I don't know about that.
I would say GSP has better kicks, punches, and elbows. Silva's great in the clinch, and delivering knees, but that's about the only part of his standup that stands out to me. I'd say they are about equal in accuracy and efficiency.
Don't underestimate GSP's new direction and focus he is getting from training with Jackson. We've only seen 1 fight since that change, and what I saw, I was very impressed with. He came in and took care of business very effectively. He had a great game plan, and he executed it extremely well.
Also, GSP is a very big WW - I think he would fill out at 185 rather well, and would be bigger and much stronger than Silva. I'd even say that at 185, GSP would be bigger and stronger than Franklin, yet GSP is much more skilled.
