| Pound for Pound who has the best standup game?
Any thoughts on who has the best standup game pound for pound? Here is a list of a few contenders:
A. Silva
Gomi
Alovski
Tim Silvia(i know what you think but admit that the guy has power)
Fedor(obviously)
Leddell
Vanderlai
Pulva(think a few yrs ago)
Crocop
My pick would be Crocop. This is why so many fear to face him. Fedor will beat you but Crocop will KO you unconscious.

Anderson Silva- he is incredibly precise, has a great chin and has amazing movement

Actually purely for stand up, I would have to say Nishijima as per was WBO cruiserwieght champion. However he does not have any real ground game. Any MMA fighter is going to see on his back he is like a fish out of water. IMO many pro MMA fighters think they have good hands, however under queensbury rules I dont think many would be able to go very deep into any division. Chuck Liddell has some of the best stand up in MMA, as well as Cro Cop however I dont see them lasting long against even mid range Pro Boxers.

Yeah, no MMA fighter would last 1 rd in a boxing ring against boxing pros. Boxing pros would have some chance against MMA fighters in MMA rules because they have a puncher's chance and as long as they don't get grounded they are in their element.

Duane "Bang" Ludwig(155lbs sparring partner for Bas Rutten another contendor for Legendary Striker) would definitly be a option. Duane has held multiple belts(ISKA, K-1), and is entertaining as hell(pulled the Crane Stance from the Karate Kid in a KOTC fight funny as hell  )
