I'd go with Tank in his prime.

Watching Sylvia fight is about as much fun as watching your nut hairs grow..

Maybe Tim would dance with Tank like he did last night. At least with Tank and Tim you would know that there would be some action.

last nights fight had some action.You can't fault Tim for keeping his distance in the later rounds.He was up on the scorecards and it was a wise move for him to not make a kistake and stay there.I put all the blame on AA.He was behind in the later rounds and could've put forth more of an effort to stop the fight.

Tank was very good for his time, powerful but not really an accurate striker, mma has changed since he was in his prime, tank would not be able to compete with the modern day fighters, even in his prime.

Tank Abbott in his prime would still get outworked.Tank always comes out aggresive this works perfectly for Sylvia.Sylvia would just tage Tank with the jab everytime Tank comes forward.I wouldn't be surprized if Sylvia won the fight by KO in the 1st.Tank would definately have a punchers chance.In Tanks prime he could bench 600 pounds!!!Tank also has a KO out win over the iron jawed Cabbage.
