check schilts record, he's lost quite a few times and everyone he fights is about a foot shorter than him.. relevant or not, i think semmy would pick apart tim sylvia and get the ko/tko, just how they match up, tim's a good striker when he's boxing guys that are much shorter and smaller in weight than himself, i don't see him stopping any k1 athletes whether it's crocop and hunt or schilt and lebanner

i meant height-wise, which is what this topic is considering.
secondly, 6'0 is nothing for a HW. that is why you don't see more HWs lower than that. it is the lower end

Wasn't there a big difference in height with Kharitonov and Schilt?

Fedor and Nog owning Zulu would be in there as well as Minowa and G. Silva, but Silva and Zulu suck.

i still think zulu can be a B level fighter. hes only lost to the top 2 guys so far. give him a Josh Thompson, and see how good he is.

Giant Silva is 1-6 while Tim is a two-time UFC heavyweight champion with a record of 22-2 (with 16 KOs) and decisive wins over Andrei Arlovski (2x), a prime Ricco Rodriguez, Assuerio Silva, Tra Telligman, and Cabbage.

The bashing of Tim is getting out of hand when he is being compared to freak shows. He might not be your favorite fighter but he is widely regarded as one of the hardest working heavyweights in all of MMA and deserves a certain level of respect.

Rashad Evan Beat Brad Imes that was a pretty big size difference
