    Both guys absolutely dominate their divisions - could Penn do a number on Silva?

    No :lol:

    Silva isn't Sean Sherk. If BJ tries boxing with Silva he would be KTFO in 1 round.

    No way Silva and Sherk are not the same guy:lol:

    IMO I dont see anyone defeating Silva but Penn is a good fighter and this would be competitive.

    TKO, are you aware that Silva is much bigger? Penn fights at 155, Silva at 185.

    Actually Silva fights at 205. Massive weight difference.

    It's a junior middle against a cruiserweight, silly discussion.

    Well, beings Penn just got worked when he decided to move up to WW, lets see, if he goes up another weight class, could he beat Anderson, the most dominant champ in all UFC? I am going on a limb here and saying no.

    I'm not saying he beats Anderson but he didn't really get worked at 170. He beat Hughes once and lost once and had a VERY close fight with GSP. How does that equate to getting worked?
