I like GSP (I’m Cdn., after all), but I just don’t think he has the physical or mental toughness to deal with Anderson. Silva is a GREAT striker; he is going to hit GSP at some point. When that happens, I don’t see GSP being able to take what Silva can dish out.

The fighter at 185 lbs and under who can beat Silva still isn’t out there (sorry, it won’t be Penn either, though I think BJ would be surprisingly competitive for a while because of his fighting intelligence, excellent chin, and his great jiu-jitsu).

BTW, St. Pierre’s manager should learn to keep her mouth shut; typical woman piping off when its somebody else’s ass who has to cash the cheque

The thing about GSP is that he is an incredible athlete; look how much his wrestling improved. If he puts that focus on his standup and striking for the next few months you will see a big jump in his striking skills and then The Spider better be very careful.

gsp vs silva could be as big as fedor and couture, but the b****(manager) needs to shut up, kick serras ass and then move forward, the only guy in gsp’s division who poses a threat is fitch, could gsp handle silvas striking is the big question in that matchup

GSP needs to concentrate on Serra and then cementing his status as #1 Welterweight in the World and all time by taking out Karo and Fitch. Then he can look up to MW and Anderson Silva. However, when he beats Serra and Anderson Silva beats Henderson. UFC and fans will start calling for GSP vs The Spider; as well the money may be to good to pass up. Who will not pay to watch GSP v A Silva?

Not a big deal at all, just slang in calling him Pierre.

I think Karo will get destroyed by Pierre, but he does deserve his shot. Fitch is also up in the air. He has been dominant, but he’s the real test to see how much of a gap there really is in the talent pool.

I agree with Leland on the welterweight division. I don’t think it’s week but there’s very few legit contenders though I have to give Karo and Fitch their due and I want to see them face St. Pierre/Serra.

I think Serra needs this match in April a hell of a lot more than GSP needs a win. His iwn over Hughes was shear domination and another loss to Serra does little to change my mind. On the other hand a loss for Serra could be crushing. He hasn’t fought in a year and his only big win will have been avenged so Serra has a lot to lose and gain in his fight against GSP.
