Cro Cop was great but not nearly as good nor accomplished as hte rest of the above mentioned names.

Peter Aerts is pretty nasty, too.

Yeah your right man people always get that confused

But Semmy was always a good stand up guy with bad sprawl so maby he should have started at k-1 in first place. Semmy had a draw with hoost in pride, kickboxing rules and it was at the time he was still a mma fighter. And it was kind of a bad decision and should have been a win for Semmy. Not just my opinion, even bas said that.

Cro cop lost to those ones he beat as well and vice versa. k1 is such an unpredictable combat sport isnt it since there are alot of tools involved.

yes hoost is a better kickboxer, there is no question. give hoost time to train the ground and wrestling and he could be more successful then cc, has the worst leg kicks iv ever seen, if he had great takedown defence like liddell, he could make almost everybody quit from leg kicks.

id love to see a well trained micheal mcdonald in mma, but didnt he fight machida already? he was the best

[valheruking]

I really dont understand the Michael McDonald love on some forums, he beat Cro Cop, so what? ,he never really achieved anything in K1, I would have thought someone like Jerome Le Banner was a much better prospect for a successful crossover if he took it seriously years ago when CC and Hunt were training, its all opinion anyway i guess.

Just wanted to throw that out there

Hoost was a better kickboxer back in the 90's than cro cop but now cro cop will destroy him.

Cro cop is an amazing kickboxer, but he isn't in the same league as the k1 greats. There is noway he would destroy hoost, people get carried away with how good cro cop is, he wouldn't destroy any of the top k1 fighters and ernesto is the best of the best in k1, the stats speak for themselves.
