If Thiago Alves (the most legit welterweight contender in the division) could't win a single round vs. GSP, then they can't either.
Mike Swick should beat Hardy though, even though I think both have some very good stand-up skills. Neither of them are even at Alves level right now, IMO.
(Disclaimer: I am an Alves homer.)

I know anyone can get caught. He even got caught by Serra but I just don't see anyone in any organization at 170lbs beating him.

Who does? GSP or Hornbuckle?
Hornbuckle KO'd Gono with a nasty headkick recently.

Would be good, but a) I dont think Sexyama has confirmed hes going to 170 just yet, and b) hard to give a guy a title shot after a decision win over Alan Belcher at a different weight class!

I don`t really think that matters much any more. If it did, Vitor wouldn`t be getting a shot at Silva before Nate or Hendo.

True in a way. But KOing Rich Franklin at 195 is more impressive than decisioning Belcher IMO.
But yes, it doesnt really matter anymore since Henderson was supposed to get the next title shot. I hate when teh UFC pulls this ****!
The funny thing is Henderson cancelled a seminar he was going to do here in Canada so he could train for Franklin. That fight was cancelled (given to Belfort instead), then his rematch with Silva now seems kaput!
I agree that him and Marquardt are the 2 tops contenders, so it makes sense for them to fight.
But I dont really like the way they gave him the runaround.
I mean, Henderson cancelling a seminar in Ottawa actually take huge $$$ out of his pocket. To not follow through on that fight, and then again with Silva doesnt seem right.

The seminar Hendo was going to do was $150/person.
They were expecting about 100 people. Assuming the gym takes $50 per person as a cut, which would be reasonable, Hendo is out about $10K and the gym is out about $5K.
"Little" stuff like that is what most people dont see when they defned the UFC's business practices.
When I see crap like that, it kinda makes me not care who gets a fight for the title because the UFC will do whatever they want and need to to make money, including going back on your word!

I think Henderson would do better against Silva in a 2nd match.Not saying he would win,but i couldn't see him getting abused like these other guys that have fought Silva.
