He got his tooth knocked out by Diego.

Not going to take this thread too seriously, however I've always wondered how his title shot against Hughes would have went down had he not pulled out.

 

[Pseudo Sane]

Karo was legit but had tragic problems with anxiety, iirc, to the point where he would have straight up panic attacks.

 

[I WILL CUT YOU]

You should talk to people in the 18 to 34 demographic about that.

Or I could watch the fights. Nick didn't win a single round in either fight.

If he is considered great to you, you must have a very low standard of greatness.

YES pound for pound king

Karo was one of the most exciting fighters in his prime but he was not one of the best. His fights were always guaranteed action though. Karo/Burkman, Karo/Diaz, Karo/Sanchez some of the best fights ever.

 

[ironfist05]

he was a top 15 AT WW in my opinion, so however you rank that

 

[gopackgo555]

Lol he lost to Kim and he was on painkillers but nice try

 

[edco76]

Probly not even top 10 all time p4p

Not even top 10 ww all time...

Don't blue Troll posts?

You could do that too... but watching them years later, out of context seems to reduce those fights to just a couple of old school dudes in the past. Diaz wasn't Diaz then.

I just read what you said; I thought you were absolutely right before and you still are now.

His Judo throws are the best in the world. All the other throws are done by little girls.

 

[blitzk]

you're not serious, are you?

Karo was not the best but he was for sure a top ten WW in his prime.His career was ruined by panic disorder and the debilitating physical symtoms that go along with the disorder that would have for sure prevented him from training at his full potential or even being able to train at all.

I think the pain pill addiction may have contributed as well...

No.

He was excellent before whatever it was he was taking too much of though.
