4: GSP
and depending on the day of the week that list changes.
Okay so given that BJ and GSP are both on the top 4 best lb for lb the smart pick in this heads up match is GSP because he's bigger.

Yes, until RECENTLY. Before he beat Hughes his wrestling was called into question. He trained with some of the best in the world and sharpened his skills and beat Hughes at his own game and then some. GSP is not considered a jits-guy really, he is not a blackbelt like Penn yet he is almost impossible to pin/submit. YET, like you said, he is considered OVERALL one the best pound for pound fighters in the world. You tell me. Once he has Penn tapping out for mercy there will be NO MORE doubting his skills.
