Default Who can give Fedor a good fight?

After watching him steamroll through his opponents it's comon opinion that Fedor is the best HW mma in the world, but who would give him a run for his money. Not necessarily beat him, but put up a good show.

I'd say Hunt, but the list is quite small.

Actually I know there's a lot of polls already, but I'll put up one about it (my last one, I promise!)

I was gonna pick Hunt also, but I see Fedor submitting him with ease.

Everyone on there aside from Kharitonov and Arlovski and Hunt has been beaten by Fedor before, so out of those I went with Arlovski.

Mark Hunt vs. Fedor would be great fight.Mirko/fedor 2 would be awesome. Josh Barnett and Fedor have a bit of a rivalry that'd be a good fight.There's a lot of great HW's in pride it's a shame I can't say the same about the UFC.Yeah we got a few good HW and the division is improving ,but prides HW division is just so much more dominant than the UFC.

I'm not saying these guys would defeate Fedor.Fedor is a fucking beast.But they'd give him a good fight.and who knows one of them good maybe pull off an upset.Noones unbeatable

I picked Mark Hunt, just because that's a match-up I'd like to see. Like Boone said though, I think Fedor would sub him fairly easy. I'd also like to see a Fedor vs Fujita rematch.

Whoops, and Sylvia but cmon, I don't see Sylvia beating Fedor at all.

I forgot about Josh Barnett, but he's not on the poll. If he was, I'd say out of all those names plus Barnett, Barnett would have the best chance. He's well rounded enough that something could happen.

I didn't put Barnett on it because of his two losses to Crocop, but yeah he could give him a work out, especially after beating his bro.

well Nog has 2 losses to Fedor himself, and you put him on there. Barnett is definitely worthy, only 3 losses in his career. 1 of his losses to CroCop was about as legit as Shogun's loss to Coleman.

Nog's there because he's probably the best HW at the moment (other than Fedor).

If I wanted to I could have listed dozens of fighters who IMO could give Fedor a good fight. I don't think Barnett is better than any of the fighters in the poll.

Zentsov, Rodriguez, Monson, Rizzo, Arona, Wanderlei, none of then would probably win, but they could put up a good show.
