Yeah, I don't think Crocop will have too much trouble reaching Sylvia's head after he lands a couple of leg kicks. He's landed shots on Aleksander Emelianenko (6'6") and Sylvia leans into his punches.

I just voted for Tim now(the second one)just to be difficult:cheeky4: . I would guess crocop would win but you have to give a Tim a chance. He isn't a bad fighter and with his reach he could land a big shot. Crocop's spacing, imo, was a little tight with Wandy although he keeps his defense tight and throws very nice straight shots. I think Tim is a good fighter and with his size he has a chance. I would bet on the long shot with Tim unless the odds weren't good enough then I take Crocop. I have been in ma for a very long time and to say this guy would crush that guy is fun but often incorrect when you are talking about proven fighters.

your right that time would have a shot..hes not a bum by any means..i just think mirko is on another level..the leg kicks would take tim out of the fight..and wear him down..and than bang tim gets put to sleep

This fight is kind of unrealistic. Tim Sylvia doesn't have half the balls to sign a contract with CroCop, nor Fedor. In a recent interview, I heard Fedor offered Sylvia a contract, and Sylvia subsequently denied.

But, if the fight were to go down... I'd say Mirko would win, submission strikes. :)

big size advantage but cro cop could beat steroid boy. slow him down with some good kicks and maybe ko him with the big head kick (if he can get it up that high)
