You can't judge him entirely off of what he did almost ten years after he became the P4P
#1 .
People talking about these Japanese "cans" are ignorning something important. He did eventually beat Sylvia and Arvsloski. Now if you say "
They're trash"...then why the fukk is Fedor not facing the UFC heavyweights of his prime a valid argument against his greatness? He beat two of the dudes who were the best heavyweights UFC had to offer while he was at the peak of his prowess. The only people missing on his resume are Barnett, Mir, and Couture when it comes to contemporaries. The Barnett fight would've happened but Josh kept on losing to Mirko (who Fedor beat).
If you think 2004 Fedor wouldn't give 2004 Randy and 2004 pre-crash Mir that work then
I don't know what to tell you.
All that said, the current all-time P4P list has to start with Anderson and Fedor in any order.
