You can tell the scared GSP fans by the fact that they call GSP a small WW and say that Jones is closer in size to Anderson, who is a HUGE MW. All three of those things are false.

Then you are thinking illogically because GSP fought Penn because Penn had called GSP out and gotten the UFC to give him a shot at GSP's title. GSP has always fought everyone that the UFC has named the #1 challenger.Took the words outta my mouth!

But by your own logic, GSP will never surpass Anderson unless he goes up in weight, if he doesn't, his legacy doesn't grow.
Then again, after Anderson's retirement I have a funny feeling GSP will decide it's "the right time" to challenge himself at 185.
GSP has things Anderson doesn't namely time and longevity. He'll have the time to shatter Anderson's records due to his age.
I'd say only about 1/8 of GSP fans actually seem to want to see this fight now. Years ago it was supposedly all Silva's fault this fight was never happening and he was "ducking". Now that it's obvious he's not ducking and he's been looking unstoppable, he's "picking on a smaller fighter" lol. Quite hilarious & sad how people continue to put their obvious twist on the situation.
He may beat his records, but he won't ever be called a better fighter than Anderson unless he proves it.

GSP is the 2nd best fighter of this generation. Thats why Silva wants to fight him.
lol. You admit to having some really dumb words in your mouth.
every champ, EVERY ONE OF THEM, is obligated to fight the guys who make weight in their division and are named the contender by the UFC. Whether that is Joe Riggs dropping all the way down frlom HW to WW or Aldo moving all the way up to WW or BJ moving up to WW. the only way for the champ to not fight them is to give up the belt.
I wonder if GSP had said 'I know BJ made weight at WW but i think he is a small WW and so I refuse to fight him', if you same guys would have supported that. What if BJ had said that about Edgar?
1/8th? Seriously? 12.5%? Good goin' with the numbers. You must have a lot of time on your hands to sort through the posts by GSP fans and then calculate the number that want to see the fight.
'Years ago it was Silva ducking?' I've never read a post stating that. Silva has always wanted the safe fight against the smaller fighter that poses less threat. And against larger fighters he simply picks the best matchup possible for him. A la Roy Jones, Jr.
yeah keep calling out the smaller guy
How about making the fight to challenge himself and test his limits?
That's what great fighters do. They don't sit around deciding what fights are safe, or what's the safest way to make most money. They look to test themselves and push their limits, especially when they've pretty much cleaned out their respective divisions.
