I Know leben Has improved greatly and has become a more intelligent fighter than when he fought Anderson. but......
How does ANderson make good fighters look SOOOOO BAD? Can we say this about any other Champion? He made Forrest's performance laughable, Rich looked amateur, and leben looked like an idiot. With that being said. I would love to see a Leben vs Anderson rematch.
"How does ANderson make good fighters look SOOOOO BAD?"
Because they all played directly into his strengths.
this anderson...he is something else. we may never see anyone like him in our life time.

Yeah, every fighter has played directly into his strengths.
Henderson = olympic-level wrestler known for inhuman chin, amazing sub defense, and massive punching power
Marquardt = powerful wrestler with blackbelt submissions, heavy GnP, and excellent standup
Franklin = good at everything; Anderson and Machida are the only guys EVER to get the better of him standing
Maia = one of the best submission guys in the sport; took down olympic-level wrestler Sonnen and has gotten every fight to the ground
....I guess it's easy to play into a guy's strengths when he is strong EVERYWHERE.
Yes.
I thought Fedor had the edge, but after his recent loss to a guy who I didn't rank so highly, Anderson is now the P4P best.
Fedor right now ranks a bit above GSP for me.
Leben always looks like an idiot. The whole 'he gets better when he gets rocked' thing might be fun for rednecks, I just think it's dumb.
