Who’s the Best Pound for Pound Fighter: Silva or St. Pierre?

I grow tired of hearing Anderson Silva being called the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. It’s not that Anderson’s not a God — he clearly is — but they’re leaving someone out of the equation. They’re forgetting about Georges St. Pierre.
Silva just destroyed Irvin in one punch at 205, and there’s no doubt that he could dominate at that weight, but I think he’s right when he says his place is at 185. I think he should stay there at 185, and that St. Pierre should come up from 170 to meet him.
That is the fight I want to see — Silva vs. St. Pierre.
The winner of that contest would be the true pound-for-pound champion, and calling Silva by that title before he faces St. Pierre is premature.:
