Cain Velasquez is not on Andrei Arlovski’s level

[Drock]

… I don’t put Cain at Andrei’s level. With Andrei, I tried to say it wasn’t that big a fight and there wasn’t pressure, but my body knew how big it was. It was kind of like when GSP fought Matt Hughes and he gave him too much respect. That’s what happened with me and Andrei. I gave him too much respect. But I don’t put Cain on his level at all.

Well Ben, I would agree, not on the same level at all. I think Cain is above AA and is show great upside. AA is going to have to re-invent himself. I hope Ben doesn't think this is a easier fight.

I don't think Cain's boxing ability is quite as developed as AA's but at least we know Cain can take a punch and keep fighting. AA goes to sleep when someone waves a jab in front of his face.

yeah, Arlovski's good at the punching part of boxing, just not the getting hit part. :o If MMA were like Baseball, he would make a great DH
