I do think they're very close, and the more I think about it maybe I should move Wanderlei down a bit, but I don't think Liddell should be any higher on my list.

I understand that you can point to Chuck having better match-ups but I didn't hear all that when Couture whooped his ass. And I could also point to Wand having fought guys to his stylistic advantage he throws wild punches in exchanges catching dudes in the pocket.
He went 1-1 against Arona both were split decisions IRC and I personally don't think that Mark Hunt is all that great a HW or MMA fighter really. That being said you're entitled to your opionion and I, mine. Either way they are probably the two greatest Light Heavyweight Fighters of All-Time. Too bad we didn't get to seem them in The 03 GP.

You are right that my argument hinges on a what if, for the most part. But he did fight and lose to Page, who got destroyed by Shogun and Wand.
My timelines are off because it happened a long time ago but I don't think Chuck was ever number 1.

When making these rankings, fighters' primes are most important to me, but adapting and staying relevant removed from their primes is important too.

Oh and 9/5/11 is when Chuck was number 1. By this guy! So mark that on your timeline.

I'd say out striking Cro Cop, Wanderlei and Fedor solidifies you as one of MMA's best strikers. I didn't mean he's one of MMA's best fighters who is a striker. I just mean he's one of the best strikers. And when you outweigh a striker by about 50 pounds it isn't like they can take you down... which is what made that a competitive fight. Yeah he would be impotent (I think that's the right word) on the feet against a great wrestler like Velasquez, but fighting someone who can't take him down, he's one of MMA's best strikers.
And the Wanderlei that got knocked out was way out of his prime. When Wand was in his prime he ran through Rampage twice.
"What? You just won this argument with that comment. I really have no rebuttal whatsoever. Good day sir."
I'm confused, are you being facetious (sp?)? This isn't the best example but Daiju Takase beat Anderson Silva, and Anderson is the consensus number one, and Takase isn't top 100.
