Ken shamrock vs georges st pierre?
I think GSP, he has come along way. He seems to have more confidence and is super fast on his feet. Ken Shamrock is bigger so I am assuming that if this were if they were in the same weight class.





I am really impressed with GSP lately he has some nice takedowns and super high kicks that look so flawless. He totally outclassed Serra.
Reply:The people who are saying Shamrock would win are the people forgetting how much MMA has evolved since guys like Shamrock were on top of the MMA world. 13-15 years ago almost every fighter was only strong in only one form of martial art. In todays MMA world all the top fighters are well rounded in almost every aspect of fighting, especially St. Pierre who is dangerous both standing up and on the ground...Shamrocks weakness...the ground game...Gracie exploited that in the early days of the UFC. St. Pierre would take him down and pound on him like Tito did. Shamrock would have a punchers chance but St. Pierre would make the fight hit the ground before that would happen.
Reply:In his Pancrase days Ken Shamrock fought at around 235. he was exceptionally strong and reportedly could bench 500 pounds. Despite was some people above have said, Ken was an extremely skilled MMA fighter and was a deadly submition specialist. He's just old now and has had so many injuries. Most of the original Pancrase fighters' bodies have broken down with age because of all the injuries they've suffered.





We all know about GSP. He is very athletic and has well rounded skills.





I would go with Shamrock because I think he could take GSP down easily, and could submit him.
Reply:wow, I cant believe all these people picking shamrock


I know shamrock is bigger but he probably only has GSP by 20 lbs at the most. GSP's skill level is ALOT higher in every aspect and he is ALOT faster than shamrock ever was. Ive never seen shamrock show a particualry high skill level in anything as it concerns to MMA. I know he was a good shoot figthter but come on, he has no BJJ, little to no wrestling, never seemed to be much of a striker. Rich Franklin destroyed shamrock fighting at 185, GSP is easily big enough to fight at 185.


GSP just has to much of a technique advantage, GSP wins easliy IMO
Reply:Looking at the calaber of fighters that were in the earlier UFC tournaments (seemed to be a lot of bar-brawlers in the tournaments), and seeing how lame Ken is nowadays (even though he looks to be in great shape for his age), I'd have to give the win to GSP. I just think Ken was overrated.
Reply:u gotta think about this question, st pierre fights at 170 and shamrock fights at 205. thats a huge difference but it if they could meet at a catchweight of maybe 185 i think that st-pierre in his prime becuz the style and athleticism is too great with st pierre.shamrock was well rounded but was always more of a submission fighter. GSP is excellent in everything not just good like shamrock
Reply:GSP wins. Ken was never top tier, although he was close to it. Ken lost to Royce, who weighed similar to what GSP would weigh in that situation. GSP is better than Royce.





GSP wins, because he is good enough to take Ken down, keep him down, and pound on his face all night.
Reply:It really depends. Back when Ken was king Ankle locks and leg locks were the hype. So on that, if GSP were to fight Ken of those days, he'd get schooled. Now TODAY...Ken would get murdered. Period. GSP is the man at welterweight and I don't see anybody beating him.
Reply:gsp would have killed ken at any point in his career. shamrock never won any titles and is an overated fighter, robert berry just kicked his ***.
Reply:p4p....GSP


in a fight...shamrock due to the weight difference
Reply:oh ken in his prime for sure, but now he's a washed up old man!





and i agree with weight class not being equal
