Frankly, Hughes has a higher finish percentage than GSP in comparison to their win statistics. The issue involved is trend, though. Whereas Hughes has finished eight of his last ten victories, GSP has only finished five of his last ten. There is also the issue of title defenses. While Hughes has defended his title 7 times, GSP has defended it only four times. GSP has a few more high quality wins to go before growing beyond Hughes in that respect.
Not holding GSP's technical prowess against him by any means, but his success mainly lies in his successful fight strategies. Now with anomalies like his embarrassing fight against Hardy, where GSP perfectly executed his strategy yet couldn't finish the submission, there certainly seems to be work needed in the area of technique, and so many failures against such an inferior opponent should certainly hold weight.
The biggest issue with GSP is time. Concerning the issue of duration, Hughes is obviously the most dominant welterweight in MMA history. Thus in gauging who is the best welterweight of all time, let's make sure this is a matter of fighter capability and not a current comparison of Hughes, who is past his prime.
Although he has the potential to become the greatest welterweight in MMA history, GSP needs a lot more fights under his belt before proving it to the world. And remember, this is not about who could be whom in a current contest; it's about being the greatest welterweight of all time.
