| Cro-cop at 205
Ok we all know that Cro Cop has always been pretty small for a HW, and it is only more apparent in the UFC where a lot of fighters cut a lot of weight, Forrest and Tito seem bigger than 225 in their fights imo . Now he would never move down to 205, i think he said it in an interview before. So my question is if he did cut to 205 now, how would he fair and what matches would you like to see. Now i would comment but i am very biased and even with his recent performances i would still pick him over just about anyone.

Agreed. I've said it before and I really think CC belongs at 205. I think he is prob about the same size as rampage, tito, forrest etc.. and I think he would be much more dominant at that weight. But considering the fact that he has stated he wants to focus on getting bigger (slowly while keeping speed) we are left dreaming. But yea I pick CC over anyone at 205.

I agree. I think Cro Cop is a crucial threat to any top 5 in LHW if he ever were to drop. UFC 75 was on TV the other night, and it was the first time I was able to see him and Kongo since the first time. He did very well in the first round against the much biger Kongo. It was only part way through the second that you could really even see him start to break. I kept saying the whole time I was watching how much I thought that if he were fighting anyone in LHW that he wouldnt have that huge "size hurdle" and that he would be knocking people out all over the place.

Here is my thing on Cro Cop at 205
I would love to see it.. I think the fact that he says he can't cut the weight is bullshit... he doesn't WANT to cut the weight. I think he would do extremely well and maybe even get the belt (he is fast at HW, imagine his speed at LHW, not to mention his power and size)
Right now, he is going in the opposite direction, so I don't think we will see it anytime soon.

I think CC's legs weigh almost 205 lbs, they're massive.
