    He is easily a better fighter than big tim but was just to small to beat him at lhw he would be a good fighter and wouldn't be undersized.

    With all the beasts in the lhw division Vera would just be tall lunch meat.

    I think he would be top 3 at least.

    I wanna see what happens if he stays where he is at, I want to see how much the broken hand he suffered effected the fight. Sylvia could do **** all to him.

    Sylvia put it to him pretty good in the last round, didn't KO him but I don't think Vera was real happy with how it was going.

    I have no reason to believe Vera would be any better in the LHW division, it has a wider pool to draw talent from, plus Vera has done pretty well in HW, one loss to a top contender and former champ is not the end of the world, why give up a good thing for an unknown thing?

    It might be becuase he is undersized at heavyweight and has said many times he wnats to be a two weight champion, so why not move to lhw where his skills would be more usefull.

    Yeah I definitely agree LHW has way more talent. That has been the division to watch in the last few years, what with fighters from past and present, like, Couture, Liddell, Tito... hate him so much, Shamrock, Shogun, Griffin, and Jardine, etc. Its going to continue to be good as well. HW needs a wake up call, I hope everyone doesn't expect Lesner to solve all the problems, he will be a start though, we still don't know how he will do yet. Apparrently he has fought already does anyone know where I can find the fight, I heard it was a beating of a life time for his opponent.

    i think vera should stay at hw. and wish that he does not have to someone else would take tim out of the equation. wim was just too big for vera. but man, if only tim had his other knee up when vera gave him a knee, it should have been over. tim was visibly shaken after that
