Re: Should silva come back or retire? doc says he can fight 2014
The doctor also said that Anderson has been asking him since day 1 when he will be able to return to training. But his son has also said that he wishes he would retire. I personally think that Anderson will physically be able to compete. I think that mentally he will be able to fight as his mindset seems to be very strong and he understands the risks that are involved in what he does. The more I have thought about it, I think he will get over the fear of the kicks rather quickly. I think the biggest issue will be family. Once he sits down and talks with his family, that may or may not be the deciding factor.
For me, I want to see him come back and fight again. I don't think we have closure with him and Weidman and I STILL think Anderson is the better fighter. I saw Weidman's demeanor change in the 2nd round of the first fight before the KO. I saw the doubt in his takedowns once Anderson stuffed one or two. And of course the second fight was obvious. I think he has nothing to lose if he comes back really but a lot to gain with a win over Weidman. The problem is, how many fights would he be willing to fight? He won't get a rematch and chances are (in my opinion) Weidman won't be champ when Anderson comes back anyway.
I'm behind him....bring it back!
