Thiago Alves is a solid striker but do you guys agree with him that he's a better striker than GSP?
yes
yes
No
he has more power than GSP but not the speed. also, let's see if he can make 170 on the nose for a title fight.
He's not the best at setting up his kicks and punches. He sets up his kicks with his punches and vice versa, but he doesn't do well setting up his whole striking arsenal as a whole, IMO.
GSP does, so I think GSP may be the better striker.
Alves has more power though.
GSP's wrestling will be a huge problem for Alves though, IMHO, but if GSP gets hit, then he could be on wobbly street worse than he was in Serra/GSP I
alves would probably beat gsp in a kickboxing match, but not mma...
