GSP will become the greatest fighter in MMA history.
GSP has everything to propel him into supreme greatness. He's intelligent, humble, hard-working, disciplined, extremely athletic, physically strong with a warrior spirit and the most important thing that holds everything together, Talent.
He started his career as a young inexperienced fighter, but he quickly started to adapt and evolve to keep up with the game. He developed superior mma wrestling, his bread and butter, but he has great striking, great ground game, what can i say hes the most well-rounded mma fighter out there.
He wants to improve , even at the level hes at, his over-all game. There are a lot of great fighters out there who are considered the best, but they have evolved to their ability. GSP is not done yet, and the shocking thing is that he will actually become stronger and even more well-rounded as time goes on and his body matures.
He will defintely , without any doubt, will compete at MW, then eventually LHW. I know I know, I am crazy for thinking that, LHW?, but he can do it, if he wants. Hes in no rush to achieve his goals, he will take his time do it deliberately, remember hes an intelligent fighter. I have watched every "great" fighter with a microscope, and believe me GSP will surpass them all. His time will come, when hes ready, cause hes still in a developing progress and when he begins to believe he is the best, he will become the one true mma fighter, i know i sound like morpheous from matrix.. Anyway, when it comes to being the ONE in a MMA world, with his ability and everything he has going for him, I don't see anyone other than GSP.
Mark my words, he will become the best fighter in MMA history.

When and if those two finally meet it would be the first time ever that I'd root for Silva's opponent. That doesn't mean I'm walking around with blinders on, Silva would have a clear and unquestionable advantage over my boy, but GSP has a good a chance as anyone... hell better than Cote. Doesn't mean he'd(GSP) would win, but there truly is know shame to lose against a fighter like Silva. Especially if he doesn't go in claiming he's the best and going to walk through a man who truly has earned the best P4P title.
GSP all the way baby!
veritasmma said October 16, 2009
Watch what will happen when GSP turns 30 and onwards, which i anticipate.
Just look at what GSP has done being a nice guy, I feel sorry anyone who fights him when hes pissed.
people who surrender to A.silva and his striking greatness are dolts, give me a break, he fought a mediocre striker(forrest), of course he will look sensational, its just most individuals who give credence to silva are not versed in fighting, the art of fighting, what constitutes a great fighter, the potentional of a fighter...etc...they are just your random mma observers, they are incapable of discerning, so just watch, anything more youre exceeding your capacity.

GSP still needs to improve his BJJ, striking, muay thai, and he knows that, but his wrestling is second to none. Look how he has improved since he came to the ufc. Penn and silva are the same fighters as they arrived on the scene. Maybe if you actually took the time to cogitate, which is impossible for a drunk retard like you, you would reach that conclusion. How has penn and silva improved? without penns flexible legs he would be your average bjj artist. ask me any question about a fighter I will give you a definitive, sound, intelligent, analytical answer. btw, I don't read the dictionary, you parochial, pertinacious, feeble, obsequious, gadabouting cipher, its not possible to sit there and memorize words all day, it just shows how small your mind is. Lets see if penn stands up with a striker like alves. Also open your eyes and examine penns face, fighters who have thick skins can afford to strike. Penn has actually gotten worse(noone calls him the prodogy anymore)he was way more impressive in his early years and without those flexible legs he could not finish most of his fights, silva is the same(worse as well-leben to leitas) and don't give me that forrest fight, forrest can't strike for sh*t.
crazycanuck replied October 19, 2009
Dude take a chill pill. You're starting to sound like BJpure on steroids. Say your message but don't be so frustrated. GSP is GSP, Silva is Silva and Penn is Penn. All have their good and their bad. And all are different than the other in fighting styles. But one thing they all have in common, is that they're all champions in their respective weight class.

Oh , so dana white is an expert on fighters and their ability?
anyone else who is working in the business, hell even fighters themselves(so many were thinking bjpenn was going to anihilate GSP), so your argument is weak. I'm not saying I'm a MMA coach, but I'm an acute observer and most people just watch to see a good fight. I , when watching a fight, gauge the ability and the skillset of a fighter(s).
anyway, I am just trying to differentiate level of observation , meaning some might see something that others wont, thats all.

Roo, you and I normally see eye to eye on most subjects, but today I have to respectively disagree. GSP has never turned down an opportunity to fight Silva. To date its been all talk and speculation nothing more. Neither Joe Silva or Dana W. has gone to GSP and official asked for that fight. So to say that GSP needs to man up is well kinda ridiculous. He can't run or duck a fight that has never been offered. That's like saying Anderson Silva is ducking or running from Machida... same principle despite the reasons. Silva like GSP is not running from anything, neither have actually or officially been offered those superfights.
I know what some of you think though, Silva vs Machida's different because Silva doesn't want to fight a friend, but I beg to differ. It's exactly the same, only the circumstances are different. Meaning that right now those two superfights are nothing more than hypothetical... those fights haven't officially been offered or turned down by GSP, nor has a fight with Machida been officially offered to Silva. Believe it or not that does make a difference in this arguement. Not to mention that GSP has entertained the idea of fighting Silva, but he'll do it on his terms, he's fighting to win the fight... not just to say that he fought Silva (that's not enough for him). GSP wants to win so he'll take that opportunity when it's best for him. When he feels he's ready to reach that next level thats when he'll go through Silva.
Right now that's arguable and I agree, yes he has the belt but he wants to be recognized as the best WW to ever live. I'm sorry you don't do that with only three(four if you count Serra) consecutive successful title defenses. Doesn't Matt Hughes have nine successful title defenses? GSP want's to reach that bar and set one of his own, once he's accomplished that goal I honestly believe his next goal would be Silva. Personally I respect the fact that he wants to take on one challenge at a time, why don't you?
KangaRoo2 replied October 19, 2009
GSP is one of the best in the world and as you know I'm a big fan just not a biased fan. Saying he should man up is part of my frustration that he may never fight Silva as time is an issue. He can't wait around until he's ready and since he has cleaned out WW, what is he waiting for? If Silva retires before GSP feels like fighting him it will be a huge let down on himself when looking back. He still can keep on cleaning out the WW division and achieve his goal but this is a once in a lifetime chance to fight a man no one has beat in the UFC. A fight with the Spider won't affect his legacy in WW if he looses and will only gain him knowledge, experience and respect.
tikitmb replied October 19, 2009
As for Dana, yes he's mentioned it more times than I can count but that doesn't necessarily mean that the only reason it hasn't happened is because of GSP. Don't forget Dana promised an immediate title shot to Henderson, but we all see how that turned out. I think if Dana wanted a superfight with GSP and Silva right now it would happen, but Dana's a business man he's going to milk this potential fight for all its worth especially sense we haven't heard any recent retirement claims from Silva. Dana will continue to let GSP build his legacy as a WW it'll only make the fight between those two all the sweeter when they finally meet.
As a side note it just doesn't make sense for Dana to push for certain fights right now with Silva as long as he's complacent to keep fighting. It only seems urgent to get this particular fight going if Silva goes back to talking he's retire. Than I promise you you want have to wait long for that fight, because Dana will make sure it will happen and GSP will do it, but I bet he'd still take that extra time to can muscle as he stated he would.
Anyways glad to see you posting again, kinda miss the ole gang ;)
KangaRoo2 replied October 19, 2009
I guess the biggest factor for me in taking this side of the discussion is that for myself in martial arts, I never wanted an easy opponent and to be fighting tomato cans. I learn more losing than winning and I always wanted to see how I stacked up against better fighters. Every person you compete with you learn something from and Silva is an extremely unique fighter.
Bottom line, I really want to see the fight happen and don't want to see GSP vs. (insert tomato can here). I actually think GSP could win (here's another discussion!) and don't want to see this opportunity pass by. GSP vs Swick just doesn't interest me and there will be no good debates for me to waste time on at work because everyone knows who will win.

Jay Hieron = 5'11"ft
Four fighters, not two that were bigger than GSP.
Thomas Denny = 5'10"ft
David Strasser = 5'10"ft
Josh Koscheck = 5'10"ft with the exception of having shorter legs JK's height, weight and reach is identical to GSP's.
Three fighters in addition that are the same height as GSP.

GSP has fought only as a WW so to intelligently compare bj's record with GSP's I could only use their natural weight classes. I know that might be too hard for you to comprehend so why don't you go back and reread that part reeeeal slow;-) Hopefully you get it the second or third go round.
Don't think I didn't noticed that while you were trying to distract me with the name calling you didn't once attempt to answer my question. It figures and it's not at all surprising it's why I decided to post this as well. Sit back and enjoy I know I will A-hole;-)
Din Thomas = 5'10"
K. Florian = 5'11"
These are the only two LW fighters that bj has fought that were bigger (height only)
Caol Uno = 5'7"
Jens Pulver = 5'7"
Joe Stevenson = 5'7"
These three were smaller by two inches
Joey Gilbert = 5'5"
Paul Creighton = 5'6"
Matt Serra = 5'6"
Sean Sherk = 5'6"
The last four were smaller by 3 to 4 inches. Now this is what I came up with without adding the weight factor. Imagine what that would be like if I decided to go that route as well?
Anyways forgive the spelling, I have yet to install SP on this computer.

What BJ did moving up in weightclass was remarkable, but not only has BJ fought GSP before at WW... BJ has fought and gained experience in all other weight divisions. He is built compact and powerful and was already prepared and motivated for a superfight w/GSP. This made his decision to fight GSP a sound one being fairly safe with great opportunity and return...
On the other hand,a superfight w/Silva/GSP is not a good choice for GSP at this time due to the fact that GSP has not dipped into the larger weight divisions and gives up a lot of reach let alone power and speed to a guy like Silva.
Taking a fight like this would be a completely STUPID until GSP is fully prepared "Mentally" & "Physically" REMEMBER... This is a fans choice, and not in anyone elses best interest yet. GSP would need to dedicate at least 8 months to prepare for Andersons size, standup, power and speed... His ground game is only good if he can get close enough to get him on the ground.
Remember Silva is beating guys at Heavyweight... Thats 2 Divisions NOT 1 and to be totally honest, I can even see Anderson taking a guy out like Mir !!
Hows that for a Bold Statement !!
