Edgar, Aldo or Cruz?

Which of these fighters is the best in a p4p sense? Which of these fighters would win a round robin tournament? Which has the best striking? Who has the best wrestling? Footwork?

Aldo.

Faber and MTB are the two guys in WEC you would expect to atleast come close to grinding the guy or taking him down for the sake of point grubbing but they could not even get a good hold on him...Faber is an amazing fighter and Aldo made him look pedestrian. There is no Faber is slowed or blah blah blah, Aldo is just that good.

I'm still not entirely impressed with Cruz...i mean, he's the best BW right now but as for P4P, i like Edgar a lot more than him.

P4P- Aldo
RR Winner- Aldo
Striking- Aldo
Wrestling- Edgar
Footwork- Cruz although Edgar may have a legit claim to this after Joe B kind of got Cruz's timing down last fight and was nailing him with big shots when he came in. Cruz may look fancier but Frankie is actually probably more effective. So scrap that and make it Edgar

Frankie-Aldo would be a tough fight but I think Jose would do what BJ should have been more focused on and would kick the shit out of Frankie's legs in the first few rounds of their fight. Plus the speed wouldn't be noticeable like it was last night

This is a great point. I think Urijah Faber is as good or as close to as good as he's ever been at 145. Jose Aldo is just flat out better at his zenith than Faber was. I don't think either of these guys are taking him down.

The footwork of Edgar would be the most concern to Aldo but I think leg kicks could be the difference.

After Aldo disposes of Manvel like we all expect, is it time to pack on a few pounds and make the jump? What's left for him at FW in the WEC? Grispi?

P4P- Edgar
RR Winner- Edgar
Striking- Aldo
Wrestling- Edgar
Footwork- Edgar

Frankie Edgar twice beat the greatest Lightweight of all-time and has beaten Sean Sherk. Aldo has never been in the cage with anyone on that level.

Bump.

Same answer as before

Longevity and dominance in these champions yet people still are not being energized by this group of fighters.

Edgar is the best out of all of them.

I think Edgar may have finally flipped the-energize-the-fans switch.

I for one finally bought in.

yea I was kind of thinking the same. War Edgar.

edgar/cruz /aldo. in that order. of course aldo has the power to finish just about anyone unlike cruz so it could so be a toss up there
