Cain was the best heavyweight in the world when those sparring sessions were happening and Islam was still coming up. A smaller guy landing stuff Cain says nobody else could land says plenty.

People talked about Islam like he was just Khabib 2.0 for years, but hes always had more striking than he gets credit for. Cain obviously saw it way before most of us did.
