If Anderson fought Machida's battles...

Would he have beaten Shogun twice, stopped Rashad like the way he did, beaten Rampage, beaten Randy easily etc. you get the point

Are they equal and Machida got it worse cuz he's heavier or is Silva really the GOAT (obviously IMO but I mean is he better than Machida) Phone Post

I think Anderson is actually bigger than Machida. Phone Post

Didn't he lose to Shogun and Rampage?

He only beat Shogun once and didn't officially beat Rampage (He did imo) but to answer your question yes

fhk2 - Didn't he lose to Shogun and Rampage?

Obviously I meant would have Anderson beaten them and got the job done Phone Post

Anderson would beat shogun for sure he would ko randy n rampage at the same time and would put up way more of a fight against jones then machida will saturdy Phone Post

I'm sure meeting Jones has nothing to do with that opinion ;)

 I think Shogun would have a shot at controlling Anderson and roughing him up on the ground.  I really don't see Anderson subbing him.

He's beat everyone but he MIGHT lose to Shogun's GnP but I seriously doubt it.

The Rashad that fought Lyoto thought he was a striker so before anyone says it no he isn't "wrestlefucking" Silva.

Shogun is so overrated. Phone Post

Everyone on that list has a shot at beating Anderson except Couture.

Rampage doesn't have a chance in hell against Silva (weak against MT clinch and couldn't possibly deal with Silva's kicks, accurate punches and speed).

How could u possibly think shogun Is overrated? What an ignorant statement!! Phone Post

 I see Anderson beating all of those guys for sure. Except Machida lost to Shogun twice, while Anderson would have beaten him.

Anderson Silva was absolutely 1005 HELLESS against Chael Sonnen for an entire fight...So we know guys like Rashad, Randy, and Rampage would easily outwrestle, toss, control, and rape Anderson on the ground.


Anderson Silva was also owned and dropped on the feet by Chael Sonnen...so we know Anderson has absoltely no chance on the feet agaisnt Lyoto, Shogun, or Rampage.

Lyoto is without a shadow of a doubt in the MUCH harder weight class fighting much more dangerous opponents...Lyoto jumped at the chance to face Jon Bones Jones...Silva wants ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AT ALL to do w/ Jon Bones...Heck, he doesn't even want to rematch Sonnen...He's too busy being on the hunt for little 170 lb GSP (lol).

Lyoto is doing what everyone KNOWS Anderson will never do.

 lol at the Machida nuthuggers. Right Chael couldn't take Machida down but David Heath, BJ Penn, Rampage Jackson and on could? Jesus if you listen to Machida nuthuggers he has bjj like Roger Gracie, Kicks like Manhoef, takedown defense like King Mo,  and hands like Anderson.



Anderson is the absolute worst match up for Shogun in the universe. A precise striker with laser like accuracy and underrated power? Uh yeah he'd murder him. The only guy out any Ts mentioned who had a chance at beating Anderson is Rashad because of his wrestling but Chael is a better wrestler than Rashad and he failed on more attempts than he completed.



Still at this piont it's pointless to discuss this on message boards. Any of the big time popular fighters like JOnes, Anderson, Gsp and on have so many haters and so many nuthuggers that every thread about them turns in to a competition to see who can slurp the most GOAT dick and who can fighter bash the most.



I mean come on just read Skarhead and Narlys post. Really Skarhead did you just say Rampage and Randy could outwrestle Anderson because Chael did? Right so what's next Brian Stann KOs him because Chael landed a couple good shots standing? Really Narly Rampage can beat Lyoto by clinching and controlling him but the far superior grappler and wrestler Chael can't?

Machida would slaughter Chael Sonnen.
