Probably Penn a little more than Gsp, but both are great. There's a few reasons that Penn deserves a title shot. One he's the lightweight champ.Two, he's held the welterweight championship in the past. Three, he's willing to move up in weight class. Four, he's the last fighter (except for the Serra upset) to push Gsp to the limit, a three round split decision. And finally, five, and most important, it'll make a ton of money because hardcore fans like me will definitely pay to see it. First, I’m a huge fan of both fighters.

Tyson is a warrior but I think Sherk is better-faster, stronger, and hungrier. I dont see Tyson being able to take Sherk down. Also, Sherk just fought a war against one of the best fighters in the world (Bj Penn). Win or lose, your fight game improves when you get in the ring with someone of that caliber.

If GSP needs an extra month to prepare, who cares. Just remember- he is not a chicken. I’ve been hearing the fight will happen Jan 31-superbowl weekend.

I doubt it...when they do fight again and BJ is on the end of a beating what will you say than..."BJ was hurt", "not fair because GSP had some time off to really prepair himself" etc...etc...etc If BJ wanted to take some time off you would be defending that...saying he deserves the time because he is such a great champion, if you go back and really look into it GSP may have fought only twice in 2008 but if you go back over 12 months he has fought 4 times Great work on the research…please crawl out of BJ’s a$$ the last fight I want to see is GSP vs Penn, I already seen it and GSP won! if GSP was ging to fight anyone else and said that he wanted to take some time off would you have gone through all that research?

if you go back and really look into it GSP may have fought only twice in 2008 but if you go back over 12 months he has fought 4 times

If he's not as strong as he was before, I think Tyson has a great chance. Great sprawl and scramble, improving stand-up, and really good wrestling. Sherk on the other hand is obviously great at what he does, though I haven't seen his stand-up really work yet. I think that Sherk was smaller in his last fight.
