GSP doesn't deserve the unbeatable crown like Silva. Ge Master has a good point. What exactly has GSP proven? On paper, he is heads and tails above almost every fighter in the division. Then in his first title defense he loses to Serra whom almost everyone thought stood no chance. He needs probably 4 or 5 defenses before people should be talking about a fight with Silva. He has proven zero as a champion unlike Silva.

Fitch, Alves, Diego, and Davis are a few I wouldn't mind seeing fight GSP. You may say he would walk over them, but yet again he was supposed to walk over Serra the first time.
GSP is my favorite fighter but I agree, he has never successfully defended the belt which I think he can/will. I want to see him successfully defend the belt 3-5 times b/4 any super fight w/ Silva is made.....
