If you're strictly speaking powerpunchers... then yea, you're right. But Randy is CERTAINLY a better boxer than Jackson, and I'm not sure that's really even up for debate... though Jackson could still knock Randy out(overwhelming power sometimes beats good technique sadly).
I it's funny that people seem to forget the fact that Crocop was a weight class above Silva, and I doubt Liddell would of been able to last any longer against Crocop.
Vitor Belfort is one of the biggest waste of talent ever, he's pretty much got the power to knock out anyone. If he'd ever get his head out of his ass he'd be back on top in no time. And as far as I'm concerned about Tito, he's just gone down hill while Silva's gone up hill while. Silva's been pride's champion for a while now and tito's been struggling to get back to where he was.. He's gonna need all the luck in the world when he fights Liddell
Can't agree more. In fact, even pound for pound, cro cop is just a better striker. Just better.
then there's no excuse why Liddell shouldn't fight Silva in February then.[/QUOTE]
