Hey everyone who was the better striker prime for prime ? crocop or Anderson ?

Sucking Feds balls again? :roll: , oh yeah i get it, everyone peaks at the same time!!, atsch , when people keep going on about Cops and Feds fights that happened 5 years ago what the hell do you expect?, look at Feds last 3 or 4 opponants, are they the same quality as they were back in the day?, erm NO.

 

Cro Cop has better kicks but he has nothing on Andersons clinch,elbows,knees,punches,speed,footwork,combos or the chin.

 

This guy is the reason I hate sherdog. No reason, just bunch of emotions spurring out like a little child. Wouldn't be surprised if he's 14 or so.

 

I go on the sherdog forum like one time a week..like 15 minutes because my head is gonna explose with all the idocy there..

 

Run out of counter arguments to put forth so your reduced to talking about some wack ass forum i don't even have the first clue about?, brilliant. :good

 

This is really a loaded question. Who is the better striker in what way? Silva is the more dynamic striker. Crocop is the more powerful striker with devastating one kick KO power.

 

I don't even know about that. Crocop with his southpaw style was quite dynamic with the way he had shown setup kicks and left crosses in his arsenal. You guard the head, he could throw a kick to the liver to set up the head kick, or just use the liver kick as a stand alone destroyer. This is where being a southpaw alone increases whatever you might call dynamicism. Just as Silva may be considered dynamic with his knees, but something as simple as taking away his height advantage away can nullify his knees, as we saw happen with some of Wanderlei's fights.

 

Exhibit A. 2:55 in.

In MMA, you cant pull off half of what Silva gets away with unless people respect your ground game. Do we need to go through Crocop highlights to show off his abilities? His loss to Nog was one of the most painful fights I have ever watched, Heath Herring is another.

Crocop relied almost purely on stuffing takedowns and creating offense off of his offense. Its a lot harder to to into an MMA fight and have success with little more than kickboxing ability, than it is to go into MMA as a well rounded fighter.

You wouldn't expect a dynamic puncher like Tommy Hearns to do extremely well in MMA with his skillset, but folks would likely call Chuck Liddel the better puncher of the two, since his style allows him to get away with more.

 

He does not. He is a dick sucking moron.

 

Anderson is the better MMA striker. Cro Cop was probably more successful in K-1 than Anderson would've been though.

 

Its semantic really. Peoples memeorys are very shallow and they only tend to remember what is current. When Silva was in CR and fighting for PRIDE he was known for his vicious knees and his striking. Carlos Newton anyone? But by the same token he was a relaltive unknown and CC was far more popular because of his highlight reel KO`s and his rep from the K1. Plus being a heavyweight his striking was that much more devastating. Remember his KO of Igor anyone? Essentially though there diffrent types of strikers so its a fairly moot point.

Prime for prime though id have to say CC as that was his bread and butter.

 

I disagree.. I think if Crocop were as good on the ground as Anderson, he would have 1/4 of the losses on his record, possibly even fewer.

The only reason Anderson is a better MMA striker is because he has good ground game and isn't super cautious about being taken to the ground. When Crocop fights other strikers without much worry about being taken down, he has been absolutely dominant and brutal.

 

The reason I say that Silva is more dynamic is because he seems to use more striking tools than Crocop. I've never seen Crocop throw so much as one elbow and rarely see him throw knees.

That said - I don't want to say either one was a better striker than the other because they both had great success fighting in their own inimitable style.

 

Silva is #1 p4p striker in mma, possibly in history. It's hard to find his MT record online, but it seems like he has only lost maybe three MT fights ever, with 2 being to Pele.

Silva is absolutely terrifying standing, I think moreso than Crocop.

Sure, as you all say, he is also very well rounded, but let's not pretend he has good striking that he uses to take the fight to the ground or something. Anderson wants the fight on his feet, and that's where he usually keeps it.
