Great article. Once again proving GSP is with-out a question the P4P best fighter on the planet.

1. GSP
2. Anderson
3. FEDOR

Yeah.. I did say Fedor is still top 3..

I'm not saying that GSP isn't completely dominating everyone he faces. I'm saying that he has been finished twice and Silva has not. Further, GSP has fought opponents from lower weight classes whereas Silva has faced opponents from above his.

GSP has been finished twice and Anderson has not? Hmm..Anderson has been finished twice, by submission so you're not to familiar with his career. Also how many of Anderson's 4 losses has he redeemed? Zero, while GSP redeemed both of his losses.

GSP lost 9 fights ago while Anderson lost 14 fights ago..Big deal drop it, GSP proves he is the very best so get over it, damn.

Silva refuses rematches to people who are a threat, he dances around like a fucking moron, he will get destroyed by any good wrestler with mediocre striking skills if his little manager mommy lets him. GSP has no weaknesses, his loss against Serra was because of a big shot to the back of the head and he crushes opponents in rematches worse than the first fights.

Come to think of it, Anderson hasn't even fought a good striker until his upcoming fight. GSP fought way harder opponents in a much deeper division.

Why do you pick James Irvin when Silva has a win over a former LHW champ?

He refuses to fight wrestlers, how about Dan Henderson?

And GSP got hit in the back of the head, no he got hit in the temple. He crushes opponents worse in the rematches, ok but going from getting stopped in the first round to winning is definitely a lot more decisive, I'll give you that.

Anderson Silva hasn't fought a good striker? How about Dan Henderson, Rich Franklin, and Forrest Griffin?

Not a single point you made even has a shade of truth to it. If you're going to call someone else out, at least say something with a shred of intelligence.

I truely believe that the only Welterweight that can give GSP problems would be Nick Diaz. Damn I wish Dana could steal Nick like he did Jake Sheilds....

I think he was referring to his UFC career. Trust me, DF knows.

Personally I'd say GSP has faced the higher calibre of opponent. He's cleared out the division and is now doing it again. About the only other person to do this was Fedor in his Pride prime.

As far as Anderson redeeming his losses? Why would he bother? Neither of them are massively relevant fighters in today's title picture (Okami could still be with another win or two). You can't just go around ignoring who the next shot is supposed to be in order to scratch over a loss on your record.

Dude those aren't "strikers". Hendo's a wrestler whose learnt to throw the hook from hell, Franklin's got decent hands but not at an elite level and Forrest is more of an all round brawler. I love all of the aforementioned names but I doubt even they would put themselves into the " elite striker" category.

None of them are on par with the likes of an Alves, a Penn or maybe even a Hardy.

Evidently, READING COMPREHENSION is not your friend....

Now, step back, read the text you went to the trouble of quoting and pick out the key words such as:

going undefeated in title fights and finishing all but 3 of his opponents in his UFC career

Do you get the gest of that or do you need more help????

Now, I will reiterate for the slow: GSP is an amazing fighter and easily the greatest WW of all time. However, the fact that Anderson is undefeated in title defenses and has finished every opponent except Cote (injury), Maia, and Leites trumps a guy who has lost twice in title fights.

I don't see how that's so controversial.

And yes, stepping up to a weight class that is 20 lbs higher impresses me more than fighting a guy who is naturally 15 lbs lighter than you. Especially when you absolutely dominate and finish those 2 fighters in the manner Anderson did.

Well there is barely a difference between Anderson's losses and GSP. Anderson is very close to retiring and those losses happened a long time ago earlier in his career. When do you think those losses appeared with GSP? Early in his career. It is only now that GSP is coming into his prime and he hasnt lost in his prime just like Anderson hasn't.

Just curious- why did you cherry pick just his dominance in the UFC to try to help make your point?
