I made a mistake by using the word "mount" in my first response yesterday, but that doesn't take away the fact that Fedor was getting boxed in the face by Rogers does it? .
Because I have a fighter in my avatar it means I am a fanboy? I had Haye, Jones, Maia and Fedor in my avatars in the last 2 weeks. Fan boys of them all eh? Idiot. :-(
I see, so it's the technique that earns greatness in your book? So if Fedor keeps fighting the way he is and clears out UFC HW and LHW same sloppy way, he's no where near Andersons level. :****off
Yes you'll find for the entirity of the fight both guys were hitting each other in the face. Generally thats what happens during MMA bouts. Any other highlights you'd like to bring to the boards attention?
It does make you a fanboy when you can't seem to accept other people not kissing Fedor's ass!! :roll: , as i said if you've got a problem with my views then DON'T READ THEM!! :hi:.
So any other than his Sylvia/Zulu-like performance cant satisfy you? You realize he got punched literally 6 times in the WHOLE fight and 5 of them was while he was slapping on an armbar. OMG he got outboxed by six effin punches. You know, Fedor IS overrated by the same guys who hate on him. Somehow they expect him to be god. Quite ****ing convenient isn't it? You set your expectations so ridiculously high that it's very easy to hate on him.
Well if it's not about technique why is SRR rated much higher than Marciano? BECAUSE SRR'S skills were on another level to Marciano's and it's the same when you compare Anderson to Fedor IMO, yes Fedor may just clear out the HW division but Silva has already cleared out his weight class and could easily clear out the 205 weight class before long too.
It wasn't just about "six punches" though, he got manhandled on the cage, a jab busted his nose and he was getting beaten up on the ground at one stage, all i said last night was YOU DON'T SEE SILVA struggling like that these days, Silva showed what he was all about against Forrest, i'm confident enough to say you'd never see Fedor embarrass an opponant in that fashion because he simply doesn't have the skills to do it.
Except Fedor has been cleansweaping it out for years sweetheart, against fighters WAY bigger than himself. Your requirements are that of a ballhugger, you might as well say "if you aint got black skin you can't be #1 p4p". Of course Fedor can't be #1 under those conditions. But to be honest I was just having fun arguing with you, I dont give 2 shits about ur opinion. Think what u want.
I can't accept your idiotic points. Because Fedor does not have as pretty stand up as Anderson he is not on a level. . Fedor beats stand up fighters at their own game, and when your on the ground with Fedor his GnP and Submissions are amongst the best in the history of MMA. Oh, you want to talk about somebody raining punches? http://www.mma-core.com/videos/_Anderson_Silva_vs_Travis_Lutter_UFC_67?vid=10001873&tid=100 Watch Lutter here, he was on Anderson raining bombs with Andersons only offence to stick his hands out like the mummy.
LOL it's obvious your argument has completely failed when you have to bring race into the debate!! , one could easily say that Fedor is overrated purely because he is white, but i don't give a **** about that i only comment on the mans skills and imo they aren't on the same level as Anderson's, you act like i'm the only one who thinks that, THERE'S A REASON SHERDOG RATE SILVA HIGHER in the pound for pound rankings, so even though you "don't give a **** about my opinion" it's an opinion that is shared amoungst many others :hi:.
So therefore i was right because fanboys are usually the one's who can't seem to accept other peoples opinions :roll:, i never questioned Fedor's ground game, but the fact is his stand up is not on the same level as Silva's and that's pretty much obvious to none Fedor fanboys, you guys dress him up as if he's the "best at everything" but that's not the reality, Fedor has never faced anyone with the striking skills of Silva, that's a fact, and yes you can pull up the Lutter fight that happened THREE YEARS AGO but like i said before he had double knee surgery before that fight, what's Fedor's excuse?.
If both were naturally at the same weight class why on earth couldn't Silva defeat a prime Cro Crop? i'm starting to wonder if you fanboys have actually SEEN Anderson fight!! :-(.
