GSP's real weakness.

After watching Gsp's 2 losses it's quite obvious that his boxing is his weakness. Before the eye poke , Bj was outboxing him. In the Serra fight ,GSP had good stance and good movement, but you could tell that Serra had the better exchanges which GSP lacks (boxing combinations). I think that GSP will be 170 for a long time since the WW division has any good strikers.

i agree.
his boxing needs work, he needs combinations. he throws shots from the outside mostly.

GSP has no weakness. He excels at everything. His boxing is the best. His wrestling is the best. His BJJ is the best. No one can touch him, except me when I'm hugging his nuts.

Diego Sanchez has killer boxing skillz. He trained with world class boxer Oscar de la Hoya. When the two meet, GSP will be owned by Diego standing!

Weakness as in, "It's not on a par with the rest of his skill set", maybe. Weakness as in, "It sucks", no.

LoL You refer to GSP's 2 loses... In 1 fight he got arm bared..

The 2nd fight he says he was fed up that night...

You GSP haters will always under estimate his game just like everyone was craping on his wrestling before the KOS fight.


GSP is extremly hard to fight on the feet...

Because you never know if you're going to get punched, superman punched, low kicked, high kicked, round house kicked, spinning back kick, taken down or a combination of all of the above.

You step in the octagone with him and then tell me how his striking is.

i agree..his boxing is his weakest skillpoint and needs alot of work, however he has great kicks...But i dont think that matters, because i believe many that are good strikers will beat him standing and force him to get a takedown..
