Has there ever been a LHW champ that could trade with prime silva?

Trade performance enhancing drugs?
 
Shogun? Rampage? Wandy? Seriously?? Those guys are all brawlers that throw wild punches in bunches. They were all tailor made to get KTFO by prime Silva.

People seriously forget how godly Silva used to be. His speed, precision, reflexes, pin point accuracy, head movement and ability to eat the hardest of shots seem to have been forgotten over night. The dude ate an H bomb like it was a snack and he purposely let a juiced to the gills bonnar punch him for fun.
 
While not a champ yet, I think Wonderboy and Silva would be a great striking battle.

Was Hendo in his prime when he fought Andy? Because he was 39 also when he fought a younger Silva.

Hendo had proven to be one of the very rare exceptions. He maintained his prime into his late 30's as evidenced by his numerous victories post Anderson.

Those telegraphed looping punches wouldn't have a snowballs chance in hell of landing on Silva.

Prime Chuck would take a punch to deliver a punch, yes he had a habit of standing flat footed in the pocket and trading, back in the day he had the chin to take a few shots. Not saying he'd definitely come out better on those exchanges, but I sure as hell guarantee he wouldn't come out timid like many of Silvas past opponents did during his reign.

Chuck would swing, miss and get tagged. Not tagged and hit back.

the only people besides vitor he did that to were slow mediocre fighters. even patrick cote was hanging in there until his injury. ryo chonan went toe to toe with him and was having great success with leg kicks and then decided to be a movie character and finish him with a flying scissor heel hook. once the secret was out that he only knows how to counter and throw flashy strikes he started getting dropped by chael sonnen.

machida might beat him in a boring fight. prime shogun could have leg kicked him to hell.

Bullshit. He maintained prime just like Silva. Roids. Except Hendo had an exemption.

Silva didn't maintain his prime tho. He peaked in the Okami fight.

No, he did. What evidence do you have that he didn't? He was still winning. Isnt that the evidence you used to claim Hendo was still prime?

Hendo fell off when Trt was no longer exempt and Silva fell off once they started random testing.

You just have to know what you're watching.
