If the fight turns out to be a stand-up war Chuck being heavier has both pros and cons. Yeah, he would have a lot more power then Anderson, but he would also be a lot slower. With Anderson's ultra-precision striking plus a speed advantage over Chuck I could easily see Chuck getting picked apart by Anderson if the fight stayed on the feet. However, if Chuck were to utilize his wrestling skills and take Anderson to the ground then all that extra weight and strength would turn into a huge advantage for Chuck and I could see him either winning a decision or possibly getting a ground and pound TKO win.
