Please don't argue this, but discuss it. Does anyone think we'll never truly see the full potential of GSP because he doesn't have that killer instinct? Honestly, I think he doesn't like hurting people and that holds back his ability. He fights just enough to win. A few times when his opponent trash talks he seems to get a little more violent, but he doesn't have that switch he can turn on and become a killer in the ring.

I wonder what GSP would be like if he had that violent killer instinct. BTW, this is a separate issue from the pound for pound discussion.

Either way, some of these new kids coming up will surpass both GSP and Silva. Don't forget, MMA is still a very new sport and the true elite level has not been seen yet. You still have guys who started in MMA a few years ago and they are considered contenders. Nobody could start playing football, basketball, or baseball in their mid 20's and be pro level with just a year or two of training. So that shows the sport of MMA will get so much better in the coming years.
