He sure does!Frank Moe does have great boxing.
(I noticed that in the quote. That’s actually a pretty sweet name. I may have my friends call me that)

Is it because it’s not “prime” Fedor? Or is it because he’s in less of his prime than Mir? Or is this prime Mir?
Is it the 3 year youth advantage Mir has? Because “prime” Fedor lost to “old” Hendo by vicious KO
As much as I want Fedor to win, he nearly got ktfo by a fat Maldonado by all people. Watch Mir vs Duffee to see how he can deal with sloppy brawlers. And sadly, that's all Fedor seems to do at this stage of his career and he has lost the speed to overcome his opponents technical advantage.
I see what you're trying to say but I wouldnt compare Fedor's entry speed and approach to punching to Todd Duffee's in the Mir fight.
Neither, but Duffee punches a lot harder than what Fedor does. Duffee flatlines people, Fedor can too but I don't see him nearly as much as dangerous as Duffee at short range and Fedor leaves himself open when closing in from a distance, he likes to lunge in with an overhand right, he doesn't set his big shots up very often, he usually closes it via speed and he is not as fast and agile as he was 10 years ago.
If Mir can land a counter, Fedor isn't eating it. He's going down and going down hard.
Dufee doesnt punch harder than Fedor, not even close. Tell me when you saw Duffe floor someone with his weak hand... Ill wait...
Fedors understanding of foot work, kinetic linking and over all punching tecnhique is on a MUCH higher level than Duffee who wings power shots like a bum.
Now that is absolute garbage. I don't care if he's fighting bums or not....the guy punches like a freight train. Out of 9 wins, all 9 come by way of knock out, 8 of those in the first round and has one of the fastest KO's ever recorded in UFC history. Fedor only developed one punch KO power later in his career, the only two people he really face planted were AA & Rogers and that is over 40 fights. He has good power but he typically tko's power by overwhelming volume and speed.
And when did Fedor ever flatline anyone with a weak hand ? He throws massive overhand right bombs any chance he gets...he leans his entire body into it.
I love Fedor and think he is truly one of the all time greats, but you are truly delusional.
Fedor also had shit wrestling and no jiu jitsu to speak of.Fedor's just a brawler these days, age, stopped by mitrione, training with leg injury. Mir being able to tear a limb off even while hurt... any number of reasons why this could be bad for fedor. In their primes I think fedor fucks frank up since he always had shitty wrestling and his jiu jitsu is crap other than locking on a sub. but those days are long gone
You can tell who punches harder by how a punch looks?The punch Fedor KOd Rogers with is way harder and faster than anything I've ever seen Duffee come close to throwing.
Same with the punch Fedor threw at Mirko when Mirko was pressuring him, luckily for Mirko it missed.
Not to mention Fedor flooring a 400lb Zulu with one punch and with his left hand.
Fedor for a 225lb man was generating way more speed and power per square inch than a 260lb Todd Duffee and it was possible because Fedor's technique was so much better. Unless you're blind you can see he was hitting way harder and faster than Duffee. So again, I dont see how you can predict how it will go in a Fedor vs Mir striking exchange based what you saw in the Mir vs Duffee KO. Duffee obviously has power but hes a plodding brawler, Fedor is bouncy on his toes and wings casting punches. Totally different styles.

How is that?Uh, yeah
