The first time Chuck was supposed to fight Silva, he entered the Pride OWGP (2003 I think?), made it to the semis, but lost to Quinton Jackson.

Jackson was the last great puncher that Liddell fought. Randy Couture and Jeremy Horn could throw pretty good, but they didn't have the knockout power Jackson had.. It seems like Liddel never fights anyone in the UFC who can throw a good punch back

Also, most Americans now know Wanderlei Silva as the guy who got knocked out by Vitor Belfort, Mirko Filipovic, and who lost to Tito...

I it's funny that people seem to forget the fact that Crocop was a weight class above Silva, and I doubt Liddell would of been able to last any longer against Crocop.
Vitor Belfort is one of the biggest waste of talent ever, he's pretty much got the power to knock out anyone. If he'd ever get his head out of his ass he'd be back on top in no time. And as far as I'm concerned about Tito, he's just gone down hill while Silva's gone up hill while. Silva's been pride's champion for a while now and tito's been struggling to get back to where he was.. He's gonna need all the luck in the world when he fights Liddell

This latest affair is nothing more than PRIDE posturing to the U.S. fans, trying to steal the spotlight from the UFC, when really the reason the fight hasn't happened is because Cro Cop knocked him out

then there's no excuse why Liddell shouldn't fight Silva in February then.
