This was like 3 years ago and Silva only had 2 fights in the UFC, his KO of Leben and Franklin. At the time i thought Hughes could out grapple him assuming he could take him down and i still think he could have. Now no way in hell, Hughes is not Hughes anymore and Anderson is like a 205er now, no way in hell Matt could beat him now. For Franklin, you know im a huge fan and i still think he could have beat Anderson in their 2nd meeting if he did everything right. Theres a huge skill gap between them though, and back then Franklin was the bigger guy. If they fought again i would have to defer to Silva this time, hes proved that and i cant deny that. As much as i like both Hughes and Franklin, they havent changed their game over these past few years and Silva has increased his boxing skills dramatically plus learned to cut weight UFC style. No way either of them could beat Anderson now..... Kansas, about the Hughes thing? or the Rich Franklin thing?
