Skills wise, who is the HW GOAT?

Fedor

Nobody close to his well rounded skillset, even today.

But for bigger guys, then you’re talking Nog, Barnett, Werdum, Mir, maybe even Rothwell somewhere in there.

If Uberreem didn’t horsemeat and stayed under crocodile weight, he’s in the conversation.

Fedor or DC

Lesnar

DC, Fedor, or Werdum. DC beats all of them.

Big Nog.

Big kop

kop. It’s not even debatable.

kingofpancakes80 - kop. It's not even debatable.

That’s debatable 

In your opinion, I think you meant. Followed by drool.

Prime Big Nog is my pick. Couldn't be KO'd, could submit you in ANY round, had very good boxing and didn't have any real disadvantages.

Fedor mauled him in his guard twice. 

It made Khabib’s maulings seem tame in comparison.

Best all around has to be Cain right? 

Great striking, wrestling and grappling mixed with a good chin, unstoppable Cardio and great fight iq. 

The fuck has cain done other than beat the same 3 people multiple times over his last few fights? Rogan has a hard on for him for some odd reason so you chimps just mimic it. Sad.

THIS. I’ll never understand the ridiculous Cain hype.

Whilst there's criteria that one can come up with to disqualify Fedor, such as best wrestler or best bjj HW. The best undefeated streak at the prime of the division utilising plenty of striking and grappling does demonstrate that Fedor had the best all round HW skill set ever.

I agree with you even though you're a douche 

Sea level Cain

The Lion King - 

If Jones decided to compete at heavyweight then he would be the best heavyweight ever and would beat any heavyweight ever. 

But out of the fighters who have actually competed at heavyweight 

1. Fedor - outstruck CroCop and Hunt. Outgrappled Nog and multiple Olympic judoka and wrestlers 

2. Nog - Best jiu jitsu practitioner in HW history (outgrappled Werdum) along with amazing boxing, cardio, etc. 

3. Crocop - World class kickboxer with impeccable TDD 

4. Overeem - World class kickboxer with impeccable TDD

5. Werdum - 2nd best BJJ practitioner in HW history with high level striking. Dangerous everywhere 

Honorable mention: Cain 

regarding nog being better at bjj than werdum

yes nog decisioned him once

but werdum subbed him once

and common opponents: fedor beat nog 2x, werdum subbed fedor... cain ko'd nog and werdum subbed cain....

Cain was touted as the best in the world by fighters and trainers long before Rogan joined his fan club.

Naw, not really. What the fuck is his trainer supposed to say? Cain was considered the best once he beat Lesnar. He started in the UFC tlat 4-0 iirc. So Rogan was right there as the hype gathered and probably generated most of Velasquez’s hype calling his fights.

Skill wise I'd go overeem, even though I rate fedor number one hw. Reems biggest downfall was his gas tank and chin, not any technical defencies.
