    He's never fought anybody close to GSP's level.

    Look at his level of comp GSP is not just 1 but many leagues above them, GSP would beat him standing easy and from top control would do big damage with GnP and open cuts or beat him enough for the ref to jump in!

    GSP hasn't fought anybody with as active a guard as Nick. But of course Nick smokes weed and says dumb things so he is hopeless against any top competition. Dan Hardy is a much more worthy competitor.

    BJ would gas and succumb to Diaz's pressure

    I see Diaz trying to bang it out with Daley early. Even with his chin, he'll find it hard to keep his wits about him.

    As soon as Diaz takes Semtex down it's as good as done IMO. But he's not that kinda' fighter, he'll tough it put first. Which against Daley, a genuine K.O puncher, I think that's a very bad idea.

    Diaz is a different cardio machine than of those guys you mention.. BJ will not submit Nick on the ground nor outbox him.. BJ will gas

    I think Diaz has a better chance at stopping GSP than vice versa tbh, Serra showed if you hit the chin of GSP he can be taken out, Diaz has the better chin & hands, he has he stamina to go fast paced vs GSP for 5 rds, GSP`s BJJ is not better than Diaz`s either, continous takedowns mixed with some gnp is the way I see GSP winning here but it goes the distance & I give Diaz a better shot than any other WW in the world at beating GSP.

    No, like he tends to do vs opponents that are tough & fit enough to make him fight 5 rds at a high pace.

    BJ was able to stop those guys, I dont see him stopping Diaz & Diaz gets stronger as the fight goes on, BJ gets weaker.

    The reach & accuracy of Diaz punches would be a nightmare for Penn.

    You clearly seeing something I'm not if you think Diaz has better hands than GSP and Diaz isn't a banger either it's workrate that he uses to finish people! GSP would light him up if he kept it standing!

    If KJ Noons was able to stand with Diaz for 5 rounds, how can you conclude GSP couldn't. GSP his bigger, faster and stronger, has 2 inch reach advantage, can use his kicks and keep anyone worried about takedown attempts. Noons fought horribly and went the distance vs Diaz.

    In my personal opinion, Thiago Alves, Jon Fitch and BJ Penn can all win against Diaz, and fairly easily for the first 2 mentionned. GSP is way ahead.
