Let's be honnest, GSP would have ragdolled Anderson Silva

Considering how easy Weidman, Chael and Cormier made it look, I had assumed even before those fights that GSP would have wrestlefucked him for an easy 50-45.

I much preferred watching Silva over GSP but GSP had the right style to beat him. It's a big reason why I don't respect GSP as much as others because he never wanted to challenge himself like a Volk, Izzy, Anderson, Jones or Cormier by moving up and proving their greatness. He was absolutely terrified of Anderson. I saw in one interview that he said he would be risking permanent injury or death because of the size difference. What a nerd.
 
We'll never know.

GSP was really good at executing a game plan. Silva was really good at hitting you from an angle you never saw coming. GSP showed he could be knocked out.

That's why it sucks we never saw it.

GSP didnt want to stand with Condit, BJ, Hendricks or Serra who all of them had him badly hurt or KOed.
GSP had trouble dealing with Bisping's elbows in his guard let alone mount any offense, Condit gave him trouble too. Silva is harder to deal with down there than both and much more likely to catch him standing.
No odd would remotely support your "easy 50-45" delusional take dude get a grip.

GSP himself was very aware of his chances reason why he refused the legacy and financial boost of becoming two division champ. An opportunity offered to him and denied to Aldo back in the day. GSP refused, for very long time, end of story

Didn't Chael say GSP ragdolled the fook out of him in practice?

Think about it logically. If GSP was a scaredy pussy and ducked Anderson in his prime, surely he would have no problems wrecking him when Anderson was way past prime.

Nah. He fought bisping with 1 eye after ducking Silva his whole career. Tapped to strikes. Goat but leaves room for Jones say he wins 3 HW fights
 
no. anderson has a better, faster and longer jab than gsp. georges does alot of his work off his jab and leg kicks. i just cant see a scenario where his nose isnt all busted up or him not getting dropped bad. the power silva had with his speed was a nightmare for gsps durability imo. silva was folding more durable and larger people with all sorts of strikes
 
Not injured Silva easily stuffed all of Chaels TD’s on the 2nd fight from the 2nd round and Chael is a much better and mire relentless fighter than GSP. Also stuffed Weidmabs TD’s. Silva wouldve pieced him up and toyed with him on the feet.
 
about 12 years too late, but yes GSP should have went and challenged himself when they both existed in the same time and space in their primes. instead, he keeps himself at 170 and gets pieced up by hendricks of all people. his move up to MW was just marketing. of course he could beat bisping. GSP should have challenged himself when he could have. Even if he lost, it's better he lost to Silva than Johnny fucking Hendricks. This is why Jones > GSP. Jones had the audacity to challenge himself and came out on top.
