you were literally trying to figure out
why Anderson doesn't want the fight.
I've said repeatedly, I don't care
why he doesn't want it. Nobody but Anderson himself is equipped to try to explain why. So I'm going to focus on
what, which is factual, rather than
why. I don't need to worry about what some slackjawed fanboy
thinks, I'll stick with what
actually happened and focus on that.
Does that dumb it down enough for you?

There is a school of thought that when a fighter is scheduled for a fight in which the winner gets a title shot and then such fighter misses the fight due to injury blahblahblah.

Unsurprisingly, you're missing the point.
I'm not trying to argue that Weidman deserves the shot. I'm saying it's shocking that before he was offered a shot, before he even said anything like "give me a shot with Anderson;" soares and others in Anderson's mismanagement team had Chris's name in their mouths. That's surprising. Then what propels that even beyond surprising is when Anderson himself states that he has no intention of fighting him. That, to me, is shocking. That, to me, is an illustration of the impact Weidman has made, and his potential.

I don't know how padded you think Fedor's resume is. Would you say Okami was a padded win? Also, is GSPs resume padded?

I don't think Fedor's resume is padded. I think Georges has beaten better opponents than Silva has, and--until recently--he'd done it without melodramatic diva antics.
The Okami fight was the best win Anderson has had in almost 5 years.
