I'm so glad he got knocked after all that bs dancing around and mocking wideman.
Silva is a joke

I'd say George St. Pierre is running a close race with Silva.

...all I will say is ask the other fighters,and they all say Silva....regardless....there is always some body tougher than you and every body has a bad night sooner or later.Anderson is a ****y sob,but so is Evans,Jones and St Pierre are class acts and bad azz's in my honest opinion

There were lots but you can't put middleweights in the same class with heavies. The middles wouldn't be able to beat most the great heavies. Vanderla silva was a Badass. I just think the early fighters " knuckles fighters" mma was full of straight up tough bad mofos. The gracies were unreal. Too many to list.

I agree with the early fighters Tim,but not at all with your list....did you really put Ortiz in there?Wow!There is no use in arguing ,but I give credit where credit is due and Anderon Silva is one of the best,no way around that.I would really like to see him fight St Pierre now
Matt hughes was just as ****y as Silva too!

Dan Severn. 100-18-7 career
Fedor Emelianko went nearly 10 yrs without a loss
Don Frye, frank shamrock, pat militich, sakuraba, belfort, rutten, aldo, Penn..... List goes on and on. Anderson Silva is. Bad dude no doubt. He wouldn't stand a chance against severn,wanderlei Silva or some of the old school guys. But there is no way to actually answer any of it so guess it don't matter really I just think the old school guys were better than the guys today. Meaner for sure. I know tito was a POS but he had a Hell of a run for a short while. No he isn't in the running for best of all time by no means

Fedor was the man. Jon jones is silva 2.0. Having trained jui jitsu off and on for 12 years, silva is a freak. Wrestling has counter acted the sport. Hard to take a wrestler down to submit or GNP. Roger Gracie is a world class BJJ champ but hasn't transitioned well in MMA. Jacare seems to be the best of the jui jitsu guys but not on grand stage. Back when jui jitsu was so foreign to most fighters it was to late by the time you realized you were in trouble. One of my coaches has fought in the UFC and was on the TUFF show. Silva will be back, got caught showboating

Silva has stated before his show boating is part of his style,gets his opponent to let his guard down......I bet his style changes!It will be interesting,it seems once a long time un defeated fighter gets beat they are never the same.Just like anything mental is a huge factor
Any of these guys are dangerous,anybody that under estimates any opponent will get surprised sooner or later.My buddy TJ did,he went in thinking he had the fight in the bag,and got rocked....lost a huge contract for a simple split second mistake

He's deff a bad azz dude but when you act like that it takes a lot away from him. He has not lost in 6 years but sonnen beat his azz for 4 3/4 rounds then got caught. So yes he is one of the best but jones, Pierre are right up there and obviously wideman is a tough dude. If you are going to be on top have some class

Seriously? All he does anymore is take his opponent down and just lay on top of them go back and watch his last 3 or 4 fights and they are the most boring non eventful fights I like silva but I would have to say he got what he deserved for dancing around instead of fighting guess we will see if it was just luck or if weidmen is really that good in the rematch
