Noone gives a shit about you either.

Bullets dodge Fedor.

Actually, i care a whole lot!

Just because Josh has been caught cheating and ruined the Fedor fight for us, it doesnt change the fact that he would still be a top 3 HW in any organization in the world!

IMO, he would be favorite against everyone’s favorite fighters TODAY like:
Alistar
brock
Carwin
Nog
JDS
Cain
Kongo
Arlovski
Grim

Im not saying he would run the table and beat all of those guys….but in my eyes, he would be a favorite going into a fight against most of them. He has a rare combo of size/power combined with highly skilled, and very technical fight game. He is an under rated athlete for his size…and very few HW on this planet can match his skills!

As long as he isnt failing drug tests, Barnett is a HUGE asset for any organization!

I would really like to see him compete under the UFC or strikeforce banner!

I don't see him being a favorite against

Allistair
Brock
Carwin
JDS
Cain

but would agree against:

Nog
Kongo
AA
Grimm

And thats the thing JG- huge asset IF. That is a big IF and it turns into a real liability, really fast. Just ask Affliction.

I love you like a play cousin but you are out of your mind here. He’s not a favorite against any of those dudes…maybe Kongo (I can see him grinding out a decision here but I maybe delusional) and AA (on the down slide anyway).

Anyway, his liability far out weighs anything he can contribute. He’s old, not competitive with most top guys and not even a proper gate keeper, not known to casual fans…I don’t see what you’re saying at all.
