:rofl:rofl forrest one of the best omg

 

MMA isnt really my sport but i heard dana white say he was one of the best strikers in LHW?

 

Arlovski was actually doing pretty good till his glass chin got hit.


Besides Anderson doesn't train with Roach, he trains with Steven Seagal, 10 times better.

 

that was ****ing 13 years ago, you seriously think he hasn't improved since then

oh and he had another boxing match that he won

 

lol @ forest being one of the best strikers in the ufc

 

Meh an average boxer would tool Anderson, a proper kickboxer would also tool Anderson. The think is that Anderson hasnt faced a top level boxer or kickboxer.

 

patrick cote and vitor belfort has pretty good hand based on their summary

 

He got outboxed by Maia (last two rounds) and Sonnen. Two grapplers with terrible boxing...just saying.

Anderson is very good when he's on his game, I think the above two examples had more to do with his mentality then lack of skill.

 

well at least he isnt bobing his head like this

You don't box the boxer. Maybe Griffy should've added some knees when those punches weren't landing, or even shoot for a takedown.

 

I always laugh at that Rashad gif. What is that man doing.

 

i remember seeing it on sherdog once and it made me laugh really hard and long and it still makes me laugh

 

Anderson holds his own against a average kickboxer, he's a former Chute Boxe fighter and champion. You have seen his striking and finishes in MMA, get real, nobody average is going to tool Anderson Silva in kickboxing.

He would still today hold his hands too low in a boxing match to be effective, but so what.. Having Anderson Silva fight under boxing and kickboxing rules only gives his opponent a shot at winning. If that makes you boxing fans feel any better, keep making threads like this.

We all know Anderson Silva beats the crap outta any boxer, kickboxer, and MMA around his size in a combat sport most similar to a true scrap :good

 

There's also the headbutt and the bite. Too effective counters to a guy trying to wrestle you down.
