I like your list.
1 Silva
2 GSP
3 Faber
4 BJ
5 Forrest (he beat Rua and Rampage and everyone makes excuses why)
Fedor misses out simply due to inactivity.
I think this will be fun, try and keep it clean remember these are our opinions.
IN order, who do you think the top 5 fighters are lb for lb?
5. Im really torn here. I think Rampage is a better fighter than Forrest even though Forrest beat him(in a close bout). Forrest did beat Shogun but Rampage beat a unstoppable Lidell and Hendo.
4. Urijah Faber -best at his division and very young and will only get better
3. Georges St. Pierre - Very disciplined, very humble, very focused. Earlier in his career he didnt seem as conditioned as he is now physically and mentally. He tore up the Matt Hughes who is considered the best welterweight ever by some. Then rebounded on a loss from Sera and gave him a new asshole. I don't see him losing to anyone in that division anytime soon. Still young and will only get better.
2. Fedor Emelianenko - LOL I know I wont hear the end of this but I have never been high on the big dumb oaf Sylvia and Fedor made beating him look easier than anyone else has. Fedor is a beast however but I think the next man im about to name is that unstoppable.
1. Anderson Silva - the man, the beast, the spider!! Wow is all I can say. The man is a Brazilian Muay Thai champion, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and is just simply amazing in the ring. I don't see many flaws in his game and still think we havent seen all that he can do. His last loss was in early 06 and that was because of a disqualification (illegal kick). So basically in 5 years he hasnt tapped or been knocked out (Ryo Chonan by Submission - Flying Scissor Heel Hook).
I like your list.

I was going to put Penn up at 5 but I think he is 6 on my list. I agree on Fedor but he is a monster but I think Arlovski can beat him. hahaha ok well maybe not but Arlovski is my favorite HW. He is number 7 on my list because I don't count his losses to the big dumb oaf lol.
1 silva
2 fedor
3 gsp
4 huerta
5 forrest
1. Fedor - best HW ever and he's really a UFC LHW...
2. Silva - close to Fedor, but people forget he's lost a few times. His win at LHW helps his cause some...
3. Penn - has showed he can fight between 155 and 205...when he's in shape, he's the man.
4. GSP - his loss to Serra hurts (as fluke as it might've been) but Penn schooling him before gassing keeps him below BJ for me.
5. Faber - needs a challenge at 145 lbs.
Silva's incredible activity compared to Fedor doesn't mean that much more to you?
"It looks like Leonard and I see it the same.
1. Fedor
2. Silva
3. Penn
4. GSP
5. Faber
1. Silva- didn't he retire Rich Franklin? The latest slap was hard.
2. Fedor- He's a bear, but need more.
3. GSP- Matt Hughes is nobody now because of this guy. Loss to Serra was rough, but in MMA expect at least 5 loses because it's too hard to recover when you're caught.
4. BJ Penn- A natural and he made Sherk look like a punk.
5. Forrest- Give him his due though I sense the fix is in with this guy. Shogun should have wasted this guy.
Actually, Franklin has moved to 205 lbs...
and "the fix?" Jeez...
Nah...it's just been a matter of cir stances really. Like I said earlier this year...give him through 2008 and then see where he's at. One down...he's about to go on a big run with AA next...
He's done what he's done while rarely being the bigger dog in the fight...that to me is what P4P is all about...
Silva is HUGE middleweight...

Doesn't matter why, it still happened.
But I see your point of view and that’s fine. To me activity is extremely relevant. I think the entire body of works counts as much as what they have done in the past 2 or 3 years.
5. Urijah Faber
4. GSP
3. BJ Penn
2. Fedor
1. Anderson
I found myslef actually considering other fighters only to realize some werent the best, only my favorites.
so here are my favorites...
5. Cain Velasquez (Mainly because its rare to see a HW with that kind of agility)
4. Urijah Faber
3. Rampage
2. Thiago Alves
1. Anderson Silva

We need to all get in the chat room and come up with "The Official Spurstalk.com MMA Rankings"
who has huerta beat in the top 10? if your going to go LW at the number 4...aoki, gomi, penn, jz are all more worthy. judgement day will come for Hueta vs Florian and then BJ if he can beat kenflo.
