Now I know I'm going to get hate for this butttt, I don't think he is a "has-been". He lost to Couture, Fedor and Nogueira. Not exactly "unknown fighters". Keep in mind Couture was doing very well when he beat Silvia (beating Gonzaga after that). Then he had a bulls--- KO to Mercer.. I mean really anyone can tell that was a pretty damn lucky punch.
So debate. Why is everyone calling him sucky and stuff?

+1 and he is the only fighter in the history of MMA (correct me if I am wrong) to come in the cage with visible s--- stains on his shorts.

Haha thanks for the clarification. But the dude is talentless and soiled himself.
Not to mention he came into the Ray Mercer fight looking like a registered sex offender.

i always like tim for no reason really he got alot of unwarrented hate in my eyes and i think he is still a threat at HW if he can put togehter some wins
on his feet he can give alot of guys a run for their money (as long as they don;t know how to throw an overhand right
)

Tim Sylvia was good until he won a title. then it all went down hill. He was afraid to lose it so he fought boring fights, he got busted PED's, then after a bunch of uninspiring fights he went to Affliction and offered little to Fedor before ballooning up to 300+ lbs and getting one punched by Ray Mercer.
If that's not a has been, then what is?

Well this thread is the exact opposite of a debate, it's total agreement. As for why, he has lost 3 out of his last 4 and he now only fights amateur level fighters.

Because they are MMA fans.
Because he went from a guy who was interested in knockin the other guy's head off to a guy who was interested in not making any mistakes that may cost him a decision.
His claim to fame is his feud with AA, and you really can't base a legacy off of one fighter.
Because he was Zulu'd
Because he failed steroid tests and yet still never comes into a fight in shape.
Because he lied about his grandma dying on Survivor.
Because he doesn't have a strong background in any discipline to make him seem like a legit fighter, rather than just a big guy who likes to fight.
Because he's 2-4 in his last 6 fights, with his wins being against Vera, who he decisioned in a fight everyone expected to go to a finish, and a grocery bagger
