I'd take Silva. With his footwork and pinpoint striking, I think he'd do what Hendo did to Fedor.

Because that was the result of Henderson's footwork (LOL).
Fedor by TKO

Nope.
Walking around weight and both are primed-I'll take Fedor. A lot of people tend to say Fedor has always been the same and fighters just caught up with him. I don't believe that, at all. Sure, his skills didn't imrpove drastically, but for a HW, dude is still extremely well rounded. The primed Fedor had amazing ring awareness, flawless transitions and just adapted well when put in bad spots. The Fedor we've seen for the past few years only looked to swing for the fences and end it. Where were his takedowns and trips? Just completely different. I think prime Silva would have his way with striking(would never count Fedor out though with his power), would rock Fedor, but Fedor would drag him down and completely wear out Silva there. People forget how dominant Fedor was in Noguira's guard. Granted he didn't have to worry about the striking, but how easy he made it look on the ground against Nog was just stupid. He'd do the same with Silva if both were primed, imo of course.

I'd take a prime Fedor at their walk-around weight. But he wouldn't be able to just stand and trade with Silva like he does now. He'd need to his the ground game and devastating GnP.

Fedor would have ZERO chance against Anderson Silva in any year. His striking power/technique/submissions aren't even close to the same level. I'm not saying Fedor was bad by any means but Silva is just in a league of his own.

How can anyone pick Fedor with straight face?
Fedor and his style would be so easy for Silva to overcome, Silva dodge's faster punchers easily, Fedor couldnt connect ever while standing, he would be forced to take it down, and even in there I think Silva has the advantage. Fedor was good at Heavyweight where the talent level is somewhat low, while Silva is on the top of the mountain skill level in 3 different weightclasses.
So tell me OP, how can you pick Fedor with straight face?

Silva is out of shape at his walk-around weight, so Fedor would be in better shape and have a strength advantage.
Have you ever seen the Nog vs. Fedor fights?

If the fight happened back in Pride at 205lbs, Fedor would take it easily, but in 2010, it might be a different story. Both guys reached their Prime at different times.

Have you seen Anderson lose a fight? (IRONICALLY same could be said for Fedor
)
Obviously Fedor is talented, I don't doubt that, nor do you.
But Fedor would attempt to strike with Anderson, and would pay for it.

It's very possible that he would try, that's why I said he'd need to take it to the ground in my original response.
