How do you rank Anderson Silva on HW?

spartacus_

i just posted something about and i wonder what you guys think.

we've seen Anderson fight at 205 a few times. how well do you think he would do in the heavyweight division?

let's just assume he would stick to 205lbs.

Thinking about how well he would do at HW whilst just assuming he would stay at 205 is.....brrrr brrrr brrrr

how hard is it to understand? i mean against heavyweights, but i said he would stay at 205 because that's the anderson silva we've seen.

Tapped2strikes

Ok then. He would TKO Mir, but that's it.

Could he beat the Phil de Fries and Christian Morecraft's of the world? Probably. I wouldn't expect him to beat any top Heavyweights though.

He would probably beat everyone.

vs. JDS - i see this being a close fight as long as each guy's chin holds up which i think it would both can take an incredible shot to the chin. both are also very technical and would not try to force the KO. i see a 5 round technical stand up fight that will be remembered for a long time; could go either way but i see jds roughing anderson up near the end forcing his weight and strength on top of him and dominating the last round taking the UD victory.

you haven't seen these guys fight much then...there's no way with the striking ability of these 2 it goes 5 rounds in the standup

Cain and JDS would beat him. Black fedor too maybe, with wrassling.

Reem's glass chin would get shattered. Mir's too.
He'd KO werdum
KO Bigfeet


He'd beat most of them most likely, and he'd do it by burgerkinging to 206lbs. (so he's officially a HW)

exactly my thoughts. althought i'm not so sure about Cain and JDS, i think he could beat them. but yes, he would be the underdog.

i guess cormier would be his worst match up.

ps. burgerkinging to 206 :))

Are u guys serious?... Brain meltdown.
You actually think Anderson Sivla would beat the Reem? haha
Well i've seen your posts from before so I know you dislike the Reem but seriously, don't let it could your mind.
I'll tell you something right now, before the end of the year, AO will be the UFC HW champion, i'll bet my sig on it.

I'm pretty sure bigfoot would crush him too, just a matter of time before he gets a hold on Andersson and when he does it's all over.

Honestly, Anderson at heavyweight isn't THAT big of a stretch if you think about it. Anderson typically walks around about 210-220 during fight camp,

You could've at least checked your facts straight dude.

Silva weighed only 202lbs for the Bonnar fight at LHW!

And the reason for him fighting at LHW was that he wouldn't be able to reach his MW weight (having only a 4 week camp) from which he would be able to cut down to 185lbs. This means that his MW weight, after a 3 month camp, is significantly lower than that.
One can assume it has to be around 195lbs.

Trivia: GSP fought Dan Hardy at 194lbs.

Reem has been knocked out by lesser strikers than Anderson Silva, all those roid muscles won't help his chin in the slightest.

I don't think Overeem or Junior could stand with Anderson but they may be able to clinch him or get him down and wreck him badly still. I have a hard time seeing Anderson beat Cormier or Cain though.

Anderson has a huge speed advantage over Cain and Cormier. I see him submitting Cormier & KOing Cain.
Overeem & JDS would stand with Anderson because of their egos. JDS would be the toughest fight overall imo.
It's all speculation anyways and will probably never happen so there's no point in wasting any more time thinking about it.
