Have to go with Wandi. I have the fondest memories of a simpler time in my life, a time where i didnt have to pay rent or internet bills, and i didnt have to attend 2 hour long boring ass lectures or write 12 page essays on **** I couldn't care less about. Yess it was a time filled with bong ripps, cheap beer and sitting on my parents couch watching Wandi tear **** up in pride, with vicious head stops and all his opponent could eat looping punches. Plus his toilet paper commercial and Japanese ravor commercial with Mark Coleman are ten times greater than anything Chuck has accomplished in his life let alone his MMA career (no disrespect to chucky i love the iceman too but those commercials are just to insanley badass)

Chuck was the MAN in the UFC for a long time, always fighting tough guys.  I know WAND was the man too, but he fought less tough competition between the two of them.  I like both, it's hard to compare the two.

thats a hard question but I have to go with Chuck liddell hes the main reason of why I started watching the sport. Even though I have seen wanderlei in some crazy fights and what sticks out in my mind is his battle with Rampage.

Wand vs Page trilogy was sick. Side note does anyone remember all the inconsistent (and presumabley) in correct spellings and pronounceiations they had for Wanderlei Silva in his early years of Pride.

Chucky would have the better list, Wand beat alot of awsome guys to. Either way, love Wand for his style,heart and relentlessness. I guess for me  it comes down to the fact when I first became huge into mma Silva was ******* wrecking people and looking scary as hell when doing it, and then like it didnt even phase him, he'd make ridiculous to the point of geniusness commercials (and no i don't think i am over glorifying them get funnier every time). As a Canadian I would love to see Gsp do a commercial for something other than gatorade. Like if Gsp did a cheesey bad ass microwave commercial, I would probably toss the one that came with my apartment and buy one...probably

Wanderlei was fed some japanese cans, but he also had some very tough fights. Hard to say who had the tougher schedule of opponents.

I became a fan of Chuck Liddell when I first started watching MMA back in '05.  He was just such an exciting fighter to watch.  I wasn't all that aware of fighters like Wanderlei because the only MMA I ever watched for the first couple of years were UFC events on Spike or PPVs.  Before the first season of TUF I wasn't really aware of MMA at all.

Liddell has fought Shogun, Evans, Ortiz, Couture, Overeem, Belfort, Randleman, Jackson,

You Tell me who's résumé is better.

Dunno Beasty, both look like good resumes to me.  Lot of those are losses also.  Of the fights you listed, Silva was 6-5-1 record, Liddell was 7-5 record.

I don't know If Chuck's ever had a really easy opponent at any time in his career. When you look at Chucks wins throughout his whole career: Pele, Monson, Randleman, Mezgar, Bustamante, Suloev, Belfort, Babalu x2, Overeem, Ortiz x2, Couture x2, Horn, and Wanderlei Silva. That is an impressive list. Through his Prime years he lost to Couture, Horn, and Jackson. His worst loss is to Keith Jardine by Split Decision all his other losses even fighting way past his prime are to top flight opponents.

Wanderlei has a good share of notable wins too like: Mezgar, Henderson, Sakuraba x3, Jackson x2, Arona and other Solid guys like Kondo, Nakamura, Jardine and Bisping

I think I liked Silva better as a fighter overall.  But Chuck is equally cool every time I have met him, he's down to bs over a beer and shoot the **** normal style.  I've never met Silva yet.

It was a great fight regardless, but happened a couple years too late to see who was the better of the 2 during their run! I pull for Wand more then Chuck...I always like the more violent fighter and Wand's style was a lot more aggressive then Chucks counter-striking
