Fact is GSP can not stand with Anderson plain an simple. I don't care how good his kicks are, how fast he is, or how good of a striker people think he is. Anderson will knock him out.
Take the knees away from Anderson what does he have, he still has amazing fast accurate punches that seem to find his mark every time he throws them.
Look at what Serra did to GSP, an don't pull that shit GSP just got caught shit either. Anderson is a much better striker who is also much faster then Serra, when Serra his GSP that one time, Anderson would have already hit him 4 or 5 times an with 3 knees and a kick.
You say Anderson isn't great at BJJ or whatever. But what is GSP great at, if anyone says striking i will fall over laughing. His wrestling is good, his take down d is the best weapon he has, his striking is good and his bjj is good.
Anderson has better kicks, punches, knees, elbows, bjj. GSP has a wrestling advantage over Anderson, that is it. Anderson is taller, bigger and stronger.
Yeah gsp takes him down an then does what. Nate M is light years ahead of GSP on the ground an coudlnt do anything to Anderson. Anderson got up and knocked him out.
Anderson will knock out GSP.
GSP looks good against people he can man handle or who he is bigger then. Let him fight someone for once who is bigger and stronger an see what he does then.
Also Anderson gets GSP in the clinch, GSP goes to sleep like Franklin did.
I for one to not think Anderson is p4p the best.
Also Anderson has gotten better since his loss to Chonnan.
Oh this is the part that i found funny, GSP working his magic, what magic would that be. Would that be the magic that allowed him to submit Koscheck who has very little bjj skills. Oh thats right he didn't sub Kos.
Anderson's ground game is alot better then Koscheck.
I normally agree with most of your posts, but this post imo is just way out their.
Anderson does rule the mw division, but GSP can't even rule WW yet he is going to be the MW champion.
GSP is a very good fighter but Anderson is the better fighter, an the smarter fighter.
This is one fight were GSP is the smaller fighter, and is out matched.

Top 3 Strikers in MMA? I don't know about that. Muay Thai credentials or not.
How do you know Anderson has a solid ass chin.. Show me one crazy shot that Anderson took and didn't go down.. you are ASSUMING he has a good chin.
When does Anderson ever get cocky? Is that a serious statement?
He did under train for Matt Serra.. I am not going to even talk about him getting caught because who cares.. He looked small, I thought it and Hughes said it immediately after the post fight. It was clear that GSP was not training for Matt Serra.
Anderson does have good stand up. And that is his only really strong point.
His BJJ is not as amazing as you make it sound. Anderson has been submitted by 2 lesser fighters. He has ONE (3 if you count the 2 submissions via strikes) submission win in his entire career.. over Travis Lutter, who looked like a bag of shit that night (no disrespect intended, believe it or not) and who is not even close to a top fighter. If GSP and Anderson rolled.. 2 out of 3 times, I bet GSP wins. He has good wrestling and good BJJ.
If Anderson wins, it is via TKO.. and that is the only way. GSP is just as fast as Anderson, maybe the smallest fraction slower, but by a hair.
I still see GSP winning, probably in a GnP position, 2nd round.
And don't give me Taller, Bigger, Stronger... quality over quantity (and that isn't a reference to GSP vs. Silva.. that is a general statement about MMA).
We could debate this all year long.. but unless the fight happens, we will never know.
