Mangasm Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Any time Cro Cop has a fight now people bring up him moving down to LHW, while others still think he can go in HW. So let's finally have an official poll, fan opinion should Mirko stay in the heavyweight or move down to the Light heavyweight division? I really think he should move down, this generation of heavyweight is just FILLED with bulky monsters, and Mirko's size is really getting detrimental to him.

InvisibleControl Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I'd rather see him at 205 personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raffy_handsome Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 He should cut to 205. But I don't think at his age right now if he can still do the required training & conditioning to do it. Same as with Cain & Fedor, they must also cut to 205 coz sooner the pain of reality will catch up to them that gone is the era of 230-245 lbs guy ruling the HW, gone are the days that when you're 265 you're a slow HW, 265 HW guys now are quicker & stronger (Brock, Mir & Carwin) than their counterpart 5 years ago.

daweedy Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 He just needs his confidence back. Easier said than done. He was fighting bigger guys his entire carrer. And he didnt lose his fights beacuse he was smallar, he lost them beacuse he was fighting safe without taking any chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ichigo Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 i dont see why he should move down he more or less built a career of kicking down guys bigger than him just because he doesnt really seem motivated anymore doesnt mean he needs a change of weight class he just needs his confidence and the motivation back. I really hate this when a fighter loses a few fights people on here seem to instantly goto there argument that he does not belong in his division anymore its stupid.

claxp94 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I think if he can cut down to 205 then he should stay there. Although doesnt he come to fights at around 235? He looks cut at HW so IDK if he could drop. Anyways I think he'll do better at LHW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnydingo Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 LHW, he may be able to rekindle his career there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshness Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Here's my argument. If he cuts down to LHW, what advantage does he have over the other LHW? His quickness at being able to cutdown the larger fighters is gone. The LHW fighters will be faster than him. He'll be the bigger fighter now, do you really see him going for takedowns and using his size to control his fighter? Face it, HW is where he belongs and what is lacking in him is motivation. If he can rekindle that fire that he had inside him then maybe we would see the old cro cop back. But the reality is, he is 35 years old now and his best years are more than likely behind him. Remember the guy has been through some wars and his body is more than likely not in the condition it was in 5 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ares9139 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I think he's too old to manage the cut now, there's no real purpose in fighting at 205 except that he'd be slightly bigger. He might as well finish his career in the heavyweight division where he can still have a moderate speed advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirko4life Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Cro Cop should stay wherever he wants. He is a legend in the sport and deserves to have the choice of fighting. He said himself he won't cut to LHW because he likes HW so HW it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentson Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 He could EASILY cut to 205. Now that Randy is out he is the smallest hw that has somewhat of a name. He should make the cut but he won't ever do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
