Apparently this is a legendary fight. But what do you rate it at?

You have to understand everything that was going on before the fight took place (the rankings at the time, p4p, legacy, etc), the pre-fight anticipation was legendary, It was a dream fight for what it represented at the time. Maybe not the best example, but Randy Couture vs. Tim Sylvia was a very boring fight, yet if you watched it at the time and knew what was on the line and Randy's 'George Foreman' moment then it was great.
If you didn't watch it live on PPV, I'm sorry.
It wasn't live in the States though. Tape delay.If you didn't watch it live on PPV, I'm sorry.
It is a hard thing to take a fighter's will. Mirko Cro Cop, who had never won the K-1 title he had spent his life working towards, and who had fallen just short in his first go at PRIDE gold, was not going to give up. What Emelianenko did was take Cro Cop's body to a point where it wouldn't allow him to do the things he so desperately desired.
