Shuberling Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 He could do it, I'm guessing he walks around at 175lbs - 180lbs. He's a huge LW with crazy speed, strength and explosive KO power, he's got a build like Alves as well. Other than the fact that the division is full of wrasslers who will wanna shag him, I reckon he'd do quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verJJ Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 not with all the LnPers in this division, he'd either get laid on all day by the bigger guys like GSP or catch them with 1 shot, but he'd probably get laid on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reapers_bane Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 he was at 170 earlier in his career but he should at least win the LW title before going back to 170 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tswurv Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 he should mos def stay @ LW. he is one of the bigger LW (and faster too) he has no reason to move up that i can think of... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boone1406050353 Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 He would do ok against the bottom half of the division. But would get destroyed by any top 10 WW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHenry Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 What would be the point of him going to WW, if weight was a problem he wouldnt be the fastest(or one of the fastest at least) LWs. I think he should win his title beore he does anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me_Against_The_World Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Melvin Guillard can slug at Lightweight because...Lightweights tend to have little to no KO power and the few that do he has a speed advantage over. At Welterweight he'll have a reach disadvantage and lose his power advantage , I watched Condit whoop him up striking. Haven't you ever wondered how good Guillards striking would look if he fought BJ Penn? Or even if he fought Eddie Alvarez....I think it wouldn't be so explosive and fast , I see him getting outstruck by either personally. Guys like Nick Diaz , Daley , Alves and more would outstrike him , while plenty could throw him around and possibly submit him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRearNaked Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Gsp could just fight in both divisions if he just fought at MM at 190 pounds only cutting 5 pounds. He doesn't really need to go up and gain weight. He would be just cutting less weight to get to 185 so he could actually fight in both divisions. He should take some fights like Anderson did and fight top 10 guys at MM and see how he does. More people would definitely want to see gsp if he was fighting in both divisions. Nate marquardt fought in MM at around 190 pounds so i think gsp should do that same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
