My favorite fighting family is the Klitchko's. Not the best ever, but they are some tough mofo's.

Royce was really the only Gracie who could dominate fights.

Don’t have a favorite family but I’d say Tito is probably the best fighter out there, even though Liddell beat him, it was only because Tito (who is not a striker) wanted to beat him punching not with submission fighting which he is. After the fight Liddell said, “I’m glad he was man enough to punch with me” basically he meant, “I would have lost if he was not stupid enough to pit fight me”.

That Wanderie what ever Silva is very good as well, has fought a lot and always wins.

i agree about tito.randy couture is probably the best all- around right now.

Actually he has not fought Rickson, who by the way is the best of the bunch.

I have been on the matts with various Gracies including Royce. Rickson is the baddest man I have ever met in my life.

i wonder how many of you realise that flex wheeler just won a tournament at the arnold for fighting

rofl

hes supposedly a bb in tkd according to some stuff on sherdog. he also supposedly quit bbing (maybe thats old news i dont follow it) due to kidney problems, which he blames on steroids and wants nothign to do with now

neverless, it was a full contact karate type tournament i believe...no groundwork though, and i think i read no knees

Fighting threads are absolutely ridiculous. Honestly, they are just one notch above "how effective is a punch to the throat". A fight is a fight. It's a series of reaction vs. reaction, and it has almost NOTHING to do with build, and everything to do with physics and another field of science I call "not being a little bitch".

Are we talking rules or a street fight? Waaaaaaaay big difference.

any professional, skilled, mixed martial art fighter can **** and defeat anyone of the pro bodybuilder in the scene right now. regardless of the mass difference between the two. period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That just simply isnt true, a light weight boxer for example would not have the punch power to knock out a 280lb guy, hence why all boxers arent in the same division. The lower weight boxers are short and puny, as long as a big guy protected his face and seized any oppurtunity to get hold of the smaller guy it would be all over, no matter how skilled a fighter u are if a guy much stronger gets u in a lock or hold, there is **** all u can do, u dont av to be a pro fighter to know how to instinctively grab a hold of some1. Heavyweight boxers are of course a diff story, they are hugely strong and muscular as well as being boxers, if i remember rightly lewis used to fight around 270 for example

roy jones jr would beat bodybuilders any size

Muscles don't make you tough. I seen plenty of muscular guys bitch up when the right circumstances present themselves.

so true. i cant tell you how many big dudes walk into the gym and want to box. we throw them in the ring for a round or two and you have to run after them to hit them again. happens every single day.
