he wont fight the current UFC LHW in Jon Jones because theyre 'friends' well in boxing competition overrides friendship just consider how many time Pacman beat Moralez

Yet he will fight the champ in which is considerably smaller than him

“No opponent makes sense for Anderson at this moment. Unless we do a catchweight against Georges St. Pierre. They didn’t offer the fight, but he’s the only one that could do a super fight. Anderson has the biggest paycheck in the UFC, and you can’t promote an event with these amateur kids that are coming up now.” - Silvas manager Guimaraes, Tatame Magazine

He should just retire. Jones is bigger, stronger, faster, and over a decade younger. Even if anderson is better "p4p" I don't think he can win.

Hopefully he reads this post.

what's silva's natural fighting weight? so, you want him to fight a naturally bigger and younger man, who is at the top of his game? roy jones jr did this, but he picked a tomato can HW champ. i have a better idea, lets see how FMW would fair against Andre Ward at his best weight. Lets be sensible.

Lol Ward vs Mayweather would be a records fight for number of clinches/running/ducking per round

Weiderman?

he doesn't wanna fight Weidman cause he thinks he is an "amateur".
he won't fight Jones who is more similar in size and reach to him than GSP.
if they make a GSP superfight tho GSP will win. mark my words.

Dont you agree that with their super illusive styles, even at the same weight it wouldn't be toe to toe stuff would it?

Gsp would beat Silva. Silva was exposed by Sonnen. GSP is much too intelligent of a fighter to NOT beat Silva and implement Sonnen's plan better and faster... along with a higher paced cardio.

Bones would beat Silva. Actually, he would demolish him.

Silva is an awesome fighter with amazing striking and movement. He's been placed on a level that he shouldn't be on.

I wasn't overly impressed with Jone's in his last fight against Rashad Evans. It was long drawn out fight, which clearly showed Jone's weaknesses.

Silva has fought at 205 and been victorious. GSP hasn't fought at 185...he fights at 170....he isn't a huge 170 either. Even at 178 or 180 Silva would have an edge physically that GSP would not be able to overcome. SIlva going to 205 to fight Jones is a better, fairer fight.

Not wanting to fight a "friend" would mean that they don't understand that its a sporting event. It's not like their in Rome and having to fight to the death.

GSP wins. Hands down. His cardio is too strong. His BJJ is too strong. His striking stands with Silva. And he's hungrier than Silva and has more discipline.

Trust me - when GSP returns, he owns the sport. He would dominate in savage fashion.

But they'll never have the fight. Too much for the UFC to lose to diminish either fighter. Best to let them draw as champions to prop up payperview events.

andy is too big
