Convenient again, bring something up from 5 years ago. A solo fight at that. The fact is, he fought lesser versions of Sylvia and AA. By your logic, Slappy wasn't ducking RJJ because clearly fought him 4 or 5 years later. Ohwait that's terrible logic. Also, Mir has been back on form for three years now. Horrible excuse.
I understand Fedor not being P4P number 1 now obviously, but why Silva? When was the last time Silva looked like the P4P number 1? I think GSP is clearly the best MMA fighter pound for pound, and I'm not even a GSP fan, his fights are borefests, but he's absurdly dominant over decent opposition.
Again, you are the one that spouted out your ass about Fedor ducking people for 6 years. And then you included Mir, AA and Sylvia among those he had ducked over those 6 years.. So either Fedor avoided a near-dead Mir or the same Mir that was getting knocked out by Cruz, Vera, Lesnar or Carwin. Which is it? And with Sylvia and AA, if he avoided them at their UFC peak it is back when Fedor was battling Mirko Cro Cop, who at the time was a Top 5 HW himself. The bottom line is you were talking out of your ass. You have zero basis for your point.
This is just laughable and shows your stupidity. Couture was supposed to fight Fedor bit it never happened because Couture decided to be Danas nitch instead. Mir?? Please, he was too busy getting blasted by chumps. AA and Sylvia before they left the UFC??? Like a year makes any difference?? Gonzaga??? Seriously? Lesnarvis still a baby. Your hate is clearly clouding your judgement. Do you even realiza that you are the forum joke? Go pop some zits.
His destruction of Griffin. I agree with GSP though, although I put them even because I much prefer Silva.
I think a good argument could be made for either. Silva has the win streak but I agree that GSP has looked more dominant. But then again, you have to go all the way back to Round 1 versus Henderson to find a round that Silva clearly lost. Personally, if I were ranking them, I would have Silva at number 1. And the deciding factor for me is that I honestly think he could bounce back and forth between 185 and 205 and rule both divisions. That's some P4P ammunition right there.
Personally, REED Would Rate GSP # 2, w/Silva Being # 1...Silva's Last Several MIDDLEWEIGHT Fights have Been Subpar, but he's Also Squeezed in 2 Lightheavy Bouts...& Silva COULDN'T have Been MORE DOMINANT in those Outings... GSP Won't even THINK about 185 Until Anderson Silva is GONE...Silva's ALREADY Dominated Men in HIGHER Weight Classes...GSP Hasn't... REED:hammert:
Better than fighting Gary Goodrige. Consistently fighting good conp is dangerous for anyone and a true test of greatness. Fedor has never done that. No matter your feelings on the UFC's division at the time, it wouldve actually tested Fedor, unlike Choi and lindland. It's not like Fedor is incapable of losing to supposed lesser fighters, he just lost o number 10 ranks Werdum. Who was also in the UFC that Fedor wanted no part of? Let me guess, " Werdum, he was gettin beat by newcomers!" ?
Yes and keep in mind, not only did Fedor duck Sylvia and AA but he fought Mirko Cro Cop to do it. To me, that's what makes this so funny. If your old enough to remember Cro Cop- Fedor, they were considered to be the Top 2 HW's in the world by everyone not vested in the UFC. Fedor needs to learn how duck a little more safely.
I need to remind everyone that TLC called Werdum a UFC cast off and picked Fedor to easily handle him.
This is the logic of Fedor sackhuggers, "Fedor fought one good fighter during a stretch of several so he is exempt from criticism" too bad he followed that win Zuluzihno and Mark Hunt. I hope Brock Lesnat fights Bob Sapp next, so he too, can form his mystique off cans.
I didn't pick Fedor to easily beat. I said he SHOULD beat Werdum on the condition he stands with him. And again, Werdum IS a UFC castoff.
Thats not how PFP works for me. To me its who can beat who if everyone was the same weight. IMO, Fedor can beat Silva. No way Silva outpoints fedor before fedor takes him down and subs the guy. Its just not happen.
Actually this isn't logic, it's a clear answer to your claim that he ducked Sylvia, AA and Frank Mir over a 6 year period, which by any stretch of the imagination makes no sense.
Basically all of the top fighters of the era had to fight Goodridge, so why not Fedor? Once again. Blind hate.
Gary Goodridge is/was and forever shall be irrelevent, your statement is laughter-inducing moreso than meaningful.
It doesn't matter. Use your brain and pay attention to my post. MOST of the top HW's of the era had to fight Goodridge at one time or another. Why do you give Fedor hate for it.
Goodridge may actually the biggest joke in MMA, no other fighter has shown the the ability to quit and bitch out of a fight. A man who at multiple times has submitted from merely being taken down, a man who quit a fight for no apparent reason, a man who gasses after a round, and quit because of it. He recently outdid his own bitch self by getting DQd for leaving in the middle of a match. :: A worthy opponent for the great one of course. :laughing:
Until Last Night, there was "No Way" Fedor would B BAITED & Subesquently Forced to TAP Either... REED:mj:
The fact that the Mafia run PRIDE was a joke doesn't concern me. What does us that FEDOR was a champion of an org and had several fights where he beat up cans in non-title belts. Outside of title fights with CC, Nog and the hyper talented Mark Hunt.
I thought Fedor also fought former UFC Champions Mark Coleman and Kevin Randleman in Pride. I think he also fought UFC mainstay Heath Herring in Pride.
That's funny, because Pride clowned the UFC during it's whole existence, but of course you wouldn't know this because you were still in diapers.
What the fuck are you talking about? I watched PRIDE...it's clearly a joke in terms of management. Had good fighters but the org itself was shady and had terrible management. Diapers..-_-, MMA didn't even exist in it's current form when I was in diapers you fool.
Both of those guys sucked. And I havent seen Heath Herring since the Lesnar fight, I think he retired or something. He's not that good obviously anyway, or else Lesnar gets 2x the credit for dominating him than he usually gets from his haters on this site.. In Coleman's case it wasn't even 100% skill related, he was just old as shit. Randleman is just terrible though.
Not really true. Like i said, Alex use to submit him all the time in sparring. But silva isnt gonna submit fedor. ever
