Pat Barry:Cro Cop hasn't fallen off -- everyone else has gotten that much better

[MindSpin]

"Cro Cop, since the beginning of my career, has been one of my top five favorite and most dangerous fighters of all time. Just the fact that I get to test myself against him, one of my idols, obviously I must be doing something right to be given this opportunity. I'm just gonna swing for the fences and see what happens. My brother and I used to sit around watching him in K-1 saying 'I hope I never have to fight this guy, ever.' He's the same Cro Cop. He's as deadly as he ever was. The only difference is, instead of him falling off, everyone else has had no choice but to get that much better."

thats one of the most stupid things i ever read about Cro Cop...so he is saying he is the same guy from the GP? ok...


Cro Crop is a living legend, but even the die hard fans (as me) have to agree something was lost in the way...and i dont even think is physical, his mind just doesnt seem to be there anymore

Hahaha, what a crock of shit.

CroCop said himself he doesn't have the heart for this anymore..I love the guy but think he really needs to retire so he doesn't end up looking like some of the guys who thought they could keep going..

I think his biggest problem was he got too arrogant to adapt to the UFC's octagon and didn't train in a cage until like a year ago...serious mistake...also he has serious commitment phobia.. he seems very nervous and cautious in the ring..much more then the old Pride CroCop.
