Why can't people admit GSP has holes in his game

He has weaknesses but he is still the best fighter on the planet. All fighters have weaknesses.
 
I was going to both writing a thought out response, then I noticed you like Anderson.

Mad your burger king toting boy ain't all what he's cracked up to be when he fights people who aren't scared of a few dance moves?

lol Jones just fought a striker and couldn't even get it to the ground. He got taken down himself several times.

sure he did. several times in other universe.
GSP lacks ko power and could be better at ground (bjj offence). He is the most well rounded fighter out there.

Hardys Game is Jiu Jitsu, Shields game is Kickboxing, BJ's game is wrestling, Alves game is Jiu Jitsu. Learn something new everyday. His wrestling hesitates people if your referring to the 2 minutes here and there where he outstrikes a striker

guys like fitch / shields / koscheck can't take him down, guys like alves can't outstrike him (and guys like hardy can't do anything). point being he completely nullifies whatever someone tries to use against him.

that's just about the definition of being a versatile fighter. if the advantage is standing for him then he'll jab you to death, if he's better off on the ground then you're going there whether you like it or not.
 
"Why can't people admit GSP has holes in his game"

Which "people" ? Here on sherdog ? LOL
 
Does a perfect fighter exist?

Define "holes" when you say he has "holes" in his game.

Are some parts of his game better than others? Yes, of course. But his way seems to be working quite well.

I think some people have his nuts so far down there throat they can't speak to admit he is far from a perfect fighter. I mean GSP couldn't submit Hardy one of the worst grapplers at 170 in 23 minutes out of a 25 minute fight having him on the ground. He couldn't finish Shields in a striking match when Jake is one of the worst strikers out there and he had him standing the whole 25 minutes.

People listen to much to Joe Rogan saying he has no weaknesses and I have noticed GSP fans are super emotional and don't like to admit he has holes. I mean imagine if Jon Jones fought one of the worst grapplers and had him on the ground for 23 minutes and couldn't finish, Imagine if he fought a horrid striker for 25 minutes standing and couldn't finish. When your a world champion and have the ability to take fighters to there weakest area and cant finish them how do you have no weaknesses. He lost 2 rounds to Shields in a kickboxing fight and he is the #1 p4p. Yeah whatever!!!

Every fighter thats ever fought has holes...

Gsp has holes, not as many as like A. Silva or JDS, but he has holes.
 
Of course GSP has holes, but he has less holes than probably any other fighter. Aldo is in the conversation as well.

he's extremely well rounded. no fighter is perfect but he is as complete a fighter as almost anyone else around.

and if the "holes" in his game were really that big, he wouldn't have been able to win ten straight title fights and counting - -someone would have been able to capitalize on it by now.

This is the correct response IMO. He may not be incredible at BJJ but he's competent enough that he's not getting submitted, and if you leave a limb hanging out he can take it. BJJ aside, he's incredibly well rounded, and if Shields hadn't poked his eyes out that fight would have looked vastly different.

Everyone has holes in their game, Georges just so happen to have very few, and none that anyone's been able to capitalize on. His body may let him down but his skills haven't.

Stopped at nuts down their throat. Grow up.
Responding to just the title, everyone has holes in their game.

He has weaker areas to his game. he is not perfect even if he is one of the most well rounded in the sports history. HIs weaker areas however tend to be still stronger compared to his opponents.


His main weakness (relative to his other skills) is his lack of elite finishing skills. He is just high level in those areas but when you are not elite at this level finishes are hard to come by. His elite areas are his ability to manage distance, transition and bjj and wrestling position and control.

Can you explain because this is hilarious. You just said that his weaker areas tend to still be stronger than his opponents and then you say that his main weakness is his finishing ability. Your saying his ability to finish is stronger than his opponents ahaaaaaaaaaaaa

Please TS educate us on all these glaring holes GSP has that someone can or will take advantage of ?
 
In other news GSP is about to run though the #2 fighter in his weight while Jones just had the fight of his life vs the less proven #2 at 205

his weakness is getting hit hard in the face

Apparently that weakness is not as bad as it is for one of the guys you support.
Diaz hit GSP in the face numerous times and St Pierre still won 50-45.
Anderson got hit in the face by Weidman and went unconscious.
