Create the Ultimate Battle of the Century

[Tasselfoot]

you are not helping your cause here kilga... you're gonna try to toss a PROFESSIONAL WRESTLER into the mix.... fine, he won an Olympic Gold, but if you are gonna go for a wrestler... why not take Aleksandr Karelin? he went from 1988-2000 without losing a match, and wasn't even SCORED ON from 1993-2000, until he lost 1-0 to Rulon Gardner in the Sydney Olympics Gold Medal Match.... the guy is 6'4 300lbs. that is the wrestler i'd take.

now, its also been proven that Wrestlers aren't the best at MMA fighting, although Dan Severn was very very good...

[Kilgamayan]

Because the man essentially won Olympic Gold with a broken neck.

Unless that was something the WWE made up for his injury storyline.

Either way, shut the fuck up about who I pick and make your own goddamn decision. This isn't "Tasselfoot chooses 7 people".

[jewpinthethird]

please. can we seriously leave Actors out of this? everyone knows they are not the top fighters. they just look pretty.

chuck norris, bruce lee, jackie chan, jet li, steven segal, etc.

no one would want to see Oleg Taktarov in a movie. the man is butt ugly. but he is one darn good fighter.

plus, all the top fighters don't use karate or other kick/punch type martial arts. grappling is the key to fighting dominance. it just doesn't look good on TV. take the superfight between Ken Shamrock and Hoyce Gracie in UFC 5. that fight went 45 minutes, over 40 of them on the ground with Hoyce on his back and Ken on top trying to beat the crap out of him. for 45 minutes they faught, neither one of them giving an inch or leaving anything unexposed. it was an excellent excellent fight and went to a draw. it easily could have gone another hour. fighting like that does not make for exciting tv/movies, although its much more realistic (gee, cause it is real... )

Bold: Oh no you didn't. Bruce Lee, if he werent so dead, could kick anyone's ass. He is/was the ultimate top fighter.

Underlined: Chuck Norris is far from pretty.

[Tasselfoot]

fine fine fine... bruce lee is a good fighter. we've all seen the movie.

and you can't argue semantics with dead guys... i'd vote for Helio Grace over Bruce Lee, when both were in their primes. they fought completely differently... and it has been proven time and time again that the top grapplers are better fighters than the top karaters in MMA competition.

Mr. T

SECOND'D

I also nominate McGuyver, even though I don't think he is eligible.

[Anticrombie0909]

How have you people not recognized the X-treme badassery (so extreme is he that he deserves a sufficiently badass description) of Bruce Campbell?



This...is my BOOMSTICK!



"Hail to the King, Baby."

[Omeganitros]

Yeah, okay. I guess I might not have made myself clear.

You can nominate one person. You can second any other person's nomination.

Example:

"I nominate Gengis Khan because blahblahblah. I also second That Guy, This Guy, That Other Guy, and That Girl."


And man, the last time I saw UFC was when I was 8 or something. I miss it.

[emccky]

Al Capone. And who the hell are you Tass to tell who people can pick and can't? It's their choice, not yours. Also, Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan both do/did all of their own stunts. They both can ACTUALLY fight and aren't TV made fighters.

[Tasselfoot]

emccky, no duh they know how to fight. they all know how to fight, and are all good fighters... but i don't care who you are. any of the martial artists would lose to a top grappler. watch any MMA fight, the grappler ALWAYS wins.

i'm no one to decide who people choose... but the overall decision should be a well informed and educated decision, and no offense at all to kilga... but his choices just aren't the best posible, even for their respective accomplishments. so i feel its at least my duty to recommend the correct choice within the suggested category and state my reasons why. if i don't explain why, then its just random arguing. when facts are brought in, then it clearly shows reasoning as to why said named person wouldn't be as good of a choice as other said person. and, if you would like me to delve further into the WSM debate, i would be happy to.

[Kilgamayan]

It isn't your "duty" to do jack fucking shit in this topic unless it requires a lock.

Either contribute a name or get the hell out, because no one wants to hear it.

Shot. Down.





I would pick...

Ray Lewis

[Tasselfoot]

i'm pretty sure i contributed a bunch of names, any of which would make an excellent addition to this list.

and kilga, c'mon... you should know better than having to use profanity to get your point across.

[Kilgamayan]

It's not there to help get the point across, it's there to make me feel better.
