I missed this. I believe the comment was referring more to Nelsons ability to take punches and stay in the fight than his actual cardiovascular fitness.
What I believe mirza is saying is you're acting like he's the second coming when all we know for sure is the following
1. He can beat Brock Lesnar, who runs away from punches.
2. He can beat a version of Nog that is 2 Staph infections, a knee surgery and about 4 years past his prime.
3. He can beat Kongo, who has no ground game to speak of.
4. Steve Mazzagatti is a fucking bad referee and stopped the Rothwell fight when he was getting back to his feet. Cain was dominating though.
Nobody is debating that he's a good fighter and certainly in the top 3 guys out there today, but we're a bit more wary of crowning him BEST HEAVYWEIGHT EVAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!11 because he hasn't fought anyone without some kind of glaring hole in their game.
Well, in that case this is the first time I ever hear anyone call having a good chin and likes to brawl "good stamina", and probably the last time I ever will.
Regarding the second comment, no I don't believe he's the best. It just seems a bit immature to call Velasquez "not that great" after all he has done. Apparently not even beating Brock Lesnar, the "fucking monster of the Heavyweight division", the "Velasquez will never be able to deal with his size" guy, it's not enough to satisfy some people.
Call me a nuthugger or whatever you want, I have come to realize this isn't going to stop. Even if he gets through Dos Santos, people will probably be saying how "Overeem will destroy him". Or how other up and coming Heavyweights can beat him. This isn't going to stop. It's not worth me arguing with somebody over the internet on who's better than somebody else. I'll just let time go by and let Velasquez demonstrate why he is the champion in the biggest MMA organization in the world, and why he's there to stay.
Moving on, I'm really interested on how the 'possible' match-up with Edgar vs Henderson. This battle is sure to be interesting. I can see a lot of wrestling going on, but knowing how much of an exiting fighter Henderson is, I'd like to see how Edgar reacts. Those WEC motherfuckers are CRAZY.
