I agree with what you say, all of them would get smashed today as they were.
But bear in mind the question was if they were starting their careers today. Meaning that you would choose the guy you believe would have the best raw ability, along with today's quality of training and camps, to be able to compete.
I actually like Jim's pick over mine, but I simply didn't think of Mezger.

same deal....it isn't the training that makes today's athlete's better than yesteryear's MMA fighters....it's the fact that MMA is now filled with actual ATHLETES...

raw ability....translates into a simple fact that all of the true top athletes go into other sports like football because there is MUCH more money to be made...Oleg was only good compared to other people that weren't good enough to make it in the NFL...keep in mind that the best wrestlers are typically guys that were still not good enough for football in HS so they went a different route...even today, it is rare that a top athlete is in MMA, but it's getting better...as time goes on, assuming Dana doesn't over saturate the market and kill MMA's puberty-like growth spurt, more top athletes will try MMA.....

QUOTE(#10):
I know when I was in HS, football was in fall and wrestling was in winter. Usually the kids who got cut from basketball (also winter sport) went out for wrestling.
Our wrestling started at least a month before football ended...and it was always the guys that failed to make the football team....the sad part was that I wrestled at 103 in HS before gaining 6" and 77 lbs over the summer between HS and college and I could beat our varsity 173 lb guy....not by pin of course but by points...

I'd say Shamrock. Dude was pretty talented even by those days standards. No love for "the Wall"?

Shamrock was a BUM....he beat up people that were lesser fighters than KIMBO....then he faced a MUCH smaller opponent with actual training but no athleticism and got beat....If Shamrock fought Kimbo, I'd bet Kimbo would somehow win
