If All Were Equalized In Size

chuckechan - 

Conor McGregor - would KO all cuz nobody moves like he moves, and nobody can take that left hand.



He'd be like Cro Cop. An elite HW, but not the best-of-the-best. A guy like Jones or Cornier or Cain would give him hell with thieir wrestling and pace.



He'd spark all of the strikers though

GuttyProfessor - 

I know many will think I'm crazy, but I don't think the GSP should even be on the list.


Straight Loco. Dude is pound for pound top 5 for sure. Where you put him in there is up for debate but nobody dominated like him. He ran that division. Even mighty mouse has had trouble. Most recently with Elliot.

People may think I'm crazy but DJ isn't top 5 for me. He is technically great but it's in a division where it's very difficult to get KO'd.

I said they retain their skill at peak levels.

This is stupid.

Then of course the smallest guys win. They get the size and strength advantage of being scaled up, but they don't lose the quickness and gas tank advantage of being manlets.

Bro, who wins, a human or an ant, if they are the same size, but the ant doesn't lose its super human strength bro, so it can literally lift a house 80x its body weight bro!

Exactly. Muscle strength is a product of its surface area. As you grow that surface area/strength grows by a factor of 2 (squared) but your body mass goes up by a factor of 3 (cubed: volume). You naturally are relatively slower and weaker the bigger you are.

Having Nogueira and Lesnar on the list, but no JBJ or GSP is criminal.

I'm not sure who I would pick but my only comment is what size are they fighting at? It changes things because some of those fighters have attributes that would serve them better at a heavier weight than a lighter weight and vice versa.

For instance, as others have mentioned DJ's skill set might not serve him as well at higher weights

This is such a stupid argument because a lot of guys attributes are directly related to their size.

It's just imaginary nonsense used to hype up the little weight classes.  

If Mighty Mouse had his same attributes at hw it would be like a mosquito biting those guys.

 

LBJ -

Hughes at 6'2 fighting in the 205 division is scary. He would throw JBJ over the top of the cage!

lol JBJ is a much superior wrestler to Hughes.

Fedor. In real life he wasn't very big at all. There are some MWs that are taller and/or bigger
