Anderson by tko in the first.
Sure Chuck has power but Anderson has a tough ass chin. Anderson is faster, way more Technical, uses knees an kicks in his striking and would just pick him apart until chuck went down.
Anderson would use the 4 D's on Chuck, Duck Dodge and Dip Chucks punches then dissect.

I'm not sure how this fight would work, because nobody really knows how Chuck does against the MT clinch. Overeem did a little MT, but not enough to make a good judgement. The Wand v Chuck fight will give a lot of info on how this fight would look (aside from aggression Wand and Anderson are very similar).
I'd have to go with Anderson though, too fast, too technical, and too many weapons.

Anderson for all the above reasons but here's something very very very important to consider about Anderson Silva...
He's getting better in each fight...
We don't know that we have seen the best Anderson Silva yet....
scary eh?

Chuck's only shot is to get Anderson in the same fashion that he got Bablu, backing up and catching Anderson.
I think Anderson would beat Chuck. Unlike Wandy, who will pressure Anderson and over power him, Chuck is going to try to lure Anderson in, and if Anderson gets Chuck clinched, it could be a lot like Franklin's fights. Anderson is also much faster than Chuck, and even though speed doesn't always matter, it could play its part. Chuck is also just using his hands these days. He threw a turning back side kick to Jardine, but it was pretty poorly attempted (as opposed to the one he did against Belfort).
Chuck's hands vs. Anderson's feet, knees, elbows, and hands...
I have to give the edge to Anderson, but I don't think he would plow through Chuck.
TKO in maybe the 2nd.

Anderson takes it in round two. Chuck's low guard versus Anderson's percision punch and kicks. Not good for Chuck.

chuck at his best would hurt silva...and imo badly...id take the chuck that beat tito the first time of beat randy in there 2nd fight any day over silva...
chuck would circle, angle and wait and catch anderson...and i dont know wat you guys mean by anderson having a strong chin but ive seen him get ktfo and chuck would break his jaw....
anderson would have to engage chuck to hit him and chuck is a great counter puncher when hes on his game...chuck also is alot stronger and bigger...yeah anderson is fast but vitor belfort fast?? no i dont think so and chuck was able to handle vitors speed...also imo overeem is a better pure striker than anderson and chuck dealt with his knees so andersons knees arent jsut going to destroy chuck because you guys say so...
imo chuck would ko silva in the first...it would be a good fight but imo anderson would have to engage with chuck to hit him and thats where its gets bad for silva...as much as chuck hasnt looked great his lat fights,were talking at there best and chuck at his best is one of the most devestating counter punchers in mma...

I can't vote for this one, its just to hard because Chuck has that KO power and Anderson is such a tactician. I just can't.
