Question for Anderson haters/Weidman fans

Lots of guys on this forum have decided that Weidman is this unstoppable machine and he is the guy to beat Anderson. I think it's just wishful thinking but I don't know the reason for it. Would you guys really prefer a champ who is injury prone? Shoulder injuries have high re-occurrence and apparently this one was pretty serious so I don't see wanting a new champ who might spend a good amount of time sidelined. Plus, it would spoil any chance of Silva fighting Jones or GSP, though I don't think those will happen anyway.


Edit: I'm not saying everyone is either a Silva hater/Weidman fan but the question is for those who are.

It doesnt really matter when or if silva fights him. The guy will undoubtedly hold the MW belt eventually.

He wouldn't beat Silva but say he did somehow then it wouldn't matter about super fights or injuries I'd still want the better fighter holding the belt.

I really want this fight to happen, but if Weidman is so confident on him being the best MW in the world why doesn't he just take another fight, wins easily and puts Dana in a position where he can't say no?
Is he sacred of losing to another top guy and losing his shot at glory?

You answered this yourself - they are Anderson haters/Weidman fans, what do you expect?

No, I don't see the hype behind Weidman. He might do better then most but I see Silva winning. We need to see Silva vs Jones fight.

How many fucking threads can be made on one topic on this board?

I mean, we've got to be close to cracking 200-300 Anderson/Weidman threads by now.

Apparently, everyone on Sherdog has to be either an Anderson hater or a Weidman nuthugger, and everyone seems to think they have some original take on it that requires it's own thread.

Shits getting ridiculous.

Not all Weidman fans are Anderson haters. And you really think we should be worried about him being injured all the time? Please. Weak thread, no points made.
