This thread should be entitle "ode to Thick"
#1- Tyson
#3- Brittany Spaniels or English Setters. Depends on if you like a close hunter or a rangey hunter. I like the setters a little better, but they do run off all the fucking time, but they seem to hold their points better than the Brittanies. Plus, they're a little bigger, which is always nice.
As you can see, I prefer my dogs to have a use besides being cute a fluffy, but, if you're just looking for a cute dog to fuck around with, then I really like St. Bernards.
#2- I like these responses so far. Yeah, me!

Not the best ever....yet...though
This is really a tough call. I'm torn between Frank Shamrock and Bas Rutten, though one could make a very, very good case for Matt Hughes. I know for a fact that it ain't Severn or Tank, though.
As I think about it more, I've come to the conclusion that it has to be one of the current crop of fighters. The sport keeps evolving and everyone keeps getting better and better. A guy from 5 years ago would be lost right now. Hmmmmmm....maybe Wanderlei Silva would fit the bill.
Too tough to call
