Silva vs GSP (fight, UFC, difference)

[skel1977]

Who is better? GSP is like superman. Everytime I see him he basically dominates the fight. However Silva is probably the best figher in the world at his weight class. I think we will be seeing this match soon.

this fight wont go well for GSP. Silva will maul him like GSP did to Penn. Just because they are both champs doesnt mean the fight will be good. When skill is eqaul weight makes a big difference. Just lookj at Mir/Lesnar.

I think GSp is way to small,Silva walks around at 220 and he should be fighting at 205 every match,there is no way Silva could dominate 205,give him Jackson,Shogun,Machida,Evans,Griffin,and he will lose,I think Henderson has a good shot at taking Silva at 185,he dominated the first round last time.GSP walks around at 185-190 he is right where he belongs at 170,he would not beat Wanderlia Silva,Henderson and Anderson Silva back to back to back at 185 no way.This is what makes Fedor pound for pound king

Well we shall see how Silva does against Griffin @ UFC 101. I don't think it will be a cakewalk since Forest is a hug LHW and cutes from 235-240.

I really don't think Silva is walking around at 220 when he is fighting at 185... He probably weighs closer to 205 approaching fight time...

GSP(5'10 185) is to Anderson (6'2 205)
What
BJ Penn (5'8" 165) was to GSP (5'10 185)

Too small and IMO shouldn't happen.

but if it does....

Anderson Silva via viscious KO Rd2.

LOL. No way Forrest walks around at 235-240. NO WAY. You are just pulling those numbers out of your you-know-what.

No they definitely did one of those UFC all access things with Forest and he said himself that he cuts down from around 240... Why do you think they are constantly saying how big he is?...

As tercel95 said Forest has said it on tv so I'm not pulling anything out of my *****

Tough call. But the way I see it, if GSP can take Silva down, then GSP can dominate him. The ground is not Silva's strongest level. I had my doubts that he could take down Alves, and he did it with ease, a dozen times!

But unless I miss my guess, GSP is intimidated by Silva. I think I saw fear in his eyes while he discussed the possibility of a match after the Alves fight. And let's face it, a lot of fighting is mental. So Silva COULD take him, no question about it.
