Do you guys think Cro Cop's weight could be a disadvantage to him in the heavy weight Class. He is a GREAT fighter ans has awesome Kicks and has very good Muay Thai hands, But he is 218 pounds when people he is going against are like 240+ Lbs. He did fight Bob Sapp but it never went to the ground because it was K1 fighting, but want about these guys who have like 40 or more pounds on him. I know he could High kick them to the head, but what if that misses, or only skims them or anything. I just want opinion on what you think with his weight. I think he could drop down to LHW or put on another 20 or more pounds and stay in HW.

I don't think so...21 - 4 - 2 (Win - Loss - Draw)

You could say the same about Fedor so I don't think that argument holds. I think his disadvantage is on the ground. His only losses so far are to Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (Submission - 2003) Kevin Randleman (KO -2004), Mark Hunt (Decision - 2005), and Fedor (Decision - 2005). You can always say weight is a disadvantage but I don't think anyone would bet against him because of his weight. He was dominating Nog before getting caught in that armbar. He revenged his loss to Randleman and took 2 of the best HW to a decision. Mind you these 2 HW might have the best chins also. He's very strong with his sprawl, a great Left hand, and the best LHK period.
