GSP is not in his prime

Don’t disagree.

My issue is the revisionist groupies that bloat his opponents’ prowess, ignore years of ducking Anderson, 7-title straight defenses via play-it-safe, ducking Woodley, cherry-picking Bisping and tossing the MW division into the shitter by immediately self-vacating.
You're the one that is engaging in revisionist history. GSP's title defenses were against the ranked WW's of his era. They were all formidable opponents at the time. You should check out what the rankings were of his title defense opponents at the time he fought them. You claim he "ducked" Anderson. Just think about what you're stating. Anderson was the champ of another, higher weight class. He was under no obligation to fight him. Do you hold every champ to that standard ? Does every champ have to fight the champ of the division above them or they are ducking, or is it just GSP ?
IIRC every one of GSP's haters thought Bisping would beat him, then when GSP won, Bisping was shit.
Personally I think he could still beat Woodley at this time. Perhaps we'll see. Remember that Woodley may have been able to fight GSP had he not lost to Jake Shields. He was also soundly defeated by Rory MacDonald, who at his best, was a junior league version of GSP.
 
Where is GSP better than Woodley? Cardio? That's it. Different eras. Doesnt make Woodley a better WW than GSP. But how the hell does he beat Woodley who is as meticulous in gameplanning as he is?
