It's tough to say he is the best when he lost to Jake Shields in his first fight. It is also really hard to judge guys in different weight classes. I think he could become the LHW champion in strikeforce soon. I think he can beat Mousassi, King Mo, or Feijao on any given night. I can also see him losing to Mousassi or Feijao as well.

I am not saying Mousasi couldnt beat Henderson. What I was trying to say is I think he can show up like he did against Bisping and Sobral and beat anybody in the LHW divison, then come out like he did against Shields and lose to a lot of people as well. I just want to see him start fighting these guys so we can know for sure.

Overeem has a good argument. id say he beats out shields and gagard.

you have to give some credit to Dan Henderson, people are starting to go a little low now ranking him outside the top 10 to ever enter SF.

Sure it depends how you look at it, if your just going to rank him on his achievements in SF then ok he wont cut the top 10 because he came along way to late in his career, but if your going to look at his entire MMA career and compare it to the entire MMA careers of others inside the company then you have to give him top 5.

And thats exactly what people who are saying Fedor No.1 are doing, but rightfully so Fedor is No.1 on this argument but that's only basing opinion on him achievements outside SF because at present he has only achieved the same in SF as Hendo.

Ok the thread maybe stupid, created by a stupid member but lets not take away credit to one of MMA's legends because of this.

I'd actually vote Frank Shamrock. He may not have put on his best performances by the time he was fighting in SF but if you're going to compare careers I would say Frank Shamrock. Though Dan is a close second.
