Where do Hendo & Lindland fit into the 205lb. top Ten?

Lets just imagine for a second that Lindland and Hendo devoted all of there time to the 205lb weight class, I think both of them have a great argument to be in the top 10.

I mean Hendo is the Pride MW(205) Champ.!!! And Lindland has preformed well at 205 with an impressive performance against Rampage, and a good win against Mike Van Arsdale.

So where does, if at all, Dan Henderson and Matt Lindland rank at 205lb. weight class?

EDIT: I mean "Where DO Hendo& Lindland fit into the 205lb. top Ten? (Mod Please Fix)

hendo is top 5, lindland.... is unproven and it's too much speculation

Lindland is unproven?

I think Lindland will have alot better case after the Fedor fight, I'm not predicting that he will win, but I am predicting that he will be Impressive.

lindland has only one win at 205. yeah he managed to make Rampage work for a win. he better, with a number 1 spot at MW.
but his only win is over MVA at lhw. i dont think MVA has like a spot in the top 25

hendo at 5 or 6

lindland at 10 or off the list

i just leave MW's off the list when i do it, it just complicates it and its hard to be certain

Maybe his quick put away of Horn at 185 helps Linland's case, after all Horn did last longer with Chuck than he did with Lindland, and Horn lasted longer with Chuck than anyone has in a long time.

I would put Hendo at around 9 or 10. Lindland would be on the outside looking in.

Maybe it's just me, but from the fights I've seen of him, Matt Lindland really hasn't impressed me all that much and doesn't deserve to be the number 1 ranked MW in the world. Let alone in the top 10 LHW.

sorry but lindland isnt in the top 10 lhw the guy hasnt showed much at 205 he lost to rampage, and only has what one other lhw fight and he 1 so hes what 1-1 and lhw, and dont use that matt beat horn and horn beat chuck and horn lasted with chuck a long time and matt finished him and shit, that dont work. Hendo i would say is 6 or 7 on the lhw hes under chuck, shogun, well shit just those to for sure lol, but hes the pride 205 champ so he kinda has to be on that list, plus the guy i believe is a nat 185 fighter who moves up and fights the best at 205 and has had some really good fights there, hendo belongs in that lhw ranking he is champ, lindland isnt on it, i wouldnt put him in the top 12-15 more then likely would make the top 15
