Of those mentioned, Phil is the biggest (6'6") and supposedly has a black belt. Marcel Luske also has a black belt but is only about 6'1" or 6'2". Antonio Esfandiari is smaller than either but has studied Brazilian jiu-jitsu with the Gracies.

Story is Sam Grizzle kicked Phils ass one day, so I think that rules Phil out. Lenox Lewis played in the main event this year, I'll take him.

I've heard that story too, in a half dozen variations. From almost knocking Phil out to a single body punch. I haven't seen anything from credible sources about when it was, whether Phil had his black belt yet, or any other details. But having sparred with black belts that are a lot smaller than Phil, I can tell you that's a confrontation I'd rather avoid.

As for Lennox Lewis, he's not a pro.

I pick Raymer since he's gansta enough to risk getting shot over a couple thousand dollars.

Also, because he straight up masticated thread cat HU.

An Tran was some sort of special forces dude?

Eli Elezra was Israeli commando?

I'm remembering from tv coverage so it may be total pants.

Raymer versus Lederer. I'd pay to see that on PPV.
