Prime Cro cop would beat any hw in mma not name fedor
There's your answer, the perfect HW was Fedor.

He sure is one of the greatest HWs ever. I don't see any of the current guys beating him in his best years, but that is always hard to say.
However, I think someone like Fedor was the perfec HW.
We rarely see world class grapplers that also develops great, unpreditible striking, and has the speed of someone from a lighter division. When also several opponents claim he was the hardest hitter in MMA, you have a pretty good candidate.
...Something like Khabib and Conors love child would look like.
Prime crocop loses to Cain, jds and overeem.
And Gonzaga
I always thought he could have prolonged his career if he'd been willing to use his ground game more and more instead of reverting to stand up damn near all the time. It may have been dull but if he'd gone the Cheick Kongo route and laid on a few people he may have suffered fewer defeats and a lot less damage.If not for the injuries and willing to fight injured at his determent, he's the prefect HW on paper. Especially later in his career when he developed a ground game. Shame it came later in his career.
He has excellent elbows.Finished Perosh with elbow,destroyed Gongaza with those,smashed Schaub's nose with elbow and i think he also made good damage to Ishii with elbows as well.I always thought he could have prolonged his career if he'd been willing to use his ground game more and more instead of reverting to stand up damn near all the time.

Cro Cop actually never lost by being outwrestled
He beat Coleman and Waterman and Aliakbari. Some giant roided up wrestlers. Much higher level wrestlers than Cain and much bigger.
How was cro cop chin not good?*Perfect physique for hw - No, see Francis
*extremely fast for hw - Agreed
*good boxing with ko power in both hand - Agreed
*great striking defense * footwork - Good but not great, can't be great when he got caught by so many fighters
*got some of the kicks in mma history + hardest kicker - Agreed, obviously
*best Tdd in mma history,literally no one can take him down. - "best" is reaching, but its good yes
*and good chin - No, Just no
Prime Cro cop would beat any hw in mma not name fedor - No way
