    Anderson Silva is the MMA GOAT and the only one who could have been successful if he pursued boxing from an early age instead, however, Jake will likely chin him in his advanced age.

      I'm not sure either of these things are true....

        Huh!? BOTH are true. Do 30 mins of research on silva and UFC and you’ll see.

          Not really

          Him being the GOAT is arguable. The main two fighters I see mentioned as MMA GOATs the most are GSP and Joe Jones. Maybe Fedor Emalianenko too.

          As for Silva being a successful boxer, that's even less likely. He was 1-1 before 2021 (and lost his first pro fight in round 1 to a bum).

            Jones and GSP fought better competition. Fedor went unbeaten for longer and did it while at a size disadvantage a lot of the time. Anderson is no4 for me, but theres no real consensus on who the GOAT is.

            As for the boxing thing, i'm not arguing with the possibility that he would have succeeded in boxing, i'm saying that hes obviously not the ONLY person to ever enter MMA who even had the latent potential to do it. Combat sports have tiny talent pools, its not rocket science, lots of fighters in various disciplines could have succeeded in others if they'd trained that instead.

                Such a fight legend I'll admit you expect them to beat the Jakes of this world if experience really counts for anything.
                But if Silva is far gone then sadly Silva can lose

                    If you think Anderson silva isn’t GOAT then I aren’t gonna waste my time. You can’t fix Dead or ****** unfortunately.
