GSP HAS NEVER MOVED UP....
What does that say...
So if a fighter moves up a few times to challenge themselves, they should automatically be fighting the champion?

Hell BJ even came up to his division...
It seems BJ has more Courage(or arrogance) than both Anderson and GSP. | Penn does have more courage than both Anderson and Georges. No doubt in my mind.

Beat me to it BJ has more courage than most fighters wish they had. Just wish he could shift some of that to his cardio.

a fight with the anderson and gsp makes way more sense than anderson and jones imho anyway. gsp and anderson are the two longest reigning champions in the sport right now and have been number one and two pound for pound for just as long.
after anderson smashes gsp, then i can see the talk about a potential fight w/ bones.
the only thing i hate is this talk about catchweights. if two champions are fighting each other, a belt should be on the line. bj took the risk when he faced gsp the second time for the welterweight title. now gsp has an opportunity to become a double champion. what would he have to lose if his belt isnt on the line? same with anderson and jones.

| Anderson has moved up to fight nobodies. He calls out fighters that he knows will be an easy fight for him. His fights are hand picked. BJ fought to try and beat the best regardless of weight, go watch the Penn v Lyoto fight.
GSP has always had contenders in his division. Like I said before, the only questionable or easy fight hes had since hes been champion is Dan Hardy. People here have always talked about LHW division being the most stacked, I think WW has surpassed it pretty easily with the addition of Shields and Diaz. GSP has said 20+ times that if he moves up in weight he will stay at that weight, moving up and down destroys the body. He has world class fights at WW, why would he move up?
I think its bullshit that people here are talking down to GSP for staying in his weight class. Penn cleared out his division when he fought GSP the 2nd time and GSP only had Alvez left. Anderson has his division cleared out except for Weidman and Jones just beat like 4 former LHW champions in 1 year? The only super fight that makes sense is Jones and Anderson but Anderson is too much of a coward to take that fight.

Ehhh I'm not as hyped for this fight as a couple of years ago. When I first got into MMA I would've jumped at the the slightest possibility of this clash. Now I could care less. And comments like Silva's only compound my apathy.

| And yet Anderson is a coward for not moving up to fight Jones? And clearing out the division can't be applied as is today because GSP has been out so long. The division had been pretty much destroyed when he got hurt....I mean Hardy got a title shot for goodness sake.
I also like the fact that Anderson is a "coward" for not moving UP to fight the LHW champ but Jones is not a coward for ALSO saying he wouldn't fight the LOWER weight class Anderson. If this super fight happens before Anderson is 45 years old, then Jones gets all of his holes exposed and we will have to move on to the next big thing that will supposedly take Silva from the podium...

Forrest had no chance against Anderson which is why he took the fight. Quote:

| Anderson has already had several fights above his weight while GSP has stayed put. There is a difference. Anderson constantly ducks fights and calls out shitty fighters he knows he can beat, thats why he is a coward. Its not just from 1 or 2 instances and its not just because he won't fight Jones. I have no idea why Jones won't fight Anderson but he should.

I love how love-blind Anderson fans are constantly trying to apply comparisons that just don't work.
Nobody is talking superfights but Anderson. He brings the scrutiny on himself as a result. He's the one not fighting contenders in his weight class, he's the one admitting that he wants the smaller fighter.
That's why he's getting criticized and nobody else is.
