and i stand by it.You're calling him to "easily" KO a prime Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira in the first round. That's a feat that would definitely put him in the upper echelon of greatness..... seeing as how a lot of great fighters could not do it.
It's also ridiculous.
in fact, i just rewatched cro cop v big nog in 03 at someone else's suggestion. cro cop was piecing him up badly and while the body kicks were beautiful, Mirko's boxing is not as good as stipe's and its not really that close either. there is almost no chance whatsoever that version of big nog lasts 10 minutes with stipe. id put good money on that.
Dont forget stipe has a couple inches in height and massive reach advantage on both those guys, plus a LOT more power in his hands.
