2005 meeting with CroCop was Fedors most masterful performance.
it wasn't too long after this fight, I noticed a decline in fedor's performance...he did what aldo did in his later fights...aldo gave up leg kicking...or cut back 80%. fedor gave up on his wrestling and submissions...I can't remember the last time fedor took a guy down or submitted anyone...it's been years. he doesn't even try anymore...his standup was always good, cause of his threat of a takedown...if he only stood with cro cop and never attempted any takedowns and didn't use grappling, he probably would have lost badly.
I think he was passing his prime here, but was still good. This, or the Arlovski fight would have been an epic time to walk away.
I consider Fedor HW GOAT and my fav HW
The Fedor in the Sylvia fight was already in visible decline imho
Fight went awesome because decline was'nt still bad as later and because Sylvia sucked
Leaner Tim of the past was'nt badWhy does everybody disrespect Timmeh
Sam Caplan still owes me a t-shirt for that eventToo bad the Barnett fight never took place. It would have been epic.
