I dont particularly like Silva....
but there is no question, that pound for pound he is the finest fighter on the planet right now...
that dude is approaching 40 years of age.. and is still destroying everyone that gets into the octagon with him..
17 fights since his last loss in early 2006... only two of them have gone to decision.. 15 have been KO, TKO, or submission.. 13 of those fights have ended in the 1st round..
Truthfully, Silva hasnt been "beaten" since 2004.. the fight he lost in 2006 was because he was DQ'd for an illegal kick.. he was winning that fight at the time it was stopped..
He doesnt fight chumps either.. his wins are against Maia, Griffin, Sonen, Bonnar, Belfort, Cote, Henderson, Franklin, Marquart, etc..
GSP is an awesome fighter...
but there is no comparrison to Silva IMNSHO...
