    For the record, Sanchez nearly killed Guida.

    I'm not a person who thinks GSP dominates guys with strength and no skill, not at all. I'm not even 100% saying Penn is more skilled then GSP. All I'm saying, in a "P4P Argument", the facts cannot be ignored that GSP seems to lack finishing ability against opponents his own size. His finishes against Hughes were awesome, 2 of my favorite fights of all time. But I was very concerned that in like 3 attempts to take Hardy's back, he was caught up too high....that shows a deficiency in his game, one that I don't see in BJ. My point is this, for P4P, his wins over Penn/Serra/Sherk while are great for his legacy, should not hold much weight (no pun intended) in a P4P argument because he is naturally bigger then those guys.

    Maybe Serra isn't a "natural LW" anymore, I mis-posted my bad, but he was prime at LW. He was never really a "great" fighter but he was very good, and he was best at LW. :deal

    I think Penn is a great win for GSP's resume even if he is a LW right now. He did beat a prime Hughes. Thats mean a lot for me.

    That's not right.
    GSP dominated as much Hughes 2, Hughes 3, Penn 2, Fitch, Sherk, Serra 2
