You are wrong.
Sonnen is the x factor in the pound for pound equation. Someone in Silva's weight class has his number. Nobody has yet shown that they have GSPs number.

If GSP and Silva both had to rematch their toughest opponents, the money would have to be on GSP to win his fight. That's what makes it a draw in my book at this point. If Silva rematches Sonnen and puts him away, then Silva is the best pound for pound fighter. Until then it is a draw.

BTW, Okami was not a worthy opponent for Silva, but the same can be said against a few of GSP opponents. Japanese fighters struggle at the mid level of the UFC, let alone the elite level.

edit: I posted this before I saw your rib injury post. Nobody knows the true extent of that injury so not sure how much you can factor that in. Like I said, if he rematches Sonnen and puts him away, he will be the best pound for pound fighter without question.
