Is this the biggest fight of Anderson's MMA career?

That argument is one thing when you are talking about two evenly matched fighters. The normal T/E ratio is 1/1. Chael was 16.9/1. California allows a 4/1 spread. Sonnen was over 4 times the acceptable athletic standards for his fight with Silva.

 

Silva will own the cheating Chael in the rematch..............and to answer the question without doubt the best win on Anderson's resume is the win over Hendo.

 

Nop man, greatness come from beating good opposition. Everybody can have a bad night. That why this fight will have some kind of significance for some people.

In the end he got the W !

 

Ok...yea...so we agree on that ! :huh

I can agree with that, but it's still not the biggest fight in Anderson career IMO.

Nop, Anderson's win over Henderson was for more DOMINANT(maybe this is just a semantic argument to that point ? :huh) than his win over Chael.

If we are saying the same thing....then we are saying the same thing....

Bottom line is that a win over a B class opponent is still a win over a B class opponent even though that guy won 4½ round in a 5 rounder...

It's like saying in a JDS VS Hunt match...JDS win over Hunt would be better win then a Mir win if it was coming from a hail mary punch after being beat down for 4½ round in a 5 rounder... ! :good

....So basically your are arguing just for the sake or arguing ? :huh

 

You brought up my name and Im ''following'' you. Thats ******ed logic

 

I'v always thought Henderson was Andersons best win, the win over chael is probably Andy's most dramatic win... Sonnen is hyped up based on his losing performance to silva. but its understandable, he came very close to winning over one of the best fighters mma has ever produced. Hendersons standing however is based on real long time achievements, he keeps proving his worth as a top fighter, and ATG.

Hendo on paper, should have been the toughest fight in Andersons career according to the experts, but it wasnt. You probably dont remember the hype to that fight but I do. Many were picking Hendo by decision. Anderson already fought and beat sonnen who was doping anyway, so his performance is already tainted. mostly the ones picking sonnen now are hoping he can win against the odds. But if you know anything about sonnens career silva is a very dangerous matchup particularly because of his dangerous guard and the fact that sonnen has little choice but to fight while in it.

 

wins over Leben, Frankin (for the belt), lutter, marquart and rematch with Franklin again. They were all early stoppages. Silva was absolutely dominant! this was Anderson Silva's great run which dominance wise kinda ended with Thales Leites, but really it was his fight with Maia that changed the most peoples position on Silva.

Many were calling silva the P4P best in the world by that time, I think much of it had to do with fedor being recognised by most of the MMA world as the best P4p fighter. I think Dana was the first to declare Silva the true P4P best in the world after his second fight with Rich Franklin. If Mr White was the first to claim that, it was smart on his part to place the spotlight more on his fighter (and ultimately the UFC) and take some shine off of Fedor. I thought it was ridiculous( I remember laughing when I first heard it) to claim Silva over Fedor at that time but thats another matter.

 

Says a lot for his career when you have to ask this question Jackass


Fight Jones you ****ing *****

 

1) This is the most personal and meaningful to him, but not biggest in the MMA world. The Dan Henderson fight was.

2) No Dan Henderson was.

3) Yes.

4) Hit hurts his legacy yes. Doesn't erase all he's done though. And I would still have him as the best fighter ever.

5) It would enhance his legacy.
