    Absolutely! But in fairness, it certainly takes "something" from the value of Cro Cops win...which in essence...is what we are evaluating.

    I think he means MMA though. I say Liddell is greater there.

    i dont think so wanderlei was arguably in the top 3 best pride strikers in the world at that time therefore i do not think it takes anything away from mirco cro cop.

    Well, of course it does! Anytime an individual fights an opponent from a lower weight division, surely, that diminishes the win...at least marginally...regardless of the skill level of the opponent. :huh

    nah i dont believe it does if you got prime takanori gomi to fight a welterweight im pretty certain that gomi would win same with fedor. Fedor is essentially a lightheavyweight and fights at heavyweight, and rocky marciano who was a lightheavyweight and fought at heavyweight and had no losses.

    Vitor Belfort
    Jeff Monson
    Kevin Randelman
    Pele

    Heath Herring

    Cro-cops best win is better than Liddell's best win(and he did it 3 x) but overall I give it to Liddell.

    Your logic is completely flawed. The reason weight classes exist is because weight puts someone at a competitive advantage/disadvantage. :patsch

    I really have nothing more to say...cause what your saying is shite.

    but wanderlei was a middleweight in pride which the equivalent to a lhw therefore the fight was pretty equal as mirco cro cop was a lhw.

    Cro Cop without a doubt. Chuck cuts down from about what Mirko fights at, so there wouldn't really be much of a size difference, if they had ever fought it would not have ended well for Chuck.

    Chuck Liddell he was better in the big fights, grabbed a Championship and held onto it for a very long time while blasting great competition.

    Although I was never a fan, I have to go with Chuck.

    Even a shot Liddell in his last 5 or so fights was doing well, if he's punch resistence hadn't gone to the dogs then the Franklin, Evans and Shogun losses could've been victories.

    CC last 5 fights (against b and c lvl) he looked adsolutely awful.

    Prime v Prime is very close maybe CC slightly
