Silva would wreck chuck, chuck is way to sloppy of a fighter to try anderson. Chuck would drop his hands to waist level like he is known so much for and get kicked in the head. Silva took out Henderson whom has some heavy hands, heavy enough to knock out wandy, even chuck couldnt knock out wandy so I say Anderson would win. Actually I think Anderson would walk through the Light heavy division also, the guy is a slim 185 and very fast so I can only imagine him at 205, dont think he would loose the speed at all but only gain some un-needed strength.

Anderson is a big middleweight, and a much better striker than chuck. I don’t see Chuck giving him many problems

There are some smart fight fans, but why has no one picked up on what makes Silva so great. His head movement is by far the best in MMA. Heck it’s some of the best in all of fighting, including any boxer at the moment. You can’t hit him if he is moving like he does.

Next his footwork is great. He always puts himself where he needs to be on offense and defense. Look at all his fights, he always has great angles to attack and defend from. That comes from great footwork.

Then the obvious, his punching accuracy is crazy. Go back and look at the fights. In the first Franklin fight he was in the 90% accuracy range. He was up there for the Hendo fight to.

He beats Liddell, Wandi would be a good fight, so would Rampage. The fight I would love to see is Silva vs. GSP. Both of those guys are on a level all to themselves at this point. If size wasn’t a factor, I think they could both beat anyone in the UFC. Seeing them square off would be just awesome to watch.

Anyone who thinks Liddell will surely beat Silva should enter into Crack Addict Rehab. Dana doesn’t like fighter to move up and down in weight classes. I doubt that’s the announcement. How could that be “where UFC is going over the next 5 years”? It’s probably an HBO deal, Network Deal or Big International Deal. Urijah need to come up and gith BJ and get a little lumped up for once.

HEIGHT!!! REACH!! This would be a tough fight for Silva. Knees from the clinch are outta the question. When was the last time you saw someone clinch with Liddell? The very first Couture fight? Years ago! I think Chuck wins this fight, although I don’t care either way. I’m not a huge fan of either. I do look forward to it (if it happens) because it could be an EPIC war, one of the greatest battles of all time.

He’s not overrated. He lost 2 fights, and then beat Wandy. he’s still an elite fighter.

Silva needs to learn to speak English if he wants to become a name like Chuck Liddell. I’m not prejudiced, Im just stating a fact.
