I think GSP would do well, He's been training at the gym I do Muay Thai at on Tuesdays...noticed lately he's been sparrign with bigger guys, doubt its just for his fight with Shields
But anyways, back to Bones, I was really impressed with how he handled himself, Shogun reminded me a bit of the last time he came off surgery and fought forrest, although this time, you could tell he was not sure how to attack him, couldn't even use his greatest weapon on him

That's cool, I would love to meet GSP in person. He seems like a really nice guy.
Jones was bigger, stronger, and faster than Shogun. The real killer though was the reach advantage. Shogun had to charge in to even try to hit him, which allowed Jones to easily dodge or counter it. I think Jones is kind of like Brock Lesnar. He seems unstoppable, but someone just needs to figure out the right game plan to beat him. He's a freak athlete, but he has a lot more overall skill than Lesnar which makes it even more difficult.
I think perfect timing + killer leg kicks could have slowed Jones down and taken away some of that reach. Other strategy would be someone who can take him down and keep him there GSP style.
