These were dream fights that were never made Imagine the Franklin thai plumb against two of the most devastating clinchers of all time Anderson would have played it safe against these two, as he did against Murray But these two always have a shot. Wandy's recklessness would possibly play into Silva's hands, but Shogun had so many tools A PRIDE Cro Cop vs Anderson would have been something else
People forget how savage Wand was in his prime. He had pinpoint striking. His combos were super fast. He faced BEASTS. It's a 50/50 fight.
No long time poster on here forgets how devastating Wanderlei was in his prime But Shogun was the better, tougher, more rounded fighter
I don't know about that. I think a good measuring stick was the Arona fights that both men had with him. And the QJ fights. Shogun was more flashy, but his hands weren't as good as Wand's.
