    OK so after a bif of discussion on these 3 I though id ask people to vote on who they think is the best out of these 3. I know rankings wise we have JDS top based on having bigger wins but opinion seems very split between who is the best fighter of the 3. If they were to all fight each other who comes out on top?

    I dont know if I can Vote on my own thread but my Pick is Carwin, He has been steamrolling everyone he has faces, is much bigger and more powerfull than the other 2 and has impressive standup and GnP.

    He hasnt showed weakenss at all apart from 1 shot from Gabe that Rocked him a bit, every other fight he is in and out in a minute job done... hell even in the Gonzaga fight his worst performance he mananged to stop Gonzaga is a minute!! 11 wins 11 finishes in the 1st round IMO puts him as a big favorite.

    http://mmalinker.com/videos/view/23442/Shane_Carwin_vs_Christian_Wellisch

    This fight showed he can take a shot or 2 and can deliver a punch with similar impact to a shotgun blast!






    Crazy big slam in this Video! shows a few older fights I had trouble getting a hold of, but it showed the big man does score a Td when he wants to and once he is on you he isnt getting off anytime soon! His power is incredible I remember him standing up with Gonzaga on top of him!

    Again not really top class opposition but again someone he steamrolled in no time.

    Good thread. For me its Carwin, i think he is better than the other 2 and can KO the other two and pretty much any HW he tags.

    The power he has is scary.

    I guess we will find out soon what they are all made of, Lesnar is a huge test for Carwin, even if he looses and makes it competitive he has a future, Nog is a massive one for Cain because he is so hard to stop and trying to avoid getting tapped by nog for 15mins is a scary prospect. JDS just needs a step up in opposition too, I really think the Kongo vs Mir winner would be great if they come out injury free and are good to go quickly.

    would just like to add Carwin needs to learn how to throw legs kicks, his legs are fooking massive, in the first fight it looks like he's wearin tightees!!!

    I picked Carwin by mistake but you know my pick is Dos Santos.

    How do you change?

    Haha I subliminely made you do it with all my Pro Carwin crap!! Laughing Ill have a look into it for you see if I can do anything, I was shocked to see no JDS picks! I think he would beat Cain if I had to pick one, even though they are fairly evenly matched... I hope I wrong and Cain lives up to his hype but Im not totally sold on him just yet.

    technically i think Valesquez is the best but i think if they where to fight carwin would beat him and JDS at the moment i think carwin would be too powerful for both of them but i see cain improving over the next year or two and beating him i think he will be champ by 2011

    Haha Laughing possibly.

    Im just not completely sold on Carwin right now. He very well could be the next best P4P fighter but right now he hasn't beaten anyone that is a top fighter or once was. I mean both Dos Santos and Velasquez could beat Neil Wain and Wheisiech with no difficulty. There are still things we need to learn about these three, how is Carwin's gas tank?, how good is Dos Santos on the ground?, does Cain have a weak chin?

    Honestly I can't see any of them beating Lesner right now, and no one else for that matter. I don't think any of them can handle his strength and size. Maybe after a year but right now no, its ridiculous Carwin was meant to (still might be) getting a shot so soon.

    All three still have a lot to prove, and I hope AA comes back and mixes it up with them.

    I'm going with Velasquez. I reckon he is the most well rounded fighter of the three and will hopefully develop into one of the top heavyweights in the world.
