    Man, I was just thinking about this last night and wondered why no one has ever posted it here. (Maybe I missed it)

    Sizewise they were about the same since Cop wasnt a particularly big HW. I think he comes in fight time at 220lbs.

    Lets talk about Crocop circa 2005 vs. todays Spider. Who wins and why?

    I would like to think so, Prime Mirko was just a scary proposition for everyone esp. with the takedown defense.

    I don't think Silva posses the striking skills to hang with the level of striker Cro Cop was back in the day.

    Well its kickboxer vs, Muay thai. I find Silva incredibly versatile and powerful so lets not underrate him now. He also has the advantages of a clinch.

    Prime Cro Cop was a Mutant, much more bigger and stronger than Spider. He KOS him brutally!!!

    Anderson takes this imo. It would be like Ali v Liston

    Doesn't seem really fair to say he got old, though. Beats Minowa, Yoshida, Silva, Barnett and Sanchez all in one round in a variety of different ways then loses to Gonzaga, Kongo and we all know the rest. Yeah, the ring/cage thing may hold true.

    It's just sad at how high a level this guy is regarded only to be nothing more than a gatekeeper in his current run.

    Crocop was a beast in his prime. I'm glad he finally showed it when he won the grand prix in 2006. Crocop by KO via headkick.
