I think you argue just for the sake of arguing. I said the difference in walking around weight between GSP and Silva is ALMOST 30 pounds. Then you call me ignorant and say the difference can be between 195 - 225. WTF? That looks a lot like almost 30 pounds to me.
Do you understand what best "pound for pound", means? You argue GSP is the greatest P4P, yet throw up a 30lbs weight difference in your post. What exactly is your point? Either he is, or he isn't.

P4P was created because you can't have a Mike Tyson and a Sugar Ray Robinson fight to show who is the better fighter. And you can say the same thing about GSP and Aranha. The body composition alone gives Aranha the upper hand, longer limbs, better leverage, etc. The only reason why DFW wants this is because there is literally no one left for Anderson.

Everything I posted in this thread is pretty mainstream and you can see the same things written by sports writers who have been following MMA for decades. You may not agree with some of my opinions, but they are not ignorant or misinformed.
Actually you'd be wrong on the sports writers following this for decades, as this sport isn't even 2 decades old. Hell by best estimates, modern MMA is between 10 to 15 years old. And if you can't supply any other argument on your own merits without having to quote a website, then I fall back to my earlier post, debating out of ignorance.
