How would Gus do at HW?

He'd be fast but I wonder if he'd have the power Phone Post 3.0

I dont think he has hw power. Phone Post

Maybe not the power some others have but he would be way faster and more skilled than almost all of them. I think he hits just as hard as Cormier Phone Post

Only one way to find out. Gus vs Bigfoot! Phone Post 3.0

Mauler vs Warmaster would be awesome Phone Post 3.0

he'd be average.

He don't need to worry about heavyweight he needs to either rematch or work his way back to rematch with Jones to get what should already be his Phone Post 3.0

Not well Phone Post 3.0

I think he would do alright. Better than Vera IMO Phone Post 3.0

Vera wasn't awful at HW. He walked right through Mir at least.

This. There are weight classes for a reason. Why everyone has trouble understanding this is beyond me.

Only at the lighter weights can guys jump around. Phone Post 3.0

I disagree. Lots of guys have dabbled in the lhw hw range. Case in point randy couture.

Cormier is doing it. Cain can make 205.
Etc. Phone Post

If Gus was a hw I bet he would weigh in in the 235-240 range. Probably be a bit a bigger. Phone Post

Kazp306 - Dan henderson was successful at 206. Anything can happen. I think JDS and Cain would utterly destroy Gustafson. Phone Post

They've utterly destroyed everyone though. Even each other. Phone Post

Unless Gus suffered some injury like Browne did I think he would win without much trouble. Phone Post

Randy is a terrible example, he wasn't exactly a dominate hw he took a lot of ass whoopings and he was not competing against big athletic killers that compete today.

Gus would die in heavyweight and if it makes you feel better probably so would jones

Vera had some great KOs when the HW division was at its weakest. Also, wasn't Mir coming off of his motorcycle incident? Phone Post 3.0
Yeah he was coming off a damn near career ending motorcycle accident. He looked terribly out of shape as well.

I don't think it's a very good indication of Vera's ability at HW. And the UFCs HW division was super weak back then. Phone Post 3.0

would need different rules imo
