I say GSP because there is pretty much no one at 155 or 170 to fight. He's beaten the 2 top lightweight champs of his era and he's beaten the best 170 champ of his era. Coupled with dominating every top contender available. Looks like most have said Silva.
I agree. Silva still has some fights at middleweight I think could be competitive such as a rematch with Henderson and a fight with the Maia/Marquart winner. GSP on the other hand has cleared out welterweight and smashed the dominant 155 champ as well. So even though Anderson might be the better pound for pound fighter (a debate in itself) I think GSP is the more dominant at the moment.
Penn, GSP & Silva are all equally dominant in their respective classes, I voted Penn because I like him best, there is no wrong answer choosing any of those 3.
I have to go Silva simply based on title defences. GSP will probably catch up and surpass him in this respect though seeing as Silva wants to retire when his contract is up.
It's pretty close between Silva and GSP, but Silva has been unstoppable in the UFC so I'm going to give him the nod in this one.
Right now ya gotta go with Silva, I think. GSP looks as good as anyone right now..... but Silva hasn't even come remotely close to being threatened since he destroyed a very good fighter in Rich Franklin.
G.S.P. for me, dominates his division in the same fashion as Anderson, but has had to face slightly stronger competition imo
Well, GSP lost to Serra yes, but GSP's competition he dominated is much better in my opinion than the Leites of this world. But that's my opinion and I understand Silva trashed everyone in MW's division but I just feel that WW is more stacked and more talented.
yea i do think 170 is more talented also than 185. If it wasn't for that loss to serra, i think gsp would be considered the most dominant champion right now.
true that is why majority of the fans here says silva is the most dominant champ. Even at 205 he has look very good against irvin and griffin. I hope he does fight couple of more times at 205. I would love to see silva vs rampage at 205.
GSP will actually fight so he'll be open to a loss like Serra but on the flip side he also has more dominating victories. If Silva engaged as much as GSP did then he might have a Serra type loss.
Silva can also bring the fight. His fight with cote was disappointing cuz of the injury but silva had cote in trouble in the 2nd round but he ran out of time. The leites fight was boring but mainly because leites didn't come to fight. He wanted a grappling match. Every time silva lands some punches,leites decides to fall down and make it a bjj match. Other than those 2 fights, silva's fights has been exciting. Franklin-leben-henderson-irvin-griffin etc. Even the lutter fight was pretty good.
He got mounted by Luter and controlled by Hendo in the first round, he came back and won but he was certainly being "threatened" in those fights.
