I guarantee you that if they were to fight Silva would be a 2:1 favorite at least.

Who said there was size difference Silva at 220 would get beat down even faster by Cormier. You think silva has some godly bjj ? Bigfoot knows how to use his size better then silva and he still got owned so you're telling me Cormier is going to get cought in a triangle or throw a spinning elbow ?

Shane Carwin lol. The speed difference on display in such a fight would actually be comical.
Carwin vs Anderson Silva actually has the potential to be even more embarrassing than the Forrest Griffin fight.
Carwin would get taken to school in every aspect of Mixed Martial Arts.

No I'm telling you he wouldn't get close to getting a takedown before getting punched in the face and falling over.

Congrats'-- you are officially clownshoes.

How to make an ass of yourself on an internet forum.
Step 1: Make a terrible counterpoint that is completely wrong and shows nothing but general lack of knowledge on the subject. IE: Anderson would laugh at the idea of fighting HWs.
Step 2: Be called out on how utterly incorrect said statement is. IE. Anderson has stated he wanted to fight HWs multiple times and the only the UFC and White stopped him.
Step 3: Bring up something entirely irrelevant to the point in a futile effort to save face, resort to name calling.
ie. But Anderson never fought those guys so it means nothing! HERPADERPA

This is just what American culture is now. Screaming at people and calling them retards if you disagree with them. Don't blame him, blame the American school system.
Rolfcolpter isn't a bad guy, he has a solid knowledge base and his opinions aren't crazy or anything.
He just doesn't know how to talk to people, which is more of a shame for him than for the rest of us, really.
Imagine going through life like that...

lol classic, you're basing this on what his Forrest performance or how Chael took him down easily in both fights.All talk now SPG but when it comes down to common sense i would put my money on Cain wiping the floor with AS.

Yes, because I've clearly called people retards in this topic...or any other topic for that matter.
I must do it all the time except I don't.
Maybe the American school system would have benefited you and given you the ability to properly read letters.

But I doubt silva has the power to ko cariwn. I mean hell if JDS couldn't do it.
The thing is people are looking at cawing for what they see in the highlight reel KOs however i am looking at what he could be. If he comes in fighting like he normally does then yeah silva will dance around make him look silly. However I am looking at him as a giant NCAA national champion wrestler. I think if he spends a training camp with a focus on wrestling and take downs he could take down silva and finish him.
It would be a different Carwin than we are use to seeing relying on wrestling footwork and power takedowns as opposed to wild power punches to end the fight in dramatic quick ko fashion.

lol No. Not too many guys in that division he could even put up a fight against. Mike Russow would probably even beat him.

That's fair. I just meant, he personifies what is worst about modern American culture. Sorry if it came out wrong.
Plenty of Americans are fine people, despite the horrors of the American school system which relies more on hurr durr patriotic rhetoric over critical thinking skills.
He's the Bill O'Reilly of this place. All he does is call people names if they don't agree with him.
Check his post history.
Which is a shame, because if he could cut that shit out, he would have quite a bit to contribute. But instead he just talks shit constantly.
