    Depends on division, talent and natural/core style.

    depends on division. you'd have a hard time arguing that GSP doesn't have a perfect fight frame. wiry, powerful, fast and explosive.

    id go with someone around 6ft3-6ft5 because it gives good reach and your not too tall so that you cant grapple
    and weight wod have to be aroudn 250-260. and the body type would have to be mainly muscle like 8% BF. anyone agree?

    obviouly he would alo have to have good cardio aswell

    Towards the end of his run in K-1 Mirko looked fantastic, about 6'-2" and 230 pounds.

    Couture is about the same size as Cro Cop, too. I think that's the perfect size. Enough muscle and leverage to knock out everyone in the world...but not freakishly tall or freakishly heavy...both of which have their disadvantges. Plus, at that height you have good range on your punches, but your arms aren't so long as to be unwieldy. And at that weight you can also have plenty of stamina, but you're not so small that you easily get tossed around.

    Height-prob about 5'2 perfect size for leverage
    weight-around 450 too big to get thrown around
    Body type- round like a basket ball if they cant get their arms around you they cant throw you

    Doesn't matter. It's all about your fighting spirit. I don't care whats height or weight is as long as you're athletic and have the right spirit you're good. I.E Fedor.

    I like Mark Hunt.. Built like a tank, can strike well, take a shot, extremely mobile with great endurance. Basically, Samoans and Maori are built for it, naturally strong and very solid chins.

    If you could have taken Mark Hunt at the age of 14 or so, cross trained him in something like Judo and Muay Thai, he would be one of the toughest people to beat.

    Crocop has sick firepower, but how much of that is from training? Thing about an ideal, large framed Islander who would train just as much.. Would have a naturally solid chin. Extremely fast and mobile for the size.

    Why people keep calling Hunt Samoan? I thought he was New Zealender.
