Ernesto Hoost better than Cro Cop?

SNOWMANWINS · 04-14-2007, 07:52 AM

I was just thinking about the battles hoost and Cro Cop had. Hoost had beaten him 3 times. Does this mean that hoost is and was a better fighter or would you be more likely to say that Hoost had more experience at that point in his career as Cro Cop was not at his peak then. Just wanted to throw that out there

You Mean To Tell Me You Needed To Get On The Computer For That Questions. I Will Answer It For You, Cro Cop Is A Much Better Fighter Now That He Ever Was When He Fought Hoost.

I don't know, I would like to say that, but it's so hard to compare his K-1 and MMA Careers. it's been a while since he's been in K-1 and he's done some great things in MMA. I would like to see Cro-Cop go into another K-1 Gp some day, see how he would do today.

Hoost is the best Kickboxer in the history of kickboxing, period.

Other's right up there:

Dekkers
Buakaw
Hugg
Le Banner
Benny "Jet"

Cro Cop was great but not nearly as good nor accomplished as hte rest of the above mentioned names.

cro cop's a better fighter than hoost, but hoost is a much better kickboxer. serra beat gomi in abu dhabi but that doesn't make him a better fighter(though each's last fight could help that arguement). MMA is very different than K-1, boxing, BJJ, or any other practice out there. one's accomplishments in one can mean nothing for an mma career.

People need to stop comparing Hoost with Cro cop, there were many fighters in k1 considered to be better than Cro Cop, so to pick the best and ask is he better is kinda strange,
How bout, is Jerome Lebanner better than Cro Cop?

Cro-cop wasnt a great K-1 Kickboxer, he was a good K-1 Kickboxer

Hoost was great.

Exactly, and I think people forget that your average MMA fighter is not that good at striking in the first place. CroCop has years of experience as a kickboxer so he's leaps and bounds better than most MMA fighters when it comes to striking. When people like Carter Williams, get 2 years of ground experience, things are really going to be interesting.
