Good post.
In my opinion, GSP would've won, although a match between these two is hard to predict accurately for certain, as others have already mentioned.
Silva relied a lot on counter striking and GSP is both one of the most defensively sound and the most intelligent (regarding fight IQ) fighters ever, which makes it highly unlikely that he'd just run into Silva's hands and as guys like Weidman and Sonnen have shown, wrestling can be extremely effective against Anderson Silva and it's really no secret that GSP is one of, if not the best MMA-wrestler ever.
