    I quoted you because you said that GSPs ground game is so much better than Silva which is you talking out of your ass. Gsps takedown and Takedown defense is better than Silva, but that doesnt make it so much better.

    Make a poll if you want :lol:

    I watched GSP v Sherk yesterday. Totally forgot about that fight. That is another great win as Sherk is very accomplished.

    People often forget that Sherk only lost to elite fighter in their prime.

    Fact. No shame in losing to Hughes, Penn and GSP. He has wins over Karo, Florian etc Sherks a good fighter but the steroids cast a shadow. Still a quality win by GSP.

    Wasn't it a championship fight? They still had two rounds to go, even if Cote had made it out of the third round.

    Anderson Silva.. he is still undefeated in the ufc while GSP was knockout by serra.

    Silva has just look dominating lately-Franklin 2x-marquardt-henderson-lutter .. his last fight vs cote should have never gone to the 3rd rd. He should have finished him early.

    Very close, only reason I have to give it to anderson is that he has gone up in weight.

    On the other hand gsp has beat slightly better guys for longer
    and seems to have more ways to win

    Everybody is ''Koedable''(spelling please or maybe it dont exist), but i'm sticking to the fact that Cote would have lost on UD. He was giving no chance to Silva to complete his combo. Cote didnt want to engage or try to counter. He was doing a fantastic job of always stepping out of range, and change his rythm. I don't buy the crap that Silva was bored and was toying with him. Comon.

    Cote didnt have the plan to win. He had the plan to go to the distance. With his iron chin, he wouldnt have been koed by a single punch. Or knee like he was caught. He was always eating the first strike, and stepping out. It's not my opinion. It's the fact of the fight.

    P4P is a title that changes hands more than any other, its the only title you can lose without actually losing a fight.
    Your only as good p4p as your last fight.... GSP looked more impressive vs BJ than Silva did vs Cote so perhaps GSP can claim to be no2 but since Silva did still beat Cote & beat him without leaving 2nd gear & would beat him 12 days a week & 5 times on a tuesday Im gonna give the edge to Silva, he has never lost in UFC & even tested the waters at LHWT, winning by KO in rd 1.
    A fight between the 2 would be interesting indeed, it might tell us a great deal concerning this no2 spot.
