lol i'm not impressed by this performance. he looks pretty bad. but in MMA his hands appear to be MUCH quicker. mma i like him. if he fights Roy Jones Jr. his ass is gonna be TOAST
MAN HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!! U R CRAZY FOR THAT STATEMENT. WHAT DO U KNOW ABOUT VITOR BELFORT IN HIS PRIME?!?!?!?! HE DIDN'T EVEN USED TO KICK AND HIS STAND UP IS BETTER THAN SILVA. U R CRAZY
Silva is a great all around fighter but as a boxer he looks very average to bleow average. He looks very mobile compared to the rest of the MMA guys because he's kickboxer and has boxed. The guy he was fighting in the video looked a good 2 weight divisions below him. I wouldnt be surprised if Silva's oppoent was an MMA fighter too or a setup being that it was his 1st and only boxing fight.
Hahahaha, his punches take three days to hit their target and make margarito look like SRL, complete with some Calslappy thrown in.
First of all that's not his brother and Wanderlei was pre-prime. Second of all Vitor had good hands and good technical skills, but never proved it the way Anderson has against top notch opposition. You're amazed by his explosiveness against bums and don't understand how to analyze fighter's all around abilities. You're a novice. Go play.
Can you imagine what would have happened if the bum he was fighting could actually punch? He would have been out cold.
ANderson's range is more in keeping with that of a kickboxer than a boxer - meaning he stays further out as he is used to defending for incoming kicks. I don't think he would fare well within the rule limitations of boxing against an elite boxer. Thank god the Roy Jones fight never materialized. he would have been embarrassed.
I said the same thing about Roy Jones in both the Glen Johnson and Antonio Tarver fights. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0o0c8fXHp-4&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LchpACY7ZVY&feature=related
Then I am crazy, Belfort was mostly with guys who does nothin but Brawl..sure he blitzed Wandy in those early days but he would have gotten molested prime for prime. Hes got fast hands, very fast..but im sorry Anderson prime for prime is better..even better than Crocop in MMA IMHO
Silva has a bad defence. Every time that that small Cesar bum throw a punch, he landed it. EVERY time.
Not very good. Id pick the current past prime DLH to stop his despite being outweighed by a good amount.
