If Forrest Griffin defeats Anderson Silva, I'll be thrilled.

    I think Forrest has a decent chance to pull it off. He's bigger, stronger and a tough ass guy. Plus, Silva may have lost a step or 2 the last couple of fights taking it easy on the guys. When he goes to step on the gas, he may find out he doesn't have it anymore. Roy Jones comes to mind of a fighter that happened to.

    Forrest's pressure will play right into Silva's hands imo. That's just what Silva likes and he has more than enough power to drop Forrest and if and when that happens Silva will finish him. Bar his last two fights, Silva has shown he is an excellent finisher.

    Why would I say he isn't bigger and stronger than Silva because he lost to Rashad? Makes no sense. It's because he ISN't bigger and stronger. Silva is huge, or at LEAST the same size as Forrest. Watch the weigh ins.

    I misunderstood what you were saying.

    Forrest is NATURALLY the bigger man though. Silva is skinny in comparison to Forrest and his muscularity. When it comes to striking, sure Silva is powerful, but when it comes to locking up I believe Forrest has more power to manouver Silva where he wants him and will get the better of the wrestling.

    I don't know about strength, but he is certainly bigger; Forrest cuts more weight than anybody I can think of to make 205.

    I've heard as high as 250 for Forrest and 225 for Silva. That isn't in the ring, but its when they are in very good shape; say a week or two into training camp.

    Strength is hard to say because there are so many ways to define it, I think Forrest is the stronger guy by most definitions, but Anderson might have better grip strength or seem stronger because he makes great use of leverage.

    How on earth can you have a problem with either one of these guys?

    Oh wait, they aren't Floyd Mayweather, so you don't want to get ****ed in the ass by them like you do him.

    Never mind the question anyway, nobody actually cares what you think. Hopefully you just go back to poisoning the general forum with your craving to be Mayweather's cum dumpster.
