Anyone for Diaz vs Silva

I know most of you think that this is nuts but Diaz is a very exciting fighter very well rounded. His bjj is great and if he could stand like he did in the Lawler fight I think he might have a chance.
THOUGHTS???

Probably should specify the Silva also.

I'll guess Anderson..who would lay down a monumental beating on Nick.

I agree TS, I think he'd have a great chance against Jean Silva.

Anderson would ruin him everywhere. Nick Diaz is a stud, but Silva would just have too many advantages over him. The only place he could possibly win would be on the ground. I don't think he could ever get it there. There is too much of a size and strength difference. We've all seen what happens when you clinch with him.

I'm a huge Nick Diaz fan but I don't see this fight being fun to watch. It would probably be very fast and very Franklinesc looking

this would probably be a long shot, you would have to see how nick looked at 185, hes never fought there before. I did hear that he was gonna fight in strikeforce at middleweight or something, but i think it was just a rumor or still in the works.

"Diaz's manager Cesar Gracie said he expects the Stockton, Calif., fighter to compete between 160 and 170 pounds four times in the next five months. He also said there's a possibility that Diaz will move up to middleweight for a fight in Strikeforce, which would make three signed contracts for three promotions at three different weights."

All Anderson would have to do is hit Nick a couple of times and it would be all over, Diaz has a tough ass chin but he would still get KTFO. If it went to the ground, Silva would maul him, he's too big and he was trained by Big Nog in BJJ.
