Sonnen's never fought at Welterweight. In fact, he's fought as high as Light Heavyweight. He currently fights at Middleweight. Hughes had considered moving to Middleweight at one time, so a match could conceivably take place there.
Sonnen wins, were they ever to fight. Hughes has slowed down lately and his takedowns are not what they used to be, while Sonnen is still in his prime. He's bigger, stronger, better at wrestling, and has better striking.

Chael Sonnen never fought as a welterweight, he is too big, so this fight could not happen.
No I wouldn't want to see that fight, and I wouldn't call the winner the "greatest welterweight of all time."
That would be a close fight, however, because both guys have great wrestling ability.
I would love to see the anderson silva rematch with chael,but when chael gets to his very best shape!!
