i know that Hughes is ranked higher as pound for pound, but i actually think Franklin is better. I know that Franklin hasn't been around the UFC as long as Hughes or had that title too long. But I think Franklin has better all around skills. He can stand up and strike and knockout opponents, as well as ground and pound like most top wrestlers, and he knows submissions. Hughes is really just a grappler that takes the fight to the ground and pounds his opponents, or submits him. I never see him standup and strike.

What do you guys think??
