Anderson Silva to retire next year?

Dude, you got your panties in a bunch.

There's like half a person who thinks RJJ "might" win vs A.Silva. You went all ballistic and ****, started dissing the whole crowd of people based on nothing. RJJ beats Silva in boxing, real argument is how or how fast. Personally I think A.Silva would be able to hang until later rounds. If it came down to it, there's a hundredfold better chance of Silva beating RJJ in boxing ring than RJJ beating Silva in the cage. If you have trouble understanding how, than you need to review just what MMA is and how many ways you can win(which Silva can).

Oh, yea, go to sherdog more often, you'll get the best opinion of 12 year olds there.

 

Just browsing posts in this thread, from what I get here is this cndboxing guy just wants to say all MMA fighters are **** against boxers or something like that. All I have to say is, If a boxer wants to fight an MMA fighter and challenges him to a fight it should be in MMA, if an MMA fighter challenges a boxer it should be in boxing. Or they alternate rounds, MMA rules to boxing rules.

I gaurentee this will never happen so why waste time argueing about it.

 

Well whats the measuring stick?

How he could do in Lumpinee stadium is not relevant in the least, nobody is interested in how good of a Muay Thai fighter he is in a vaccum. He is better than most people he will face in MMA, therefore he has good MT, because he can effectively use MT to effect the outcome of matches.

If being better than most people you will face is good, its good, if being dominant is good, hes average.

 

I don't think one-dimensional is an insult, provided you have the means to use that dimension when you want, and I think I remember you saying that too. Most people see "one-dimensional" as an insult for some reason.

On Lesnar though, its not like he didn't know how to take the back, its that he made a choice not to; he is really good from that side ride position, and theres almost no risk of getting reversed like there is when you take a guys back. He needs to work on working more from there, like GSP did in the second Serra fight. Alot of wrestlers would prefer to just ride out to the side like that to avoid the trickier rolling into guard and reversing the back. Shogun kept trying to do it to Forrest, but Forrest didn't play the game by refusing to always take the back with hooks.
