Anyone else like OSP and hate that he hasnt lived up to his potential?

[Blitz]

The guy has the physical tools to be a perennial top 5 guy but just never succeeded for some reason

 

[theTKDguy]

He is big and strong but that's it really. Creative but very little technical ability.

 

[Agmkreptile]

OSP is one of those guys who seems to only rely on his athleticism and wrestling. His striking is so awful. Its like he hasn't trained standup at all.

 

[Mr. Danger Waffles]

He should of called out Jon Jones.

 

[RainyMonday]

What physical tools does he have other than length? He's slow and clumsy

OSP is too nice a guy to be a fighter. Yes guys like DC, Fedor, GSP seem nice outwardly but they are killers at heart. OSP is genuine a nice guy. Just my opinion I could be wrong.. i guess you could call it mental. He has physical.

 

[TourIsOverBoyo]

Meh.

He was decent after coming in from Strikeforce but I never saw much potential in him

 

[jjresq]

His camped failed him. The should have brought in better boxing/ striking coaches to train him.

 

[Venom]

His technique is horribly lacking...

Because of that he isn't confident enough to apply pressure.

 

[Deleted member 196663]

He's a football player. You're just looking at his body and making assumptions about skills that he never had much time developing.

 

[JonnyboyATL]

no one "likes" osp you fucking idiot, there is absolutely nothing to like about that no-talent piece of shit

Well that escalated quickly.

GSP is not a killer at heart. lol

 

[The Natural Born Runner]

I'm one of those people.

Says more about the state of Shogun these days. OSP's striking is pretty bad

 

[M Raid K]

Yes. That's why I picked against him tonight, just couldn't trust anymore.

 

[Metallicalabran]

americans are obsessed about "athleticism", that meaning somehow if you are very big and not fat and slow, you should succeed in every sport

thats a very wrong idea

there is some others aspects like skill and talent

like rumble kinda

Exactly like Rumble and a few other like Hall.
