    Better than most. Still, I'd pick Silva by KO.

    yeah right, fat **** Lutter won the first round vs him, but GSP would have no chance?

    Silva never faced a dynamic and explosive wrestler like GSP, with a great arsenal of strike. Hendo is a GREAT wrestler, but dont get his takedown like GSP do at range when he explose. Silva never faced an intelligent fighter like GSP whos great a following a gameplan(well Franklin is pretty intelligent, but I was more reffering that Hendo was stupid in the 2nd round trying to strike with Silva.


    on the other hand
    GSP has never faced someone stronger than him, I think Anderson is stronger than him. GSP has never faced someone with great MT skill like Anderson. GSP has never faced someone who can get up to his feet pretty easily and who's accuracy is deadly.

    Anderson has the advantage, yes, he could be fighting at HW for god sakes.

    If the fight was at 170 and they fought an hour after weigh ins I'd say GSP had a 90% chance of winning. @ 185 I'd give him a 10% chance if that....

    Ok fine. GSP has a small chance of winning a round against him, but zero chance of winning the fight :good

    After BJ Penn wins via flying gogoplata tonight, he's gonna call out Anderson Silva, and he's gonna say Andersons a front runner and a *****...then Andersons gonna strut into the octogan and put his knee thru BJ's Face :lol:

    Obviously Silva would be the favorite but that doesn't mean GSP can't compete with Anderson. 60-40 favoring Silva at least, maybe more like 65-35 Silva, something like that.

    One thing's for certain, we'll know more after tonight. :deal

    That would be another interesting matchup, Silva vs. BJ, just because of BJ's standup being so good. Again, we'll know more after tonight.

    Flying gogoplata?.....I like it.:yep

    And I can definately see him calling out Silva after re-arranging GSP's face. But I think Dana won't let him. He has to stop him somewhere. Otherwise we'll see BJ vs Brock Lesnar.
