Great list. The heavyweight division invites cans because the only real qualification is a great physique or tremendous girth.

Sad to see Shamrock on the list but as the caption says, he hasn't been a factor in MMA for a decade...

Is it fair to say tomato cans are the gate keepers to the big show? Or are they the guys that are hand choosen to make a crappy fighter appear better then he is?

Seems unfair to Kimmo and Ken...I mean they kinda turned into tomato cans because they didn't know when to say their retirement speech.

One of the few times we agree, thats why I posted it starting on his pic, how can Kimo be listed and not Kimbo?

I'm the Capo mess with me and I'll tell you where to go!

Kimbo's not a can...yet...

As SBRadial points out, being a can is more than just being a mediocre fighter, it's also about the way you are used by promoters. You are brought in specifically to make someone else look good.

Shamrock has been making Tito Ortiz look good for a while. Now, he'll make Kimbo look good.

Until Kimbo loses a few in a row, he's still a "star" in EliteXC's eyes...
