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.

How was that impressive? He layed and prayed a win over a much lesser opponent and didn't even bother with the standup against a fighter that has about 12 years less kickboxing experience.
Do you really think Anderson Silva will ever try and win a decision rather then finishing the fight?
