Will anyone beat Anderson Silva?

Don't get me wrong, I know anyone can be beat, and it will inevitably happen, even to Silva. And Stephan Bonnar is not even in the same class as Silva. But watching him taunt Bonnar, take his best shot, then simply end the fight when he felt like it....is he the best ever? He has my vote.

    I think Dana is trying to set up a fight between Silva and Jon Jones. I'm not a fan of "Bones", and it would make me grin to see Silva front kick Jon's teeth into the 5th row, but I think Silva will lose this fight (if it happens).

    This would be a terrible fight. Jon Jones and Rory McDonald are the only 2 guys I want to see Silva fight, and neither are middleweights.

    Me too!

    Not sure how the weights would be worked out but I think a GSP vs The Spider fight would be an epic event for the sport.

    And, as a fan of both, I am not sure who would win? As a Montrealer, my heart would want GSP to win. But, my brain says that it would probably be Silva.
  • Silva says he has two more fights and then he's going to retire. Or so i read.......

    But supposedly he ducked Weidman, and fought Bonnar instead.

    I think he'll retire undefeated because he won't fight Jon Jones but will gladly fight and likely defeat an undersized GSP.

    GSP isn't even considered big for his own weight class.

    not if he retires first. standing he is awesome but he has looked vulnerable on several occasions. It would just be a matter of time he kept fighting.

    He has my vote just from the fact that he seems to dominate his fights with little effort. I like GSP but wo different weight classes and Jon Jones as well. Silva would have to put on two much weight to fight Jon Jones or Jon Jones would have to drop to much weight. So it appears he is the best in his class and possible of all time. Jon Jones would be second to me then, GSP. All awesome Mixed Martial Artist..
