He's a great fighter though, don't get me wrong, he just needs to get his endurance back.

Doesnt matter how long the Pulver fight lasted. He was fighting at his correct weight for the first time in a long time. He gave two MUCH bigger fighters who will go down as two of the best all time at their wieght a great fight despite being WAY out of shape and overwieght. He was beating Hughes and would have won had he not gassed. Lets see hughes gain a bunch of weight to fight Randy Couture and see what happens.

When in shape, like he is right now, BJ Penn is the best and most skilled fighter in the world.


and for you FEDOR nut riders. Keep in mind that I think hes a great fighter, but he has ALMOST lost to many average fighters and hasnt had a fight with a quality heavy weight since I was using Dial Up Interenet Service.
