Can someone give me an argument on how Silva would have beaten Jones?

[DopeAmbitions]

What makes anyone think Silva would have given Jones problems in his prime? Are their still people who think this

 

[Sonny Qc]

I would still Pick Prime Silva

 

[MyEnglishIsPeperoni]

since its a fight, anything could happen.

Jones is hittable, and Silva was a very good counter puncher with respectable power. Of course, Jones is very durable and would likely take Silva down and beat him down on the ground.

 

[ragreynolds]

Jones would wipe the floor with prime Anderson.

...because he was a superman too when on steroids and had much more power in his strikes than Jones has. Plus if he got hold of an arm like Belfort did he may well have broken it.

I'm a big Silva fan, but I don't think he would've beaten Jones. Hell, he would've even had a hard time against GSP. That's why I'm glad those superfights never happened.

He would have stood literally no chance. I don't think for one second ANYONE actually believed Silva stood a chance no matter how much his strongest supporters pretended.

I will make it very clear. There is NOBODY who actually believes Silva would have stood any chance at any point in his career. They can pretend like they do, but they really don't....

If Silva thought he could have beaten Jones, he would have fought him. Since he didn't fight him, I have to assume he thought he wouldn't win, and if Silva didn't think he would win, why should anyone else?

Better striking, better Jiu Jitsu, one of the best take down defence rates in history VS Better wrestling, better game plans, better takedowns.

Could go either way tbh.

You'd have to be retarded to think Silva had any chance whatsoever, but hey, if you can believe in his thai dick pill excuse for testing positive for roids like some of his fans do, anything's possible

I see what you did there...

Yes, he did put up a great fight against Michael Jordan of BJJ in Travis Lutter,

Any fighter stands a chance against any fighter pretty much.

As for how big the chance is, the higher the weight class the more the chance is magnified.

Pre-USADA Silva vs Post USADA Jones

Coin flip in my opinion

 

[Oj21]

Prime silva would win most times. He is good at defending on the ground and although his takedown defense is spotty at times, he's also the greatest striker in ufc history. He was comically good at times, jones has never been comically good where it's just ridiculous.

Is this a perfect subtle ironic post? If so, bravo.

 

[Uncommon Valor]

He'd get taken down and demolished.

I thought jones would have mauled Silva

Silva has a chance if jones wanted to box and strike with him.
