brianp513 · 07-03-2006, 05:22 PM

Ok everybody is comparing these guys. anderson ran threwleben and now anderson is the greatest fighter who ever lived?... well no wrong indeed. Yes anderson is a great fighter no question about that, but he ran threw chris leben and has shown weakness on the ground in previous fights. Well if you guys can think about say november where nate quarry was on his run of things in the ufc can pool... and looked more impressive doing it then say chris leben?

The fact of the matter is everybody said nate would of, should of, could of, won the show. People said nate was better than chris leben. Well nate looked good, and guess who ran threw nate? thats right franklin... it took him more time but he knocked out nate twice in that fight and it was a better knock out than anderson had. I hate MMA math and all this, but once that anderson silva fight happend nobody rem the franklin fight and said that anderson would kill franklin and i bet franklin is training now and all that shit, they both beat guys with really slow stirking and leben does not block any punches and that was his mistake... you cannot possiably say anderson will run threw franklin.

Franklin is not dumb, and he will take it to the ground with no question, and he is stronger than anderson... this is going to be an ongoing debate and i just wanted to silence thoughs who say "anderson gonna kill franklin" why because he beat leben? come on now..

Leben I think is a second rate fighter. He does have some good wins but basically bats 50/50. Franklin/Silva rematch same result more time for anderson for tko

^^Thread is a year old, TS was referring to their first fight... and now we see how much of a nuthugger the TS really is.

I think you skipped over the fact that A Silva ran thru Franklin. Highlight reel. Im a Franklin fan, but he got his ass handed to him in that last one, hasnt looked the same since.

You do realize this thread is a year old and the TS is referring to their fight at UFC 64 where Franklin was crushed, right?

yea he was basically saying "when anderson silva and franklin fight, no way is silva gonna run through franklin" which is exactly what happened lol

great prediction TS

I love those damn ridiculous predictions thread.

Silva already ran through (the word you're looking for is through or thru, not threw. "I threw a baseball into your face." "I drove my car through your living room.") Franklin once so what makes you think he can't do it again?

I do think their 2nd fight will be much longer, but I'm not sure it'll be all that much closer.
