Again, I am no Pulitzer Prize winning writer or journalist so I will get right to the point:
Many times we as MMA fans refer to guys that, for lack of a better word, suck, as cans (tomato cans to be specific). We also refer to fighters that take fight's against these types of fighters, for whatever reason (new to MMA, easy win, pad the record, etc.) as "can crushers". There are a few notable names that are constantly referred to in the threads on MMAmania as "can crushers".
So my question to all the Maniacs is the following:

My vote goes for Kimbo. Not. Even. Close.
Friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty. Only enemies speak the truth.
-Stephen King
He can't be a can crusher and a can at the same time
Makes no sense. He doesn’t even crush the cans, they crush him.
martial arts is about technique over size and strength. While strength and speed are great, technique will always overcome it.-FuckerDave 01/19/10
agreed with jay
Fedor was originally cast as the main character in 24, but was replaced by the producers when he managed to kill every terrorist and save the day in 12 minutes and 37 seconds
Dammit
I shoulda read the comments before I picked. Kimbo is a can crusher but agreed with Jay, he is a can
IrishKev - IF Kimbo beats people up, then they are most definitely CANS!!! You can still be a can and crush other cans!

-Stephen King
I suppose yeah actually
Or maybe I’m just agreeing with everyone so to keep everyone happy. Only messing, I’m just not thinking these things through. Time for me to call it a day cause my brains just not functioning right at this hour
But does make Kimbo,‘King of Cans’ if he’s beating them. Or maybe he’s the gatekeeper for cans, if you get by Kimbo, you can fight the gatekeeper of the division. And if you beat that gatekeeper, you can fight the legit fighters at HW
1st of All
Why is Mayhem on the list? He’s faught Jacare twice, GSP and has a submission win against Robbie Lawlor. Can crusher not so much.
Overeem HAS got to be called out here. Why there is even an argument about this. People give Fedor shit but good god people open your eyes.
Last 4 Opponents of Alistair:
1) Fujita
2) James Thomson ( Kimbo beat by TKO)
3) Tony Sylvester (exaclty)
4) Gary Goodridge
Last 4 Oppontents of Fedor:
1)Bret Rogers
2) Andrei Arlovski
3) Tim Sylvia
4)Hong Man Choi
End of discussion.

Sad thing is as bad as Thompson is he had Kimbo beat and got robbed by Miragliotta
That was very suspect officiating, not only did he give Kimbo forever to recover but he stopped the fight as soon as he landed a combination on Thompson, even though he wasn’t that badly hurt and Kimbo collapsed from exhaustion immediately afterwards.
I agree that Overreem is the ultimate can crusher though, his recent level of opposition has been pathetic.
"If I could change my name what would it be? Jesus"
Tito Ortiz (seriously...)
i nominate Gegard Mousasi
4 of his last five fights=
Mark Hunt: 5 fight losing streak
Sokoudjou: knocked out by a midget leglock specialist and has 6 losses in 13 fights
Gary Goodridge: 5 fight losing streak
Muhamed Lawal: greener than Irish grass, his fight with Mark Kerr was pretty disgusting can on bigger can action too.
Paniczoo reincarnated.
BZ - Agreed w/ Choi. Rogers is inexperienced but not a can. AA and Sylvia were legit top 10 - top 15 when they lost to Fedor. Disagree with you there.

wha?
I was simply saying Fedor has faught stiffer competition than Overroids
I think all those guys are/were tough… not the toughest but not Tony Sylvestor either.
I was Banned from BE before I could even make one post.
I'm flattered they know who I am but my first impression is that those
girls have weak knees. Mania #1

My bad. I thought you were calling out Fedor, too.

np
Even Choi is hard to deal with because of his monsterous size.
He is no gimme for anyone because of it.
It’s sad that Alistairs toughest fight was Fujita.

Hahaha! I knew you guys could not resist...

You're just dying for people to vote for King Mo
Just so you can bash him.
