Will anderson silva do good in the light heavy weight division?

Question

i think a lot of people will be able to beat him

liddell

wanderlei

shogun

jackson

etc

Answer 1

I will depend on his deput. He's already said he's only moving up for one fight to compete with Affliction. If he does stick around I think he'll be a definate competitor. I think he'd take Liddell, Jardine and Wanderlei fairly easy. Jackson and Griffin would fare better against him. I think we'll see him step back down though.

Answer 2

Spider will do great at LHW. He walks around at 215+ anyways, just like GSP he cuts a LOT of weight to fight at his weight class. You can tell how he and GSP usually dwarf their challengers, but he is still a bad *** who could easily be Top 5 in the LHW Division.  I do not know if he would fight Shogun or Machida, so the only person I see taking him in LHW is Jackson  or maybe Forrest.  Whatever his success the fans will win, he is always entertaining to watch--win or lose.

Answer 3

He probably won't do good as he did in middleweight because he's among other world class strikers now.

Jackson and Wanderlei might be able to beat him because Jackson has amazing striking power and Wanderlei is good at everything else.

Chuck might have a problem because Anderson Silva will probably beat him to the punch every time.

Answer 4

I think Silva would do really well. Look how easily he put Dan Henderson away in the 2nd round of their fight. Dan is ranked number 3 right now at 205. Silva has a solid chin and is by far the most techinical fighter mma has to offer.

Answer 5

i wanna know where next door got the info that silva is doing this to compete with affliction, are you kidding me? maybe Dana is but not silva. silva is a grade A athlete, professional and champion, he is doing this to test himself. i mean come on he walked through the middle weight division, who else is their for him to fight? bisping? he'd wipe the floor with him but anywayz. i believe he will walk through LHW,  i don't think u guys understand andersons chin (he took a full right hook from dan henderson and it didn't even phase him) have u ever seen him stumble  get rocked, or get caught with a punch ONCE? and i guarantee you that you will never see someone wail or get the better of Silva in an exhange. he's just too good for that., he spars with noguiera (who is a good boxer) on a regular (keep in mind he is a heavyweight), so he is use to gettin hit by people heavier then him. the only real challenge i see for him in lHW to be quite honest is lyoto, only cus he's so elusive and technical. he's just has to much all around game for the people in lhw
