    Wow. You have your own opinion and I respect that, but I think Henderson, Marquartd, Cote, Leites and even Franklin are still good fighter in peoples eyes. Wtf dude. Like GSP would be finish because he would get beat by TKO, in your eyes. No ****in sense, and GSP lost to SErra, it only made him stronger mentally.
    Stop talking out of your ass like you know the guy personally. GSP isnt even ashamed that he lost to a C level fighter in Serra, it made him grow.

    I totally agree with that. GSP is an absolute warrior, he's taken that loss and he's grown from it. He's fought the best around, and he's beaten them all. He definitely should NOT step up to try and take on the best LHW in the world at MW. If anything, Anderson is the coward for shredding so much and beating on far naturally smaller opposition - and that's essentialy what stops Anderson from being recognised as the P4P best fighter on the planet

    you might be the dumbest person on your block. silva has a great record. so rich franklin is smaller in statue than silva? silva is a tall skinny guy thats just his build.

    penn wants to challenge the best but doesn't like to train. gsp loves to train but doesn't challenge himself by moving up in weight.

    Come on man, he doesn't have to. He's got a great thing going at 170 right now and can soon be considered the greatest welterweight surpassing of Matt Hughes. GSP right now is dominating his weight class. He's cleaning it out. He's not moving up in weight, he's not moving down in weight, he's not fighting someone at a catch weight, he's the king of his domain right now. He should stay that way. Me being a GSP fan, I wanna see him make several defenses of his title and win them all.

    Silva would murder GSP, but the size gap between those two is bigger than between GSP and Penn. BJ was out of shape in the last fight with Georges, if he got the chance to redeem himself he would whip himself into amazing shape and be more motivated than ever. That one would be a serious fight, and far closer than most people think.

    I would like to see faber fight in the ufc. Penn vs Faber would be a nice fight. Faber is pretty strong and has all around skills. I still think bj would whoop his ass but i would still pay to see this fight.

    As far as GSP is concern, i wouldn't mind seeing them fight again.

    See that's the difference between penn and gsp. Penn loves to challenge himself even against a much bigger opponent like that beast machida. GSP has pretty much cleaned up his division. Alves and fitch i thought would have been his biggest challenge but he dominated them both. Why not test himself against the middleweights? Do you really want to see GSP fight Swick or Kampman? I like to see gsp fight @ 185 and he doesn't have to fight silva right away. Test himself against bisping or leben-belcher-kang or whoever just to see test himself.

    Anderson and Bj has both fought outside their weight class so GSP should at least try. GSP vs Leben is a good test for him.

    Leben- And what would be the point of GSP fighting Leben? He's a steroid using no talent bum who can't win a fight to save his life. Leben is garbage. No talent, slow, not athletic. Infact, when Boxing fans bull**** themselves by saying MMA guys can't throw a straight punch, they're probably watching a Leben fight. He totally sucks.

    Bisping- Got stretched against Dan and if Dana put Bisping(who can't punch through a paper bag) in the cage with GSP would just show that they're trying to get the Brit manhandled on a GSP poster.

    Kang- His best days might be behind him. I doubt he can hang with GSP.

    Belcher- Is undeserving of a big fight just like Leben is and he just lost to Akiyama. No way he's in potential to fight the best welterweight in the world.

    Swick- Atleast is marketable and actually stands a chance to put up a better fight than anyone you just mentioned for GSP to test himself against at 185.

    Kampman- Didn't he just lose to Daley recently?:huh He's not getting any title shots anytime nowhere soon. I'd rather see Swick, Davis, Daley, & Hardy fight GSP over that guy.

    GSP is just testing himself at 185 so i put those names out. He doesn't have to fight the best right away. I don't think he beats them all like your making it sound. I think bisping can give him a good fight. He got KO by Dan Henderson who has fought at 205 and higher. We're talking about gsp here. He doesn't have the power to hurt bisping like henderson did.

    As far as belcher and leben is concern, it's a test for gsp to see if he can handle 185lbs fighter. Silva didn't go up t 205 and just fought the best right away. He fought james irvin first. GSP could do the same, fight a journeyman first then fight a contender next.

    Come on Vitor, I read alot of your posts on the Boxing & MMA forums and you're a good poster, plus obviously you're a Pac fan like me:thumbsup

    You're really saying GSP wouldn't destroy Bisping?

    Silva will likely beat GSP but he most certainly wouldnt make him look foolish. GSP can give Silva a better fight than 99% of the MW's and a large majority of LHW's.

    And Silva is great but lets not get carried away. Its not like Silva walked in there and ruined Leites, Cote and others. And he certainly wouldnt do that against GSP.

    Well thats absurd.

    Who in their right mind wants to see him destroy C level fighters like Mike Swick?

    GSP is already the best WW in MMA history. Hes done everything he could at WW, its now time to start taking some catchweight super fights or moving up.
