Aw, c'mon, you guys must be kidding. How come all of a sudden size means everything? Doesn't everybody know some 120lb Asian master who would just wipe up the floor with Lesnar?
But, seriously folks, in a contest of size, strength, speed, skill and will, it's the person with the best combination of all those elements who will probably win. Lesnar is big, fast and strong, and he's skillful "enough" and wants to win "enough" that it will take someone with a better combination of those qualities to beat him. He's been beaten before. The hype about his size or Neanderthalness is good for business. Sooner or later, he'll face an opponent with "enough" of the qualities needed to beat him. Hey, he couldn't have beaten Andre the Giant in his prime ... or probably ever.
