Anderson Silva would have lost much more convincingly. Roy's style and natural power would have been ended that fight early if we are talking like 10-12 years ago? Like after Anderson beat Rich Franklin kind of time frame? Roy lost a lot after his wars with Tarver but still had enough to destroy Anderson Silva and Anderson would not have landed many punches.

this is easily marketable to make tens of millions. not hundreds, but both fighters will get a nice fat pay day

Roy's chin is completely gone though. You guys think its worse than Anderson's?

I was mainly curious if you guys thought Anderson has better/worse boxing skills than Conor for going up against a pro boxer.
RJR obviously has power whereas Floyd doesn't seem to have much, so that might have been the difference. Not to mention Silva's always had somewhat of a questionable chin and Conor's seems pretty decent.
Silva's cardio wouldn't have failed him like Conor's did, me thinks. He seems to be much more efficient than Conor and definitely more light on his feet.

The chin wouldn't come into play. I think anyways.

Apart from Chael knocking him down once, I don't recall his chin not holding up, or really being tested admittedly.

That Weidman KO left a lasting impression, but both times AS lost after that were decisions.

Apart from Chael knocking him down once, I don't recall his chin not holding up, or really being tested admittedly. I think he's always had a weak chin just good recovery. Even when Lutter mounted him and landed some G&P, he looked like he went loopy for a sec.

I'll have to rewatch that fight because I don't ever remember silva going loopy. I remember thinking the fight may be stopped due to undefended strikes, but never thought he was in any type of serious trouble. He also let many fighters touch his chin in the past, and until Weidman, I don't think I ever saw him loopy. Chael dropped him, but I think that was also more of catching him off balance.

Another thing to consider is the shot Chris ko'd Anderson with wasn't that hard and Chris has never dropped another opponent in his career besides the Munoz elbow.
Chris rocked Silva in the second fight too. So did Bisping.

If we've got a time machine I love this . . . if we're talking now, in the next 12 months, I hate this. Both chins are completely cracked, both guys have severely lost a step, and it's gonna be Wanderlei vs Liddell all over again -- the monster fantasy fight 2-3 years too late, and mainly serving as a reminder that we couldn't get this done in their primes.
