Huh... I thought that WAS why everyone else hated him. It's my problem with him anyway. Although to be fair, he is a competent wrestler.

That being said yeah, it does suck that he can kick Randy and Frank's collective asses largely because he's built like some fucked up Nazi supersoldier experiment. However, I think everyone here knows that no matter how much of an MA badass you are, an even marginally competent fighter with a big weight advantage will beat you. Only LARPers think t3h d34dly is going to save them from a behemoth like Brock. Just sux that there so far just hasn't been anyone big enough to effectively fight him.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Alot of little guys are scared shitless that size and power might actually matter in a fight.

Two ninety three.

Shane Carwin is going to embarrass Lesnar.

Please tell me what Shane Carwin has done to this point to qualify that statement. Talk about jumping on bandwagons. People's widespread hate for Brock has turned Carwin into the UFC's Obama.

Eh. Gonzaga's as tough as Mir and tougher than Herring. Brock has only one win more impressive than Carwin's, and unlike Carwin, he has a loss.

Carwin's KO of Gonzaga was goddamn impressive if you ask me.

So far you can only judge the two on the fights they have had. Carwen has fought 13 Pro fights and lost none. While Brock has lost 1 in 5.

So based on their records thus far, Carwin looks the more impressive.

Carwin's accurate as hell, hitting big mothers square on the jaw and leaving them unconscious before they hit the ground.

I'm one of the people that've repeatedly expressed non-hate for Lesnar.

Try again.

Well, I hate Lesnar and hope he loses very soon..I don't know enough about Carwin to predict whether he has a realistic chance or not.
Hell, if Kimbo gets through TUF and lands in the UFC maybe he can get a lucky shot in and KO him. That would be great !!
Ultiumate embarassment for Brock to get Ko'd by the former ghetto brawler..here's hoping for small miracles.
