That would be pretty entertaining. I gotta say if anyone has an answer for Brock's power, it might be Carwin. He would still have to see that would happen in Brock connects with one of his punches though. It might be lights out for Shane.
Shane just about knocked Gonzaga out with a jab. Brock would have to be equally concerned about Carwins power. Carwin is 265lbs and his hands are bigger than Brock's....this will be a great fight to watch.
All Brock would do is try to rabbit punch to death. (See the Mir 1 and Couture fight) I'm not really impressed with big guys like Brock, Sylvia, etc. They use their weight rather than any skill or technique. They’re decent fighters, but if they were 30-40 smaller, they would get handed by most other fighters. I think Carwin would have a Jackson's game plan and put Brock away.
To the guy that said "but if they were 30-40 smaller, they would get handed by most other fighters." Well, yeah, that's right. But he's not. Brock walks around at 280 and fighters have to deal with that, skill or not and it is impressive for a guy that big to have some skill.
I think there should be a Super Heavyweight class for 235 lbs and over. In any case Carwin/Lesnar is an intriguing fight.
It's retarded to say all Lesnar does is use his weight. He's a world class wrestler and if you've ever grappled with one, you'd understand the difference between weight and power with wrestling skill. Was Bob Sapp as good as Lesnar? What about Giant? Please... that argument is about as weak as they come. Lesnar would be 3-0 in the UFC right now if it wasn't for a bogus stand up by Mazzagatti.
Brock vs. Mir, the stand up wasn't a bogus stand up, Mir got hit in the back of the head alomost 8 times total in 2 flurries, and you can hear the ref telling him to watch the back of the head. Go ahead and watch the fight again with the sound up and listen.

If he said he didn't want to fight Brock Lesnar then that would be a story.
