I don't get it? He carried the division and was an entertaining fighter, a headliner..
 
Timmy is a fucking boss and that's undeniable.

He got busted for roids. Then fought boring as all hell when he regained the title.

Then when he lost the title to Couture, he made excuses.
 
Was there ever a time when Sylvia got respect? He's been roundly abused since the beginning because he's kind of heinous.
 
Hey Tim, how's the roof repair business?
 
I give Tim credit for getting the absolute most out of his athletic potential. The dude was not athletic at all and his best attribute was being big. However he was the champ for a while so respect to him. However he gets made fun of a lot b/c he was goofy and he slide downhill REALLY fast.
 
He wasn't all that special.

Had a few good wins.

Couple of wins over AA, couple of losses to AA.

Wins over Ricco and Vera.

Losses to Handy, Shodo, Murr, and Big Nog.
 
Anyone who has his arm fucking broken by one of the scariest submission grapplers of all time and begs the ref to keep fighting has my respect. But everyone on Sherdog is way tougher and cooler.

He got KO'd in a few short seconds by an old worn out Ray Mercer
 
He had the misfortune of being the UFC HW champ at the same time that Fedor was the PRIDE HW champ.

This was when PRIDE HW division was WAY more stacked and exciting than the UFC HW division.

He was also pretty boring once he got the belt, and had a fairly goofy personality.

History shows he's one of the most accomplished UFC hw champs regardless.
 
I remember when I first saw Tim Sylvia, I thought he was Chuck's retarded younger brother or something. You know the one that grew way too large with all the retard strength but none of the coordination.
 
Always gave the Maine-iac props because well... Maine.
