Dos Santos, Edgar (though hes chinny, but he recovers..). Anderson allegedly lost his debut boxing fight and started again under a diff name or something silly. Andersons mma boxing is unrivaled though... I heard freddie roach say once he thought bj penn had the best hands in mma..roach is full of it a lot of times but thats a good compliment.
Nick diaz's sheer stamina would give him success ala many mexican fighters imo.Comment

I agree with those Fighters, talking about complements Haye and Vitali complemented Dos Santos on his BoxingDos Santos, Edgar (though hes chinny, but he recovers..).

Those guys are gritty and mentally tough as nails, something Silva is not. When Damian Maia put his foot on the gas and even tried to throw (finally) Silva looked like ass. In fact, he damn near gassed himself out just by YELLING at Maia. Then there's the fact that he was outstruck by sonnen (some of the worst striking since Jake Shields...who beat GSP's ass with a jab) in their first fight.
Silva wouldn't make it far at all, trust.Comment

Huh? Silva doesn't throw hands.. hardly ever. He does a lot of goofy **** with his body and head but he hardly throws hands. Good kicks and knees, a mix of hands in there as well, but he barely shows any boxing in any of his fights. How you can say it's unrivaled is beyond me. You guys are seriously reaching and don't 'study' Silva enough. There's hardly any boxing in his style.Dos Santos, Edgar (though hes chinny, but he recovers..).

Sergei Kharitonov is a former Asian Games silver medalist and a Russian Championship silver medalist. He had a chance to represent Kazakhstan (I think it was) in the Olympics, but opted to fight in Pride instead. I'd say that him, had he gone the boxing route.
There's footage on youtube of him fighting Robert Helenius in an amateur bout btw. Helenius won, but it was a close fight.Comment
