Maybe, but the fact is that he had 3 fights under his belt when he fought Cro Cop. I don't care what potential he had, he was NOT a big win at...
Absolutely not. It's subjective but I don't see one single win on Cro Cop's resume that is clearly better than Franklin's. To me, it's like...
Actually no, Franklin had never been submitted or knocked out at 185. His lone loss before Silva was at 205 to Lyoto Machida. And Silva destroyed...
No, but it's still a "blemish" on his resume. And again, I'm still waiting on someone to tell me the great fighter that Cro Cop beat?...
I hope you're not laughing at a win over Sakurai. He has a win over the great Shinya Aoki..... :lol::lol:
Franklin beat every other UFC MW and then got his ass handed to him twice by Silva. Even if the division was shit, Franklin owned it and Silva...
Bullshit. The dude was subbed by Big Nog less than a year before getting pounded by Randleman. Like I said, I love highlight reel KO's. But tell...
In my opinion, and this is looking at EVERYTHING in retrospect, Silva's two destructive stoppages of Franklin were more impressive than Fedor...
At 205.. At middleweight he was exactly a year removed from knocking out Wanderlai Silva. The Henderson that fought Rampage and then Anderson...
I'm not disputing where his standing was at the time. I am simply saying, in retrospect, with a better understanding of those who were talented...
Yeah, it's funny, he touts Cro Cop as a huge win on Fedor's resume yet slams Henderson on Silva's resume. This is the same Dan Henderson that...
Honestly, someone tell me why Cro Cop continues to be considered a marquee win? I am huge fan of highlight reel knockouts but the guy has never...
Well, let's be honest. We are all fight fans and we know if a fighter tells the doctor that he "can't see out of" a damaged eye, that fight is...
Silva also thinks Steven Seagal is amazing. I would trust my opinion more than Anderson's... Afterall, did Anderson pick Bigfoot???? No, but I...
How'd that turn out?
Watching on TV, only Montreal with GSP compares in terms of atmosphere to a San Jose card. And I'm sure Toronto will be the same. Apparently GSP...
Fedor is the greatest HW in MMA history beyond a shadow of a doubt. But if I had a gun to my head, Silva would be my pick for the best MMA...
But you know as well as I do when the fighter say he can't see, the doctor will always stop it. He can't let it go at that point. Hey, don't get...
Well, he did manage to seriously test Shane Mosely at 154 less than 4 months before Shane beat Margarito to become the 'best welterweight in the...
Damn GF, you're a hardcore son of a gun. If that's MY fighter and I'm in his corner, it would tough for me to send him back out there unless he...
Are you kidding? I've seen guys struggle to get the mount before, but this wasn't one of those times. I would call it almost 'easy'. I'll...
I wasn't shocked at all that they stopped the fight. Honestly, I am a big fan of guys continuing through injury and adversity, but I don't think...
You do realize that Fedor's face was absolutely jacked up because of Silva's 'sloppy' hands, right? I will admit that I am always hesitant to...
I didn't really want to start a debate about this, but in all honesty dude, Fedor has never grabbed an armbar on a BJJ blackbelt. And he certainly...
Good stuff Joony. I've been to several MMA events down here over the last 5 years and I've attended live boxing at various times since I was 5....
I didn't really mean to diminish what Fedor had accomplished. But the truth is that the biggest wins of his career were over guys that were one...
For me I think that makes it more competitive than 185. One thing I wonder though, will it be a title fight at 178? If this is a 3 rounder at...
Wrestling is the only area where GSP is the better fighter. But in addition to what you listed, I will also add that some of the natural things...
Dude, the topic is starting to bore me to tears. I get it. All things boxing = good. MMA = bad. Yet here you are in the MMA section again. LOL....
Only a 4-5 point difference between the best and worst finishers this week so Newbraski keeps the top spot locked down. [IMG]
