Tim Slyvia Appreciation Thread:The Fall of arguably the greatest heavy in UFC history

Well said. I agree 100%

 

First thing's first: Tim Sylvia is horrendous. He was horrendous when he was champ, he was horrendous before that, he was horrendous last Saturday, and he will continue to be horrendous for the duration of his life no matter what endeavor he embarks upon. Now that we've gotten that out of the way . . .

That does not mean MMA is bull**** or illegitimate even though Sylvia managed to become champion of MMAs' flagship organization, the UFC. It does mean that Sylvia is bull**** and illegitimate. So you're probably asking yourself, "Well, if Sylvia is bull**** and illegitimate, then how the hell did he become UFC champ?" He became UFC champ much the same way that Wlad Klitschko became heavyweight champ despite being a tin man with a total lack of heart (while Tim is a klutz with a total lack of brains). They both managed to outbig their opponents (which is exactly what Brock Lesnar* has been doing during his tenure in the UFC . . . although he has some skills). To outbig one's opponent you need not be skilled in anything except falling out of your mammie's ass correctly and allowing your pituitary gland to operate. Wlad Klitschko was doing a wonderful job of outbigging his opponents until he ran into Corrie Sanders who happened to be just as big as him. This bout had disastrous results for Klitschko and it showed that he is not good, he is just big. Unfortunately there are very few 6'8" 265 lb. fighters in the UFC which is why Sylvia managed to obtain any W's at all. If all of Sylvia's opponents were as big as he was Sylvia would be 0 and infinity. He does absolutely nothing in an outstanding fashion except take steroids and does everything horrendously down to even walking. The man doesn't even possess coordination.

This outbigging thing has really begun to get out of hand in combat sports today. That 60 lb gap is to wide from 205 to 265 in the UFC. You've got guys who are a natural 215 fighting guys who are cutting weight to make 265. It puts them at a clear and distinct disadvantage that allows for **** like the Sylvia career debacle to occur.

The way I see it, I look at a fighter like this. Given the skill level I've come to expect from this individual, if his opponent was exactly the same size as him who would win? And when you find yourself saying the guy opposite Tim Sylvia in virtually every single case that means Tim Sylvia is a ****in' bum who made a living out of outbigging the opposition. Now that doesn't make him formidable, that just makes him forgettable.

*He would murderlize Sylvia.

 

Pathetic. Sylvia isn't a top 5 HW in MMA history. Nog is #2. Cro Cop is even ahead of Tim. Timmeh was the champion during a horrible era in the UFC. The top dogs were elsewhere. Don't talk about MMA because you obviously know nothing about it. It'd be best if you didn't talk boxing either.

 

yes.. my god what a great UFC fighter. goddamn, what beautiful days i had watching this magnificent UFC heavyweight. an ATG UFC fighter. a UFC fighter for all seasons.

yo, prime tim sylvia vs. prime fedor? i see a tim sylvia win by brutal kayo

48 year old former heavyweight contender ray mercer vs. prime fedor? well ****... ray mercer by ko within 20 seconds. how about within 15 seconds? ha ****... it's possible.

 

If you have half a brain you know Tim was never the greatest.

 

:huh huh? what?

you must be a dumbass.

he also has an ATG ass. let's not forget about his large ass alright? never seen a fighter with such a voluptuous ass. an ATG in my book.

 

Why are you guys feeding this troll?

 

This coming from someone who follows the Trailer Trash Mockery Championship. :rofl

The "sweet science".... that's hardly what I've seen from Zellenoff and company.

 

silva is ok..people get knocked out sometimes..theres no shame..he has knocked alot of guys out too.

 

Tim Sylvia vs Ray Mercer

 

greatest in history? ... nawh

 

Any event that's only been around for 10 years doesn't have a history.

Zuffa has featured hws for less than ten years, and who really cares what is best on one event anyway.

 

For once I agree with you.



Also, just out of interest, is that you Scurla?:hi:

 

yup, proving Arlovski was human was huge..showed just how unpredictable and chaotic MMA can be when 2 opponents of similar skill clash up.
