Fedor would probably have more tricks, but Silva is as good a striker as Fedor, maybe even quicker. Too bad we'll never see it.

Fedor really isn't that much bigger, but he is definitely more powerful. Given Fedor's superior sub defense, sub offense, and ground-n-pound I don't think the spider would be very effective.

LOL. I guess you think you know more than Anderson himself someone who's actually seen Fedor in person and knows if he's smaller in comparison.

Their weights aren't a big secret, Rodney. There's only 15-20 lbs difference. Go away.

Rodney, silva is taller than fedor. silva's middleweight success is due in large part to his ability to cut weight.
fedor would destroy silva.

Are you guys dumb or just not ready to give up an admit you're wrong.
Let this sink in Anderson has stood by Fedor he's seen him in person I think I'll take his word on whether or not Fedor has a larger frame than he does.
Compared to the word of two door knobs who think they know what they're talking about more than the fighter himself.
Are you two dim bulbs saying Anderson is too stupid to realize if someone is bigger than he is.

Rodney - I have a pair of eyes and I can read numbers ... go hate someplace else.

I agree and since they both walk around at close to the same weight it'd be a good fight to see who's the best pfp fighter. I'll take Fedor

Anderson Silva speaks the trutch. Fedor is the greatest fighter in the planet and all respectful MMA fighters know it.

dont hate me just my thought , he said that kind of quick and im sure he was just bieng nice .that would be some fight ,id take the spider and im sure he would fight him in a minute ,fedor is not invinceable and all it takes is one mistake to get knocked out or choked out ,,silva takes his time unless you press him then he will hit you with everything in the book , he trains with nog, his brother and desantos ,they are all big men so dont take him lightly, nogiera has fought fedor and lost but in his randy cotour fight he looked better than ever ,you never know

fedor completely dominate nog for three fights, on the ground.

how can you bring up Nog vs Couture,Adam, Nog didnt look good Couture just looked worse, if there was a Fedor Silva fight i think Fedor has the advantage everywhere except the clinch but i doubt it would get there, as far as standing id say Silva brings more to the table with kicks, knees, movement etc, but that wouldnt phase Fedor he only needs to land once, and the ground would be close but i think Fedor has that too

actually i think fedor is better in the clinch too. fedor has some of the best switches and reverses in mma.
i'd see fedor breaking silva on the ground and silva giving up.
silvas best fight would be at light heavy weight.

lol um you do realize that most of those top ufc fighters will tell you that Fedor is the top fighter in the world dont you? Watch the baddest man on the plannet doc on fedor on youtube. the fighters on there tell you he is the best, silva says fedor would beat him and gsp had an interveiw that he even said fedor is the best.

Fedors only advantage is that he's 20-30 lbs bigger than the Spider. His ground game is better but standing he's not that technical and Silva would have the advantage ...Silva is a middleweight and Fedor fights 2 classes higher than him ... period. P4P Silva is still a better fighter

fedor is by far the harder puncher, standing or in guard

People really should get off Fredors nuts ... hes a talented fighter but he doesn't fight anyone period. this idea that ok he'd beat these smaller guys so hes the best is ludicrous ....fight the best guys at your weight ... Lesnar , Mir , Carwin , Couture , etc. than you'te P4P ... I dont want to hear who you beat in pride that was 5 years ago
