Wanderlei is up there for sure. I can't wait to see if he and CroCop will stay on the feet and trade or if it will end up on the ground. My fingers are crossed for it to stay up so we can witness two of the best standup fighter's in MMA go at it.

As far as strikes go, the only time he really got dominated was against Vitor. He had Ortiz running from him at one point in their fight and he KO'd Petarra when they fought with a big knee.

Plus he has strung together some impressive KO/TKO's since fighting in Pride and that counts for something. IMHO

Definitly a toss up between Bas Rutten and Wanderlei Silva!

Vitor Belfort. He definitely has the fastest hands around.

We picked Chuck Liddell, but we may change with all of the valid points you guys are making.

I was going to chose Phil Baroni, he had quick powerful hands, but I chose Arlovski, I just love Arlovski's speed and Technique, his punches are so clean and crisp. Arlovski get's my vote.

We love Arlovski also, but he's been a little disappointing lately.

Arlovski will be back for sure. Just look at the string of victories he put together over some very good fighter's before getting de-railed by Sylvia.
