You cannot say that GSP would or woudnt have won a "boxing or kickboxing" match with Hardy because its not boxing or kickboxing.... Personally, I think GSP is a MUCH better boxer then you guys give him credit for.. go back and watch ALL of his fights.. I personally think that he would beat Hardy in a kickboxing match.. lets face it, Hardy was just out of his league and did not deserve a title shot.. he should have fought KOS first who would have beat him and ended the nonsense.. I'm guessing GSP's next fight will probably be a rematch with KOS when/if he beats Daley... KOS is the only one to give GSP any competition in the past couple years.. I would like to see one of these 185ers try and cut down to 170 and fight him..
Okay, Kos is not a top level fighter. Plain and simple. He has been around for a while now and not really shown any signs of getting a title. GSP and Hardy both would beat Kos. I said that GSP has good standup, not great. That is what I have said. Anyone that can't wrestle is going to be out of their league with GSP. Once someone comes along that can stall his TDs, GSP will be beat. Don't get me wrong here, I am a GSP fan and I have been for a while, but I think he fights "safer" than he used to.

They both do. GSP brings it up in almost every interview he has. It's legacy this and legacy that....He also keeps bringing up the "best P4P" too but he will never be considered for that without wins like he got last night IMO. I think that if you are to be considered for best P4P, it won't come just from your record.....it comes from that way in which you won the fights too. GSP is really doing nothing more than what Hughes did while on his win streak and he has never been mentioned for P4P.
