See Barnett's fights with either

He never got KO'd by Barnett.

Don't make it seem like Liddell is some Joe Schmoe LHW. Randy might have been pounded out by bigger HW's, but still didn't get KO'd. We're talking about chins here right? Let's not go off on different tangents.

I know he said K-1... but we are talking about chins in here, and he tried to say that Crocop never got knocked out.... so, it doesn't matter if it's MMA or other

It would have been a less of a blemish on his record if he was knocked out cold by kickboxers in K-1 than by a wrestler in MMA.

Crocop was flopping like a fish out of water from the time McDonald cought him with a short hook from the clinch. Once the ref separated them, just before he stopped the fight, Crocop threw a punch into the thin air about 2 feet away from McDonald, which showed that he was basically out on his feet. The only reason he wasn't knocked out cold is because the ref saved his butt by stopping the fight.

Well I would say this is a hard question, but since I'm forced, I would say Randy has a slightly better chin, due to the fact that Chuck>Randlman(power punches). But Randy hides his chin better due to the threat of shooting in for the TD, Mirko stands in the pocket ready to explode. Most strikers take punches to give them. Damn hate contradicting myself, fuck it Randy's chin>CC chin

Based on what? Randy goes down after getting hit by Chuck even once, Mirko has only been KO'd one time in Pride.

It's not really fair to judge that - Cro Cop got KO'd by a overhand right (I think - I haven't watched the fight in a while, I could be wrong) while Couture got hit by Liddell's loopy punches, the only time that he got KO'd. Basically, what I'm saying is that there's not really enough reference to know who's is weaker.

Simply impossible to answer...
id have to agree
