I like Overeem, but he gets overrated because of his GP win, when the stars seemed to align for him. Personally I think JDS knocks him out. I really, really rate Junior.
Overeem`s a inside fighter he gets often punched on his way to the inside ( just watch his K-1 fights) but when he`s on the inside he throws his big short hooks and knees and your in trouble. Watch his fight with Duffee who was was stupid enough to brawl on the inside with him and he got knocked out in 19 seconds. The problem with Werdum was that he let himself drop to the floor as soon as Alistair was on the inside
QFT. His stamina and speed are nothing like top boxers. He's way too bulky and seems to want to look like and action figure more than he wants to be a great fighter. Evidently, this works to impress people like the OP.
The Reem is at least 6'4, surely. Could David Beckham be Good at rugby just because he might be able to punt a penalty? No, he'd get destroyed. Different sports.
He has no defence other than putting his hands up. He would suffer badly in boxing. Reem is a decent size at 250ish pounds. Same as the Klits who are a little taller and a little heavier.
vitali would kill him This content is protected plus he isnt natural remember this This content is protected This content is protected
No, Overeem is the most successful kickboxer now fighting in MMA. Those aren't the same thing. JDS has clearly been more successful with his striking against better comp. I'd take JDS at this point. What I hope everyone can agree on is that if the winner of JDS/Overeem wins in a striking centered fight, that will settle the titel of "best heavyweight striker".
