Silva is a worldclass Muay Thai practioner those are some of the most grizzled tough fighters in the world I have seen many of Andersen's fights his stand up and even striking with fists only is PFP best in the sport.

Its like saying I saw Lou De Valle knock down Roy Jones so most would dominate Jones in an exchange.
I realise that the gloves in mma are smaller and therefore it is common to see guys rocked. But in this fight against curtis Stout, he was badly rocked by some of Stouts punches, which were very poor.

Oh and by the way:
Silva made his professional boxing debut on August 6, 2005 at the Antonio Balbino Gymnasyum in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. He knocked out his opponent, Julio Cesar De Jesus, in the second round.
