No doubt Silva is bigger, but I guarantee GSP is physically stronger - the dude can do chinups with an extra 100 pounds, I doubt Silva strength trains like that.
I think Silva will be able to handle/control him from his back if it goes there. Plus, we don't know how the added weight will affect other aspects of GSP's game like speed/movement which could give Anderson an edge and more opportunity to knock him out.
