barnett would beat him in unspectacular fashion.

Kimbo
HMC
Bob Sapp
Ross Clifton
Wes Simms

top 5 are in a class of their own, no others are worth listing.

If Shamrock hadn't been on steroids Ross would be higher on the list.

He's been caught with Steroids too many times to be included.

How does that change the fact that he would beat Carwin? And wtf, Carwin is an all time top ten Heavyweight? Even bad jokes are supposed to be a little funny in a bad way. He just got tapped by a dude who didn't do roids just got caught with a giant duffel full of them. Hate on Barnett all you want, he is a better fighter than most.

My mistake, I don't know what I was thinking.

I mean clearly Wes Simms would beat Lesnar with a flying gogo anyday...

Without the roids he would be smaller, slower and much weaker. Therefor he wouldn't be as good of a fighter. Carwin would beat Barnett anyways.

Well anyone could say the same thing about Carwin, or Lesnar, or anyone else big. But I guess only people who got caught ever really did it.

It would look like it was straight out of the Tapout commercial
