Tito Vs Shamrock

[redsamurai]

can anyone tell me why shamrock ever came down in weight so much? Didn't he use to fight at 230? I mean, watching Tito.....who has no legs, push shamrock around for the 3rd straight fight was just vexing. Shamrock just has no power anymore......I can see losing some quickness at his age, but so much strength? I don't get it.....but maybe now we get to see Tito fight some real competition. He's got to be next up for Ice man right? Or does Dana have someone else in the LW's next in line?

He was 230 before weight classes - if you think he got pushed around by Tito imagine someone like Tim Silvia.

42 year old Ken or 32 year old Ken...

Ken was great in his day, but to compare him to current fighters is kind of ridiculous at any age IMO.

And yeah, I think the next LHW championship bout would have to be Chuck v. Tito, the class is not really very deep and in terms of marketability no other fight would come close.

well MiddleWeight and Light HeavyWeight are kinda screwed right now
there isn't a lot of stuff for them to deal with
Rashad I think has a lot of potential same with Matt the Hammer, but neither are nearly ready
but Rashad Forrest would be a good mid level fight

and with middleweight
Anderson Silva just dominated Franklin, who had prevously dominated all the 185ers who he bumped into
so I'm not sure what Silva is going to do now tha the has the belt

yeah i was thinking about that one Rashad VS Forrest. That would be a good since both of them are young and seem to improve every fight.

He used to do a lot of gear. Now they test, 200-205 is what he walks around at.

 

[Kane Fan]

um, I have lifted weight for awhile now and anyone on the lifting portions of this forum actually should be able to tell you that Ken is not 200-205 for walkaround...
unless he's really short...
built like that I'd say his walkabout is 220

Although you can find his height posted around the net from 5'11" to 6'1", he in reality is about 5'10".

He weighed in at 203 for the fight, fully clothed, after eating a burger and milkshake before stepping on the scale.

Ken could likely cut to 185.
