Crocop at 205=champion
 
He's lean at 220 but if he could cut the weight he'd be damn near unstopable at 205. Nobody (including Chuck) would outstrike him, and he's damn hard to take down. His ground game has really come up from training with Werdum. After he gets beat by Fedor look for him to drop down. I guarantee it.

Wouldn't make sense for him to have to strave himself trying to make 205. Not to mention thats some bitch shit to cut weight to pick on smaller fighters. The man is whipping HW ass so why the hell should he go to LHW? He's dominating HW.

Really pussy = cutting weight to fight smaller fighters because you lost a couple of HW fights.

Hey genious Chuck walks around at about 220, so does Tito,Wandy, Shogun. Hugues walks around at least 190 and cuts to 170. EVERYBODY DROPS WEIGHT TO BE THE BIGGER GUY! Doesn't meen your a pussy it meens your smart. Obviously your not a fighter.

Well, to be fair... if Cro-cop fights at 220, then he also probably walks around at 235-240. That's a fair amount of weight to cut to get down to 205.

Nitpick: "your" should be "you're" -hurt my eyes seeing that wrong 3 times in a row! LOL

Why the hell would he cut weight to be in the HW division?He could easily make LHW.He weighs about the same as Couture did.

Trust me Cro Cop cuts weight just to make 220. I do know alot about fighting, it's my favorite sport and been watch boxing since I was a toddler and MMA since UFC 1. Cro Cop is a very lean 220, Chuck is a slightly chunky 205, Cro Cop is a natural HW who has always fought in that weight class. He would probably burn himself out trying to make 205 (you probably have never heared of a fighter burning himself out). Every fighter needs to cut weight to make his natural weight, as soon as a fighter starts burning off more weight than his natural weight he starts burning muscle. Thats happend to many boxers.

Also most figthers vie to be the HW champion, thats just the most prestigious title to have so if a fighter is even 205 he will probably want to move up in weight unless he just can't compete with bigger fighters.

Anything else I can teach you Junior? :fingersmilie:

Scroll up.
Steelbone said he currently fights at 220. And wanted him to drop to 205.
I said that's a lot of weight for someone who walks around at (possibly) 235-240.

If he walks around at 235-240 why would he cut weight to fight at 220?Wouldn't he want to be as big as he could be?
