Pierre, Jones, Silva.

of the three: jones

 

[Cos]

Anderson Silva. Any other response is delusional.

Jones couldn't stop Bonnar and LOST the 3rd round.

Silva finished Bonnar in the first after toying with him.

Big gap there folks.

Who has the best shot of winning a UFC open weight GP?

Anderson Silva, has the lengh as skill to keep the fight standing where he is domainate.

Not Jon Jones because the only reason he wins is because his size and strengh advanages allow him to make mistake that would cost him against fighters who have at least one advantage on him.

Not GSP because he is just to small. He can not out muscle a heavyweight.

Maybe when it comes to striking, but JBJ wrestling > Silva's defensive wrestling. JBJ takes him down and either he hellbows Silva to a TKO victory or Silva pulls off a submission win. Still would go with Jones.

Id say Anderson, but Jones is also an acceptable answer.

I don't think the question was asking who would win between them, but more or less who would fare the best in an open weight tournament against other LHWs and HWs.

GSP and jones are really reliant on their wrestling and personally I think that skill translates the worse out of all of the martial arts when going up in weight. Then when you consider that 1.) anderson has power in his strikes than gsp and jbj and 2.) fights better off his back than the other two it becomes more apparent that anderson may actually do better than the other two against HWs.
