The ww division isn't cleaned out by any means, there are still some great fights for GSP but I also don't think any of the guys you mentioned really stands a good chance against him except maybe Fitch. If he beats Fitch there is Alves and a maybe a couple other guys but nobody else really stands out imo.
Well, again, people might be taking Penn's comments out of context...if he's asked how he feels about the Sherk steroid scandal, he's going to be honest...much the same way GSP [as well as other fighters ] was honest in multiple comments that his fans excused as "just answering questions." Certainly, BJ made pointed and abrasive comments, but it's not like he called a press conference to make them...he's asked for an interview, and he answered questions in the interview. Those quotes are then rearranged for maximum impact by the interviewer.

I would love to hear someone laugh off shit talking and just say they don't want to get involved in it. But that's not the way the hype machine works.

We'll have to agree to disagree about nobody else having a chance against GSP.
