guida has more heart and better cardio than anyone else imo
he's only like 25 he still has alot of time to improve and will imo.
he beat aurelio, griffin (come on), fought a close fight against the much more experienced din thomas and then we all know how the huerta fight went...
i just think guida needs to work on controlling his opponents a little bit more and needs sharper striking...
i think by doing that he is top 5 easily
outside of sherk, franca, and penn i honestly think he can hang with anybody right now
and honestly i don't know how anyone can think clay is 1-dimensional...he's got good wrestling, grappling, and decent stand up...with work on his standup (as i mentioned earlier) he would be a very well rounded fighter and when you add in his heart, determination, cardio, etc etc, you have a definite top 5 fighter imo.
and really improving his stand up isn't that unrealistic to me as he's only 25
