Before Serra made GSP tap to strikes, GSP was a great striker. He was a dynamic striker, with kicks and all that.
There once used to be a time when it was pretty exciting to watch GSP fight other than 50-45ing people. Now, I still remember to this date, how hyped up I was waiting to watch GSP fight Kos, before seeing the rise of blanket GSP appear before my very own eyes.
GSP's striking got pretty bad over the years for whatever reason, especially when he fought Shields, it looked almost at the level of God-Askren.
In my opinion, no one appear to have deteriorated so badly in his striking ability, I'm not talking about chin here, and it's just not getting sloppy that I'm talking about, as people get old some people get sloppy, but I feel like GSP stayed technical but got awful if that makes sense.
But in his prime leading up to Hughes-2, I think GSP was a pretty dynamic striker, but it feels like no one really remember THAT GSP...
I suppose that GSP died when Serra made GSP tap to strikes and at that very moment GSP threw his first rock into the river, the blanket GSP was born and dominated ever since...
