I think Brock is bigger now than he has ever been, he isn't as shredded but I think he's thicker.

For me it has to 2014 Brock. I really like his character at the moment, despite the criticism on his promo skills his taped segments have been great, Heyman has been great, his 'style' and booking is unique and we rarely see him which I think is a positive. Less is more.

Dude....the only argument Lesnar can have against him now (except for him being a part-timer and his promo skills) is that he isn't as powerful and destructive as he was when he was 25 in 2002. He's 37 now. Is there anyone that even peaked at that age?



He's 37. I doubt he's as powerful as he used to be, no matter the MMA fighting. His UFC skill peaked when he debuted in it when he was younger, now after diverticulitis I don't really think he's as strong and powerful as he used to be.

Hard to pick. Both have their good points. Lesnar 2002 was full time and having great matches with Angle, Eddie, Taker etc. Lesnar 2014 has the aura, whenever he shows up it feels special and it feels like somethings about to go down, his current booking is heaps cool aswell. I probably prefer current just because of the badass, cannot be stopped factor.

Lesnar back then was sometimes owned by smaller guys like Eddie, Benoit, Jeff, Mysterio, Haas and Benjamin.
Look what 2014 Lesnar did to heavyweights like Cena, Taker and Triple H, in 2002 he would legit kill the smaller guys mentioned above

Watch the Cena vs Lesnar match at Backlash 2003. Lesnar was booked as the top babyface while Cena was portrayed as a cowardly heel and yet Cena looked stronger than in their 2012 and 2014 matches when he was booked as superman

Brock Lesnar 2012-2014 without any doubt

I don't get it. That sounds like a pro 2014 Brock arguement but you conclude with 2002 Brock.

Lesnar was definitely stronger, faster, and more athletic back in his first run, but Lesnar now is a lot wiser I would say. A wise man, is a dangerous man. The Lesnar now is way more dangerous. He has learned a lot more about the fighting game.

Current Lesnar seems bigger somehow despite dropping some weight. Anyways, current Lesnar. Back then he was faster and more athletic but current Brock is an absolute monster.

wtf how would 2002 lesnar beat current lesnar???? irl, he only knew wrestler while current lesnar has that plus mma training. kayfaybe wise, 02 lesnar got pinned by people like big show and tapped out to benoit. Can you imagine this lesnar losing to anyone like that now?

Current lesnar>>2002 lesnar. he would tear his young self apart but then cease to exist.
