Both poll options are ridiculous.
Anyways A. Silva is number one. GSP is second. However, I think that if both remain in their respective divisions AS will lose first.

Did you notice how confident Anderson Silva looked in round 4 n 5 of Sonnen fight despite poor first 3 rounds? (lets not forget this wasn't normal Sonnen but on steroids)
I think AS was unlucky on that fight but he still won and finished the fight, and even Dana called his performance legendary.
AS clearly finished Hendo, and way he performed against Maia in round 1 n 2 was like watching Matrix. 
GSP couldn't even finish Hardy, in fact Hardy looked identical in post fight interview as he did in pre fight interview thanks to GSP great submission skills. 
Sure he is great at taking people down, and good at playing "Safe".. he even took Kos down with about minute left on 5th round.  |

Saying Silva outclassed Maia in that fight and that's why he acted the way he did, is like saying GSP outclassed Shields on the ground so bad and that's why he didn't take him down more.

Come on Khov, Maia was trying to get knocked out in that fight it was so embarrassing. The guy was throwing so recklessly by the end even Chris Leben was wondering what the F*** he was thinking. Anderson made his face look like Hamburger. Anderson made it clear that Maia couldn't take him down and yet refused to put him away regardless.

Silva said he is willing to cut down to 170 to face GSP, and GSP said(iirc) he is not scared to face MW/LHW and since they'll be fighting at same weight i don't see any disadvantage for GSP. GSP fans think GSP can beat anyone anyway..  |
Brock Lesnar can say he is willing to cut down to FW to dethrone Jose Aldo that doesn't mean its real. Talk is cheap and if Anderson Silva is so eager to cut down to WW why hasn't he done it? Why because he physically is not capable anymore.

Chael Sonnen was unlucky. Anderson being unlucky does not explain Sonnen taking him down with ease and dominating 4 rounds. GSP can say he was unlucky when he fought Serra. Silva didn't get caught, that is skill not luck when you do what Sonnen did for 20 minutes.
Your right about one thing though, Hardy looked the same before and after, he didn't have a belt at either time.

My P4P top 5
1. Silva
2. GSP
3. Aldo
4. Melendez
5. Edgar
I believe that rule of: you are considered a true champion if you have at least defended once. Thats why Cain (7) and Jon Jones (6) is not in my Top 5. But if GSP beats Nick Diaz next it would be very debatable if GSP is not #1. I mean his last 3 opponents would be: Koscheck, Shields, Diaz. I think thats a better list than Sonnen, Belfort, Okami (no disrespect). GSP would single handily prove that StrikeForce is lower tier by beating two of their more dominant Champions in two "Superfights". Their is a point where smashing opponents doesent give you extra points anymore considering the quality of opponents faced.

Anderson, hands down.
If this is all based on who the baddest fighter p4p is, you have to finish the fight. If you don't finish a fight, you leave opportunity for the opponent to win. If you finish, well, you are no longer in danger. Anderson would kill anyone he fights, while GSP may get killed over time. That's my drastic way of looking at it.

It's close for me, and i'm an admitted GSP nuthugger. I'm going with Silva though.
He's 13-0 in the UFC, which is just ridiculous. GSP is a fairly close second.

What about the fact that GSP has lost and AS hasn't?
Ask anybody and they would say that a guy who has never lost in the ufc is more dominant than a guy who has lost 2 times
(Serra  ). |

GSP = Best P4P?
