Who's the P4P best fighter in the world?

Posssibly because they have no TD defense. If you scale up BJs legendary take down d..It'll take king kong to take him down. and then it gets interesting, he's got dynamite power in both hands, he'd be a ****in Ernie Shavers if he were a HW, if he touches you, goodnight!

 

Now thats slight nuthuggery my man. Assuming he is as relitivly good vs heavyweights as he is vs lightweights.

He aint puting lightweights to sleep by touching them. So suggesting a scaled up version would doesn't stack up. Also Fedors TD's from the clinch are better than GSPs imo. He has better hip throws which would be the way to takedown a guy like Penn.

Also at having a discusion about Fedor vs a HW Penn theoretical or what.

 

what? If Penn who is known to have heavy hands at LW and assuming that his power grew in proportion to his size, He would be devastating. You have to remember that chins dont get sturdier for HWs, more power , same chin. I'm simply saying that its not out of realm that BJ as a HW hits as hard as Ray Mercer. If anyone gets hit by Mercer and I dont care if its Fedor, its lights out.

Of course these are hypothetical, but imagine a 185 or 205 fighter with BJ's flexibility, thats a unique aspect that he brings

 

Anderson..

"The Spider"..

Silva!!!

 

Whats up Bula? Theres just something about Anderson (and Machida) you cant pinpoint it. Its akin to someone labeling boxing as the Sweet science. They practice it. They seem to be ahead of the curve and at the forefront of MMAs evolution. You just cant make these guys look bad anymore, besides the obvious skill gap, they're tactically head and shoulders above everyone else.

With Anderson, his standup is so devastating he toyed with Lee Murrray 5 ****in years ago! I mean what level is his stand up now God, I guess he showed a glimpse against Griffin.

As for his groundgame, you know hes honing it non stop. When you look at the beffudled face of Leites, who couldnt do **** against Silva on the ground, thats scary

 

Boss Chimba! Vacation kami North Jersey/NYC since early this month.
U r right, NYC is beautiful.

I think Machida and Silva picked up what's effective in the striking techniques of muay thai/boxing/karate, and what's great about ground skills in wrestling/grappling/jiu jitsu, and the way theyre fighting now, it's what MMA is supposed to be, at its highest level.

The pin point accuracy, the efficiency of correct striking techniques, and keeping great distance/defense of top level striking, and the technical skills of the ground game, the two of them do it the best.

 

O diba sabi ko sa iyo about NYC. Its one of those places who leaves a mark. And now you can imagine NYC in its Golden years, xmas time, central park and all. You should have pmed me I would have told you the non touristy gems

I agree totally with Silva and MAchida, they're just never out of position. If you watch the Leites fight with Silva on half guard, he just knows what to do and is so calm against an elite JJ guy and snap! hes back on full guard with a body triangle. He's thinking out there. Machida I think may be even more special although not as spectacular just because of his strength and/or an uncanny ability to find an opponents weak lines. I mean he just throws people with ease.

GSP is the closest to approach this level as far as fight strategies and tactics.(thanks in large to Jackson).

 

bula WTF. I was in NYC twice this month. :twisted:

 

Pretty Boy Flooooyyyydddddd Money Maaaaaaaayyyyywweeeaaaaattthhhheeerrrr

 

I consider GSP heavily muscled at 170. Silva and Penn are not really that muscled at their weight. I'm not sure if he could comfortably add anymore weight.

Fedor isn't really muscled so he'd lose fat and dominate. He could get to 212 and dry out like the others.

 

fits is a big word. i saw a skill battle with fedor pulling off crazy **** en route to victory.

 

I understand people disagree but he is atrocious. Good power though. If his haymakers land you are ****ed.

 

yeah cheating. he grabbed the ropes to avoid a huge take down and dominant position.

 

I do.

 

P4P ability wise, I think Penn wins I think Penn is #1. He just can't be #1 because he is inactive and has taken more chances with competition then the others. but if we judge it on "what each guy is capable in their best hour" then Penn can't be denied the crown.
