    honestly, out of the three, i think silva was the best. i think most would agree w/ me. the reason why i bring this up is because hopkins and roy are fighting this weekend and truth be told, it doesn't have much significance as far as their legacy goes. but then again, if roy somehow wins, then he can always have that claim as the superior guy between the two.

    considering silva's decline since Pride and belfort's recent resurgence, if the two were to face off today, it wouldnt be a surprise at all if belfort knocked silva out. same goes for tito. if tito, the bigger guy, beat silva w/ consistent takedowns, it's very well perceiveable.

    having said that, silva was at his best in Pride in early to mid 2000s.

    if silva were to face tito or belfort in the near future and loses, would that somehow affect his legacy?

    No, Silva is beyond shot, as is Ortiz. They are completely different fighters now.

    Ortiz's skills are outdated. All he ever had was his wrestling and GnP. Now everybody knows how to deal with his style of fighting. He can't box for sh*t and his kicks are pathetic. So really...he got nothing today! Nobody is afraid of Ortiz. He's a good head to have on your resume I guess.

    well its sorta different between belfort and wanderlei than hopkins and jones since belfort KTFO wanderlei when they fought a long time ago in UFC

    tito also beat wanderlei but not nearly as decisively as belfort

    all that being said i still think wanderlei's work in pride makes him the best out of the 3
