So you're saying that they are more well rounded than Frank Edgar, Spencer Fisher, Hermes Franca, Mark Hominick, Roger Huerta, Joe Lauzon, Duane Ludwig, Jens Pulver, Tyson Griffin, Melvin Guillard, Sean Sherk, Joe Stevenson, Din Thomas...
Frankie Edgar - Well rounded but haven't seen enough of him to say he's more well rounded than one of the WWs
Spencer Fisher- I'll give you that
Hermes - I'll give you that, his standup ain't all that pretty but it works
Hominick - Is he even a LW anymore, plus his ground game isn't all that spectacular.
Roger Huerta - A little, not as much as others though
Lauzon - You've seen 45 seconds of him and you're already willing to say he is as or more well rounded than the top 5 WWs??
Duane Ludwig - Why do people keep putting Ludwig down when they list UFC LWs?? I think he's only fought once or twice, in the WW weight class, a long ass time ago, and he's not well rounded. He's a badass striker though.
Pulver - I'll give y ou that
Griffin - From what I've seen of him his standup doesn't look to be as good as his ground game
Melvin - Not that well rounded, he's mainly a striker, until he uses his ground game successfully there's no way you can call him a well rounded fighter
Sherk - Not that well rounded, but he does have decent striking for such a pure wrestler type fighter
Stevenson - Like Sherk but not as good striking wise
Thomas - I'll give you that
Anyway yea some of those guys are well rounded but still none of them come close talent wise to the top 5 WWs. Maybe the 5 LWs I said "I'll give you that" to can make up for Diego and GSP's well roundedness and skill. Even so, that's not the point you're trying to make, so tell me how any of those LWs you listed have a better chance at beating BJ at his natural weight than the top 5 WWs do at beating him at a pudgy weight? It makes no sense to me...
