    Sorry to sit on the fence but I think both would be quite interesting.
    How would Chuck deal with Silva's devastatin straight punches, would he change his game plan ect?
    And could GSP take Silva down, how would he strike with him and deal with the extra weight?

    GSP vs Silva by far... gsp is a multidimensional fighter. Liddell isn't. The only thing liddell has over gsp is ko power & a good chin. (and obviously size advantage)

    GSP has the tools to beat Anderson Silva and he is in his prime.
    Liddell is washed up and would get stopped cold in first round

    i wouldnt say liddel has a good chin he has been koed recently a couple times i think his chin is leaving and was always suspect its just he was fighting grapplers not strikers. since hes been fighting guys with decent stand up hes been loosing.

    also chucks ko power is gone i dont see him koing anyone for the rest of his career.

    for proof of his lack of ko power. jardien has a glass chin and got hit a lot in the chuck fight...

    for poof of jardiens glass chin he has 4 loses on his record and 3 are ko's in less than a minute.

    also chuck's fight with wand he landed many a bomb and didnt ko wand and he was comming off of two straight kos. chucks power= gone

    Jardine doesnt have a glass jaw, Evans was hitting him very clearly and Jardine was never hurt. Evans has good power with his hand speed..

    GSP - Silva match is much more intriguing to me.

    As a GSP I'm scared to hell of a Silva fight, but objectively I realize it's FAR more competitive and interesting than Silva-Liddell.
