Personally, I think Overeem would destroy Sylvia as well. That said (and I have never been a fan of Tim's), I think people are way too quick to write off Tim. He has had a good career and defeated some decent fighters. His recent losses have been to Couture, Big Nog and Fedor. No shame in losing to those guys. As for the Ray Mercer fight, he probably just underestimated the guy and got sloppy. I think he would be a good addition to Strikeforce as long as they don't put him right into title contention. He should have to fight a couple of nobodies then maybe Rogers or Bigfoot or Werdum (assuming Fedor beats him) and if he is still wining then let him fight for the title. I think he will lose to whoever has the title but whatever.
I agree about his career being over if he loses to Pudzanowski. I also agree that he was never all that good. The legit opponents that he beat just couldn't deal with his size. That said, the problem of a total lack of talent is still evident in the HW divisions. I really can't think of too many well rounded HWs. Fedor is really the only HW that I can think of who is dangerous in every aspect. He can knock guys out, gnp them, submit them from the bottom or the top. Frank Mir comes close to being well rounded but he has BIG problems with wrestlers. Overeem is close too but I don't know what he is like off his back. Most of the top HWs are still pretty one dimensional.
Is he racist or something?!!...he does not mention Anderson as one of the best at 185. Or is he just jealous of his ability...? And to say that Shogun is the best after he beat Machida is very naive because he could easily get knocked out in his next fight against Rashad or Rampage, no?
He is so stupid man.... They asked him who the best P4P is and he was like "Oh no you gotta go by weight division" then actually carried on naming all the TITLE HOLDERS. Well no shit Timmy, thats what TITLES are for!!
Overeem would straight up molest the "maniac". Tim will never be a title holder ever again. He will never be a top contender or even a threat in whatever weight class he chooses. No wonder he chose to fight in the Moosin organization. His career will follow a path very much like Butterbean's. Circus act fights against "unique" athletes. I just pray he goes injury free. I wanna see a clean ko to his chin just one more time.
Unfortunately for Sylvia nobody really wants to see him fight and why would Overeem one of the top 10 maybe even top 5 guys in the world want to fight him? Syliva is not even top 100.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I bet you would Tim, in an effort to get your ass beat for some coin, like with the Fedor fight. This guy just needs to work on getting fights with legitimate heavyweights again before gunning for the top guys.
What a joke. He is totally looking past Pudzianowski who, depsite his lack of skill and technique, is going to throw Sylvia around like a rag doll and pound the living crap out of him. Sylvia will be lucky to get a fight with anyone once he gets destroyed by Pudzianowski.
I dont know why hes lookin past Pudz like hes nothing, if hes not careful Pudz will break em in half. Who really cares if he wants to fight Overeem? I would like to see it for sure, I would laugh if he proved all of you wrong!!
so would i..........isn't going to happen though realistically, he looks worse each time out, shame to think he was once an undisputed UFC champion, he knows he wont get that fight, he hasn't earned it for one......
He got fat because some A$$HOLE doctor convinced him that getting a spinal fusion was a good idea and he can't do proper conditioning. For those of you who don't know, when you get discs in your spine fused, it just moves the problem. You get some initial relief and then the pain starts right back up. Don't ever let a doctor convince you otherwise.
you people write of tim way to quickly is he the best heavyweight in the world no but he is good if he takes his trianing serously he hould put a beating on pudszki and could at least compete well in strikeforce
There is no point for Overeem to fight Silvia. That would be s step back. He should go for the real big names like Fedor or even Brock. That would be killer fights. Tim is to unimportant right now. He should win a few big fights before he challanges a champion.
Is this guy for real!? he has no place calling out Overeem or any other top ranked HW out there right now, you have to earn them kind of fights and he knows this, he's just making noise because his career is on an unstoppable downward spiral and he still wants the attention he was getting when he was the UFC champ, and god, that was a long time ago, Overeem would destroy Silva inside a round anyway imo, but nobody wants to see that fight, me included........

He hasn't evolved. Overeem would crush him.

Sylvia is a joke now, only good for freakshows, if he loses to that body builder guy his career is over
Ya your right, Im not going to put his picture on my space

that is why Randy said he would fight heavy again beacause at the time
wasnt any tallent and w/ randy at top ppl would train again to fight for the belt
Stephan Struve could beat both fador and overreem

Why is Sylvia always so interested in losing?
TIM SYLIVA SUCKS ASS. BIG FOR NOTHING. ALL THE UFC RE-RUNS THEY SHOW ON SLYVIA, HE ALWAYS ENDS UP LOSING
Sylvia isn't bad, he just wasn't as good as he used to be
yea when there was no top heavyweights in the ufc
Bah, he is just looking for money....
see if u can get a rematch with Ray Mercer
lol @ this thread
Tims interested in any fight someone might watch, he never intends to win anyway.
He is so stupid man.... They asked him who the best P4P is and he was like "Oh no you gotta go by weight division" then actually carried on naming all the TITLE HOLDERS. Well no shit Timmy, thats what TITLES are for!!
That's what TITLES are for? Hmmm, I always just buried my face in em' and tweaked the nipples.
do you guys realy think Overeem wil want to fight this peace of shit?
he is going to lose his fight against Mariusz Pudzianowski !
and thats the end of him .. overeem would never fight him he is going for fedor !

come on man top 99
I'd go top 80, but that's pushing it big time.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I bet you would Tim, in an effort to get your ass beat for some coin, like with the Fedor fight. This guy just needs to work on getting fights with legitimate heavyweights again before gunning for the top guys.
im only nterested in seeing Tim fight one person and that is Bob Sapp.
hmmm..... Or May be even Hong Man Choi ? haha
What a joke. He is totally looking past Pudzianowski who, depsite his lack of skill and technique, is going to throw Sylvia around like a rag doll and pound the living crap out of him. Sylvia will be lucky to get a fight with anyone once he gets destroyed by Pudzianowski.

"Tim Silvia says he would be interested in fighting Overeem" alright how about "we say we're not interested in watching this fight?"
I'm only interesting to watch Tim fight someone shorter and smaller than him and remind me that from Wrestling Maniac
Since he quit the roids... he got FAT and sucks !
timaaaaay
He got fat because some A$$HOLE doctor convinced him that getting a spinal fusion was a good idea and he can't do proper conditioning. For those of you who don't know, when you get discs in your spine fused, it just moves the problem. You get some initial relief and then the pain starts right back up.

LMAO
Not to be mean, but Tim hasn't won anything lately, much less a fight..
He isnt fighting for any company.
Tim has NO Business fioghting against any top ranking fighter from any company...
you people write of tim way to quickly is he the best heavyweight in the world no but he is good if he takes his trianing serously he hould put a beating on pudszki and could at least compete well in strikeforce

you don't want a rematch with Fedor? He will probably lose his next fight anyway. Silvia is a nice guy,but i think its time to hang up the gloves.
