Dominick Cruz is a better fighter (in terms of all-round ability and effectiveness) than both Frankie Edgar and Jose Aldo. True or False. Please vote, and explain your point-of-view :bbb:bbb:bbb
I think Edgar is better than both. Edgar is an undersized fighter in a considerably better weight division than either Aldo or Cruz. Edgar also beat BJ Penn, and there is no one like that at 135 or 145.
I think Aldo is being affected by the weight draining and needs to step up to '55 sooner rather than later. It is shame that Dana ruled out an Edgar - Aldo superfight* by saying that Edgar would have to vacate '55 if he wanted to fight for the '45 crown as I think that would have been a superb PPV headliner. He did not make either BJ Penn or GreasyP vacate their titles when they fought for a second time. *Both guys entering the Octagon as reigning champions.
Aldo > Cruz and Edgar. I think Cruz is a bit better than Edgar who I believe should have went 2-2 in his title fights.
I also have Edgar going 2-2 in his last four. In his defence, his wins have been a lot more comprehensive than the fights I scored against him, which were very close.
