Couture>Cro Cop

[Sid Arthur]

So many people putting Cro Cop on their top 5 HWs and leaving off Couture.

How??

It could be that his style was less aesthetically pleasing than randys

Oops - than mirkos

 

[Thepaintbucket]

I don't think neither should be in the top 5 at this point.

 

[Tormund]

Mirkro cro crop

I sure it was, but how can that count for so much?

We're talking greats, not fun to watch.

They like him better.

I don't think they mean current top fives, but top fives of all time..

This is a problem. People need to be able to see past style preference when discussing quality.

Otherwise that guy who nanced around looking over his shoulder would be the GOAT.

 

[L0ki]

Not sure.

Definitely would have been cool to see, though.

Dunno. I kind of agree with you actually. I think in terms of accomplishments Couture has slightly more to his name

 

[Andre Xiong]

should be Couture easily
-HW tournament winner
-multi-time HW champion of both the old and more modern era

-big Mirko fan

 

[Ralph Wiggum]

I don't know if Randy was even at crip crop's level, let alone Cro Cop.

 

[RespekBA]

When Cro Cop was in his prime, he was absolutley terrifying in the most dangerous heavyweight division in the world. When Randy Couture was in his prime, he still lost about every second or third fight.

 

[TheNinja]

Not even close. In no way was Randy ever as good as Cro Cop. Randy got a lot of props b/c he was an old man at the time when he fought. But he alternated a lot of wins and losses in his prime. Cro Cop was a wrecking machine in his Prime.

Couture>Cro Cop

 

[Abezal]

Randy fought in ufc's pathetic hw division that's why, when their hw belt meant as much as the kotc belt. Plus he lost as much as he won. Its easy to see why many view him as lower on the all time ranking.

 

[chinarice]

So many people putting Cro Cop on their top 5 HWs and leaving off Couture.

How??

Because Crocop is a better HW? His win over Josh Barnett is better than any HW win Randy has. Crocop would have murdered Randy

 

[DrGlaze]

I think Mirko would've won if they had ever met in the ring, Randy might edge it in the octagon. Fedor would've beaten Randy at any point. Just my opinion, they're all the top heavyweights of that era though.

 

[JohnSAFTAHess]

I really wish that fight happened.
