Kongo would beat him if AS stands with him, CroCop no so much. Kongo was K1 fighter I believe and has some of the best hands in the HW division. He also has a decent chin. Almost all his loses were because he has absolutely no ground game. I would love for AS to faint the standup, pull a TD to surprise everyone and sub him, that would be awesome.
CroCop I think doesn't have it anymore to beat AS. But he definitely wouldn't be a long shot, unlike Forrest.
so.. Kongo could stand and trade with him because he was a K1 fighter, But CroCop couldn't even though he was also a K1 fighter, and if im not mistaken one of the top rated K1 fighters to fight MMA when he went to pride.
Cro-Cop was K1 you are right but if you see his standup now vs when he was in pride(or K1) you'll notice a big difference. He's past his point. When he fought Gonzaga he got owned on the feet as well as on the ground. When he fought Kongo he got destroyed on the feet(nut shots being left out of course). Also Kongo is what 6'4 6'5? 240, Cro- Cop is about Silva's height with shorter reach and doesn't weigh that much more than Silva(walking around weight). Cro-Cop would lose. I don't think it would be a slaughter but he would still lose.
Prior to making any speculations about CC, I'd need to see where he's at skill wise these days. Of these three fighters, CC is my favorite, but I don't see CC beating the current Anderson Silva.
I'd give the fight to AS against Cheick as well, but not based on anything I could thoroughly argue, just a first instinct opinion.
Pretty much completely agree with this. Pure speculation threads like this are silly, because far too many people get serious about them.
I'd say on record and quality of opponents alone, as well as considering the fact that CC is a relatively small HW, AA would probably take it. As for Cheick... it's basically impossible to say. We've never even seen Silva fight anyone close to that large.
I do not see Cro Cop as a threat to Anderson Silva. Cro Cop is not the same guy he once was...
As for Kongo.... Silva would need all three rounds to beat him. Kongo has a tough chin... and despite having a weak ground game, if Kongo and Silva hit the ground, I think Kongo would pound Silva. :smoke01:
If Fedor gets on top of AS it will be a long night for the Spider. I don't even think he'll go for a sub, he'll just GnP him. Standing Fedor would lose IMO. Fedor is by no means a pushover in the standup game, but that's AS's bread and butter. I see Fedor confusing AS a bit during the feel out process and taking him down when he leasts expects it. It'll be game over at that point. Same result would happen if he decides to stand and play pattie cake with AS.
I think Silva wouild use footwork to avoid the takedown with Fedor. I thik Silva would beat Fedor. I dont care about weight or anything in this instance I truly feel Anderson would take Fedor to striking school
Do you honestly believe a Russian ***** Champion would have trouble taking Anderson Silva down? :confused02:
