Prime Izzy vs Prime Anderson Silva?

[RawDawgBob]

Silva all day. Err day.

Izzy edges a close decision. He went easy in that fight against Silva. Silva doesnt cut and bruise easy and his face was a mess so he got hit a lot.

 

[COBRA03]

For me, A. Silva is the the best, most creative striker in MMA history. I don't know for sure, but I doubt any fighter has as many finishes in as many different ways as Spider has. His highlight film is best ever in my opinion. Izzy is great too, but Spider is #1 in my book.

Prime Yoel needed an extra 40 seconds just to make it off the stool for round 3 vs Tim Kennedy of all opponents...

Hey hey hey hey... 35 seconds

Round 2 KO for the Spider. Izzy is not Anderson class!

 

[Wand claude van-damme]

I feel like you have to go Anderson on this one! Spider never got caught in sloppy striking battles like Israel tends to do. Spider that just ate clean shots from Hendo, and made some LHWs look like they weren't even pros was pretty much unbeatable on the feet. The student can't beat the teacher if you're talking prime for prime battles! Come on now

I'd say Prime Anderson beat Izzy and Jan.

Not easy fights at all but I believe he would win anyways.

 

[waldywaldy]

The ghost of Anderson Silva had a competitive fight with Izzy.

Prime Anderson puts Izzy in the Matrix and finishes him. Hell, he'd do the same to Jan.

 

[thewilks]

Prime Izzy gets hit, Prime Anderson does not.

 

[Fergelmince]

Is Izzy also allowed to roid for that fight?

LMAO

 

[ThunderStruck]

Prime Izzy gets hit, Prime Anderson does not.

What? LOLLLLL

 

[ThunderStruck]

LMAO

This is the photoshopped of the picture.

This is the photoshopped of the picture.

And it's funnier to look at. Don't pretend his gyno didn't happen.

 

[chinarice]

Izzy by decision or TKO.

 

[Pastinaca1]

Israel barely beat him past his prime, what do Silva would do to Izzy in his prime years?

 

[ThunderStruck]

Still very dishonnest to post a photoshopped picture. Your point is weak if you need to do that.

I think i'd slightly favor Anderson, since he's a southpaw, which is the stance that caused Israel the most trouble thus far, but it's still very close.

People think Izzy losing against Jan means he's not that good of a striker, forgetting how much fighting a superior grappler can hinder the superior striker to get his game going, which is why Weidman beat Silva and why Khabib could stand with Conor.

Saying Israel is more one dimensional than Silva isn't true either, Silva had better BJJ, but worse defensive wrestling, so in a way they're even.
(Though personally, i'd say Izzy is more well-rounded.)

Even if Israel's TDD is better - which compared with prime Silva I'm not even sure - Anderson' s way superior game off his back, on top and in the clinch definitely makes up for it in terms of well-roundedness

Ya maybe.

nah, it just adds humor to the existing truth. Gyno is caused by very few things and usually ONE very likely thing in professional sports. Nuthuggers will have to learn to cope with that fact. Obviously you have not and that's probably what your yellow card is all about.

Izzy has the better striking pedigree and yet at the same time he generally doesnt look as impressive as Anderson did. I dont think its because hes fighting better opposition either. Vitor and Hendo are at least equal to Bobby, Costa or Kelvin in terms of the danger they presented standing.
