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.

Thats the ONLY part of his standup? Dude I am really refraining myself from calling you an idiot right now, all im going to say is.. if you were actually sitting down with experts of MMA and said that to them they would shoot you without any hesitation
please, for the love of god, and for the love of not making yourself look like a fuckin assclown do some damn research before you post because what you just said couldnt be more wrong, and it makes you look like a douchebag thats just spouting out bullshit.
Why dont you read up on A Silva's Muay Thai background before and his Boxing background, claiming GSP has better punches then A Silva is retarded.. do you know anything about boxing? not making fun of you.. and im not calling you retarded, but your clearly misinformed when it comes to striking and really should read up on it.. it would help your posts cuz buddy, your far off no offense.
Anderson Silva clearly has better punches then GSP, this is a no contest he has won international boxing comps for a fuckin reason, he knows how to keep his distance with his hands, he keeps fighters at the ends of his punches, he throws every punch in the book, hes very accurate, and technically savvy as well.. GSP is not bad with his hands, but he cannot do half the stuff A Silva can.. nor has he ever done half the stuff A Silva can.. if he has please do show me, if you cant show me then dont say it.
Better kicks? its arguable.. GSP has really good kicks, so does Anderson Silva
Better Elbows? based on? Show me some good GSP elbows please, cuz I damn sure can show you Anderson SIlva KNOCKING PEOPLE OUT WITH HIS ELBOWS.. Anderson Silva is one of few, and GSP is not part of that few.. like I said if you can show me some elbows from GSP that are better then what I can show you from A Silva then ill eat crow, but I know for a fact you cant.. so again you are wrong on this as well.
I dont think we need to argue knees, we know who wins that
but who the fuck breaks striking down into kicks, knees, punches, elbows, etc? Someone who needs to be informed about striking no offense.. I can show you boxers who can beat kickboxers, I can show you kickboxers who can beat Muay Thai pracs, I can show you TKD fighters that can beat them all.. you cant break striking down into bits and pieces like that
because there are a lot of fighters who are better with there hands then most fighters are with there entire bodies.. and this is bolded for truth.
Point still remains I can prove to you not only does A Silva have better punches, knees, elbows, and arguably kicks then GSP.. I can prove that despite it being irrelevant, I can also prove relevance.. and that is that A Silva is just a better striker then GSP is because of his entire game, not just the bits and pieces you are trying to break down.
GSP has no head movement, I can show this to you.. you cant show me where GSP does have head movement
I can show you who throws the better combos, I can show you whos more effective with there striking, I can show you the smarter, more technical striker.. you cant show me that unless you show me Anderson Silva, and ill bet my right to post on this forum that you cant. Sorry I had to do this, but it had to be said.
