Who can touch this guy?
Anderson Silva has long been regarded as pound-for-pound the best fighter in the WORLD. Every fighter he's pitted against, he dominates. With his supreme level of talent and quickness it almost seems that he "toys" with his opponents (especially during the initial minutes of the first round - his "feeling out" stage), frustrating and taunting them; daring his adversary to take their best shot at him.
He has walked through every competitor in the middleweight division in the UFC, hardly breaking a sweat. He's even tested stepping up a weight class to give himself more of a challenge - only to knockout his light-heavyweight opponent in just over a minute of the first round.
There is no doubt that Anderson Silva is one of the best fighters of our era; but many contend that with the pool of world-class fighters in the UFC, almost anyone can defeat anyone in a matchup. But this Silva guy is completely on a another level. If he ever is to lose, I certainly don't see it happening any time soon.
What do you guys think - is there anyone that can take away Silva's belt, or will he retire as undisputed middleweight champion of the UFC?
