I see the new champ bandwagoners are in full force today
Very nice interview though, nice to see him give respect to the top LHWs.

Why would he mention GSP? he was talking about future possible opponents.

I agree about his evaluations of the fighters although i actually think Anderson is so much more than Bruce Lee ever could have been due to the fact he actually is a fighter.
What intrigues me most is his thoughts on the HW division , moving up and how he will do.
I wonder kind of weight he is thinking of going too ?

Silva is a real pro fighter , he is trained is all the effective martial arts and is much bigger.
Anderson Silva would destroy Bruce Lee within 1 or 2 minutes of a fight.

Silva is definitely the more officially and professionally proven fighter, no question about that. But that doesn't necessarily mean he has a deeper understanding of martial arts (although I think that Silva has, at least intuitively, one of the deepest understandings of martial arts of the top pro fighters). Read Lee's writings, even though he did not have the possibility to compete in MMA (because there where no MMA organisations at his time), he describes pretty detailed and accurately what the last 20 years of pro MMA evolution to this day have proven to be working principles in fighting. With his knowledge he was 30-40 years ahead of his time.
Freddie Roach has never been a world champion, but he pretty sure has more knowledge on boxing than any world champion. Greg Jackson is obviously not a that successful fighter himself, but without his understanding of fighting many champs probably would have had quite some trouble to become champ.
Lee's legacy in martial arts is way bigger than him being a fighter at competitions.

I respect Lee , i know he is very intelligent being with a heap of knowledge as for Freddie roach and Greg Jackson but putting it into practice is and always will be the more impressive feat in my eyes.
