Condit = Silva.

[SuperLuigi]

We dont use height or reach classes, mass is what matters and silva is more massive than condit. Silva =/= Condit.

Silva is fat? at 185 he is ripped.

Funny how in Anderson threads GSP fans always talk about his height/reach and say weight is a secondary concern but when Carlos is mentioned that means nothing anymore and weight is everything. hmmmm.

Very good point about the height and reach.

Great fighters fight opponents 15 or even 20 pounds heavier than them all the time. Heck, Rumble Johnson at WW was bigger than Anderson Silva anyhow and no one would have bitched about Rumble's size if GSP fought him.

Thankfully Ando has you to rely on (he can rest at peace knowing all is well on Sherdog). I mean, realistically, without you in every thread that mentions Silva....Who else would defend against these debaucheries!? But here you are....You're like Batman, Flythai, but way cooler because you like Anderson Silva so much.

 

[sauser]

flabby?

 

[Out of time 50]

he knows he can't LnP anderson, so he's basically screwed and doesn't have a good shot at beating anderson, that's why he's avoiding the fight.

and good luck trying to jabfest a striker like anderson, that's not gonna happen either. with his 2 main gameplans thrown out the window, that leaves just fighting anderson which gsp does not want to do.

GSP has the better wrestling, the better conditioning, and the better grappling.

They have the same skin tone. An the same accent.

 

[SeattleFightFan]

you know what TS? me and Mike Tyson are the same height and length. i'm actually a bit taller. i'm a WW.

i hope you get the point. somehow i doubt you will

That is my point exactly. Condit is basically Silva, yet nobody complained about size in that fight. I'm a fan of both guys, but to call a fat AS big in the context useful size, is like saying Roy Nelson trumps JDS in size.

GSP is a great fighter but he is just very comfortable in his little bubble he has. That isnt a problem at all. The only problem i have with George right now is he is leading MMA fans on. Just straight up say you dont want the fight if you dont want it. Im tired of all these talks and negotiations for a fight he doesnt want. Its just a big waste of time. And if he publicly states he doesnt want the fight Anderson can move on also. Anderson is probably waiting for the fight because he thinks GSP is still considering it when at this point it is clear he is not

Do you ever have posts which contain substance to them?

 

[FEDORRULEZ]

I see so many complaining about Silva's size and using that as an argument for Georges to not face him. Here's something to think about:

- Condit and Silva are both 6'2.
- They both have a 76-77 inch reach.
- Both have the same bodytype.

Where's the difference? Age.. At Condit's age, Silva was fighting at WW. Now, at 37, it would be too much to ask him to cut all that weight. Another thing you should understand is that he likes his damn burgers alot, and that he isn't walking around at a ripped 220 lbs. Even at 205 he is somewhat flabby.

I'm a fan of both guys, but it's ridiculous to claim Silva has a considerable size advantage. If you count fat as better than muscle, well then Roy Nelson has an unfair advantage over his division. Just to let all you size-fanatics know.

and silva is like jones and jones is like jds ???

WTF is this shit.

i underlined, highlighted, colored and bolded the part where your whole hypothesis fell apart.

dumb or troll. i actually hope you're just a troll. for your sake.

GSP, Silva and Jones all cut a lot of weight, like most other non-HW's. quit trying so hard to prove to yourself something stupid; you're just outdumbing yourself.

 

[kmasonbx]

As an Anderson fan there is no way he and Carlos are the same size. Anderson is definitely thicker than Condit.

You don't get my point either. Basically, Condit and AS are the same. However, whilst Condit is dedicated to training year around and stays in shape (ceveral sources cite this), Silva lets himself go between fights. Add to this that it's harder to cut weight when you get older. But somehow all you nuthuggers seem to think it's just as easy to cut weight no matter what the age.

I'll make another example.. Dan Hendo hasn't gotten alot bigger since his MW days, he just depletes himself too much when cutting because of AGE. It's a relevant factor. The reason I mentioned Condit is because he is the same size as Silva, and just like Silva did at 28, fights at WW.

 

[HaulParris]

TS, do you think that Condit will move up to MW when he's Anderson's age?

 

[R Palhares]

TS, do you think that Condit will move up to MW when he's Anderson's age?

If he's still fighting, there's no doubt in my mind he has to. Not because of any considerable added size, but because cutting weight takes it's toll on the body and you can only do it for so long. If he does everything like Silva, he will have to.

you're outdumbing yourself again.

if you said "25yo Silva == 25yo Condit" i would agree. but it would be nothing more than an irrelevant factoid.

quit trying so hard on the 1 person dumb-off, cuz you're losing.

 

[new kid]

You're wrong,but not totally.The height and reach are almost the same,but Anderson is much stronger and skilled(as far as striking) than Condit,that's what makes this fight so unfair.

Really? Enlighten me, mr. Smartass. You seem so hell bent on being right, I'd like for you to engage in a discussion instead of calling me a dumb-off and saying I'm losing.

i didn't call you a dumb-off, i said you were in a dumb-off. with yourself. and losing.

i've explained it a few times already. so have others. please be a troll - i wouldn't wish this ignorance on anyone. good night.
