    They have a common opponent...heath herring. watch what lesnar did to heath in 2008 then watch what crocop did back in 2003 ...

    Personally , i'd say prime crocop would ko Lesnar. But anything could happen of course. I consider Josh Barnett to be way superior to Lesnar and mirko defeated him twice. Then again , styles make fights.

    Cro-Cop UD Lesnar.

    Cro-Cop Uses flurries and movement to outpoint Lesnar but does not go for the knockout at the risk of Lesnar overpowering him, Both fighters hurt at some point.

    This is all good but we dont even know if Lesnar has entered his prime yet...

    Geez guys why are we even debating this? CC vs Lesnar isnt far off CC vs a prime Bob Sapp, and we all know what happened there. CC's right leg would send him to hospital in under a round. Seriously this has to be the only sport that see's a guy with a 4-1 record established against the easier opponents in his division vs a stud who's a lock for the HOF and a bonafide ATG.

    Lesnar is an absolute style nightmare for CroCop. Thats all I'm saying for fear of flame death.

    CroCop destroys Lesnar, we don't even know how good Lesnars chin is yet. For all we know CroCop could kick his head into next week! Or straight eat it and not even flinch hahahahaha yea ok odds are its nighty night time for Lesnar.

    Why is this even a thread anyway? I agree with other poster 4-1 Brock has a long way to go yet.

    COuldn' be bothered :lol:

    Really, Lesnar is the last fighter I would ever put any version of CroCop in with. He's an undersized heavyweight, probably under 220 at his very physical best. A pure striker who's relying on his sprawl against a decorated wrestler who's 60lbs heavier than him doesn't sound like a good matchup to me. CroCop could not stop from being taken down. Even if he could use some sort of sprawl from Broxks outisde shot, Brock is big and powerful enough to back him up and CC simply can't fight backing up. CC looked bad against powerful fighters who backed him up standing who weren't strikers - Gonzaga bullied him and didn't let him fight, even RAndleman, who's a small, inferior version of Lesnar. Its true we don't know if Brock has a good chin, but looking at his neck I kind of suspect he does. Even if he doesn't, his shot is borderline unstoppable and he doesn't have to stand if he doesn't want to. You have to ask if CC can stop Brocks shot - I can't see it, can you?

    I think Lesnar would time Cro Cop, take him down and then hell would rain down on him. However Lesnar is still an unknown quantity. I think his chin is okay but Cro Cop had awesome power. It's hard to say but stylistically, I think Lesnar is bad for CC.

    Ok i disagree with many of the reasons you've listed...but , instead of counter-arguing what you said... I'd like to ask you a question.

    Do you see anyone beating Lesnar ? and if so , who ?
