    1st point, yes in theory it should be discredited but he would have done the same w/o. Lutter took Silva down with ease and mounted him with ease, lets not forget. oh by the way, where is Travis Lutter?


    2nd point, I was just thinking about this. Im a fan of both sport but after last night and the future matchups that unfolded and after the last Bradley/Alxander bomb. I really cant see boxing getting back. And when Pac retires, it possibly dies internationally as well.

    If BJ Penn is dominant in beating Fitch (which is a huge "IF") this may derail things and GSP may push for a 3rd beatdown on BJ in order to avoid gettting his ass kicked by Anderson. Then Anderson can go fight Okami and then the winner of Rua/Jones.

    won't happen.
    biggest factor in GSP beating penn was size.

    still doesn't mean GSP was a better fighter by the way

    well done and i agree.
    but saying chael would have done the same if he wasn't juicing is like saying calzaghe would beat jones.

    i know it's been done to death and i hate coming back to it too...

    chael was a million dollars against silva and more, but the bottom line is you can't credit a 'what if' to a guy who consciously chooses to juice.

    you just can't.
