Author Topic: Anderson Silva the greatest MMA fighter ever. (Read 8271 times)

Silva is the greatest P for P so far but
Jones beat more talent in convincing fashion
in the last 4 fights than anyone in history.
They both have great striking, including great elbows,
legs and knees. Both have good submissions but Jones is
a better wrestler. It goes without saying Jones is a lot bigger.
Speed is very close with an edge to Silva.
I think Jones has the potential to be the best ever, just hasn't had the
longevity yet.
A fight with Silva is a no win situation for Jones.
If he wins, he was expected to win and defend his weight class.
He's younger, bigger and although he didn't look it, at 37 Silva may be past his peak.

From here on out, anyone who doesn't wear the gay type GSP shorts when fighting Anderson, deserves to have their shorts grabbed. Anderson is brilliant at "dirty" type tactics. And any Vaseline on anything but the face should be grounds for disqualification. These fighters should be wiped down completely after each round.

They are the greatest, because they pull out wins when the cards are completely stacked against them. Lets see what Jones does when he is down 4 7/8 rounds at some point in his career. Does he pull it out or drop his title? It will happen at some point.

If this was judged by overall performance like boxing rather than tapping out, Silivia would have never won this fight period. Even the worst fighter can get lucky sometimes, are they still considered the greatest?

I agree.

I'd say Bones is the greatest ever. He has dominated everyone. Everyone. Silva hasn't. Sonnen/Silva 1 for instance.

What? Bones is great, but he hasn't defended his belt 10 consecutive times like Silva has. It's not Anderson's fault that he makes other middleweights look like scrubs.

And Jones doesn't make other LHWs look like scrubs? Silva had a hard time with Sonnen. Everyone saw that.

Jones has never had a hard time with anyone. I'd even go on to say the competition Jones has faced (Rua, Page, Shad, Machida) was tougher than Silva has faced.

It's close, but Jones has only defended what, 4 times? Let him win a few more fights first.

I just feel the calibre of fighters at MW aren't what they are at HW.

I'm curious to see how Jones fights Hendo. If he man handles Hendo like the others, he's best P4P without doubt. Silva's big snag was Sonnen. Jones hasn't had a snag yet.

Still not convinced. He needs to bump up to 205 and beat some big names and I will gladly say he's the best ever.

X2. Its hard to judge how good he really is just because hes always the bigger fighter. But he is no doubt incredible to watch regardless of size or reach.

flipper5470 · « **Reply #45 on:** July 17, 2012, 08:06:23 PM »

When talking about P4P greats...Matt Hughes never gets a mention...why is that? He was a very well rounded fighter who dominated his division for a time.

Where does Sam "Hands of Stone" Stout fit into these rankings? I rank him quite high on the P4P ranking scale.

Joke? He is a slightly above average fighter.

Taking guys in their prime, here's how I would rank these guys, as P4P best fighters of all-time:

GSP
Fedor
Silva
Aldo
Bones
BJ Penn

Take Bones off that list and you have a decent lineup there.
