Ric Flair On Where Brock Lesnar Ranks Among The Best Athletes Ever

Ric Flair has seen a lot of big men come through the pro wrestling business. He’s watched Brock Lesnar conquer one obstacle after another, all the while bringing in amazing paydays. It’s hard to match the Beast Incarnate and Flair puts him among the greatest.

While speaking to ESPN’s Ariel Helwani, Ric Flair praised Brock Lesnar’s incredible ability. He said that Lesnar is probably the best athlete that he’s ever seen. It’s hard to measure a WWE Superstar against other pro athletes, but Lesnar is among the top.

“To see Brock go back & forth, and just be this phenomenal athlete. He may be the best athlete I’ve ever seen, if you look at it from our perspective. I’m not saying he’s better than Deion Sanders or better than Bo Jackson, but the way we measure things, you and I, there is no denying that Brock Lesnar is one of the best athletes of all-time. He almost made the Minnesota Vikings. I mean, come on.”

Brock Lesnar is currently not under contract. He could come back, but they are obviously taking their time. The last we saw Lesnar, he was rocking a big mountain man beard. He is also capable of doing great things in the ring, but he doesn’t show up for free. Hopefully, we will see him wrestle again.

When would you bring Brock Lesnar back to WWE? Sound off in the comments!
