I think he could be competetive, maybe even win. Silva's arguably looked weakest against good wrestlers. He ended up winning, but Lutter and Henderson gave him fits while on the ground. GSP's wrestling is hard to compare to Hendo's, but just about everyone is of the mind that he's probably one of if not the best p4p wrestler there is. IMO He'd be far and away the most complete fighter Silva has ever faced.
Now, save for Thiago Alves, the WW division doesn't have anyone with truly elite striking skills. And Silva is probably light years ahead of Alves in that department. Given the range advantage Silva would have, GSP would have some serious work cut out for him to avoid Silva's fists and legs.
