Paccico retired, says he is either going the MMA-route or start a Jewelry-franchise instead.

who is paccico? you mean pacquioa? do you have proof he retired? He sounded like he still wanted to fight after he lost on Dec 8th

Grim Lifter was talking about Pacicco.

Seems like he started a Jewellry-business instead.

The fight that makes most sense is Silva vs Bones yest hes adamant he wants GSP to fight instead? Bad match making IMO, GSP would be overwhelmed

NOPE, GSP vs Silva would be bigger, way bigger. The hype would go back 5 years or more. Jones and Silva, nah, not that interesting. The numbers would be the biggest in the history of mma, all records would smashed, GSP and Silva is the number one super fight, it would be like Foreman and Ali.

Silva and Jones would be a better match.

GSP is too small, Bones/Silva is the better fight.

Jesus, not this shit again. The fight makes no sense. Silva is a lot closer in size to a light heavy weight than GSP is to a middle weight.  There is no other reason for this fight other than a grab for money. You want to see a fight, how about Jones vs Silva.

YOU WILL NEVER SEE THIS FIGHT

Gsp is not the type of warrior to take challenges like this.

i believe GSP alluded to this as well. wouldn't be fair to him. there's probably more than the nominal 15 pound difference between the two.

so what? Heavyweights fight with 40lb differences all the time. if you wanna be a legend one must do these things.

Ony way GSP wins is in a lay n pray , ground and pound if possible.

Qft..

Silva is to big..
Even if they do it at the catch weight ..

Sad Dana is trying to squeeze every last penny out of his 2 fighters .
He knows Silva would win..

Me personally - I really don't want to see GSP get the Rich Franklin nose job just to see Dana make a circus show.

I was talking about what would be the most competitive fight, not the biggest sideshow.

OK, let's think this through, of course Jones would be a better match up but that would make less sense in the promotional aspect. plain and simple

yest hes adamant he wants GSP to fight instead? .....it is Dana and his objective lines up exactly for the GSP fight, not hard to understand

GSP is too light to fight, to thin to win.

Silva will kill him 9 out of ten times but people don't care, they want to see them fight.

according to your criteria silva isn't a legend. I concur.

Anderson wont do it. these guys at this point in their careers dont want big challenges like this, they have too much to lose and would rather sail into an easy retirement with their big challenges behind them.

amazing fighter, but his potential to me is unknown since hes never fought a top fighter with the same height and reach as he has. just my opinion. a win over Jones would make me take all that back and then some.

I'll never get over Silva's high voice. lol. Would never tell him to his face. lol.
Silva will destroy GSP. It's not a good idea to fight Jones. But if there's anyone that can beat him. It's Silva....I don't see it happening but it is Anderson Silva.
