Paulo Thiago. Underated?

I really think paulo thiago has the skills to go up against st pierre. I really dont think hardy deserves a shot at st pierre. Hardy could not finish swick and paulo rocked swick then slapped a darce on him showing his patience and skills. It shows the thiago has subbmissions which is one of few ways you can fight st pierre. Thiago is better than st pierre on the stand up but what he lacks is what st pierre has. We never really see thiagos ground game much but he has subbmission skills because its not so easy to pull a darce off that good. He improves into a different fighter everytime he fights, i like the way he paws and slips punches but has the power to knock you out. Thiagos boxing is top notch. hes got good head movement and hes a thinker more than just a thrower. His counter striking never ceases to amaze which is usally getting him the win. But am i pouring on to much sugar on it? I dont know how bias i am on this subject but thiagos not really that big of a deal... yet. I know thiagos going to go far i just dont know how far and if hes going to train as hard as he can. Hes definatly not a slacker. Hes on the side of the fighters that are always training non stop. He trains with the best which always pays off in the end. I dont think thiago gets as much credit as he deserves especialy after his one loss. If this guy can train as much as possible and push himself to the edge than i think theres nothing stopping him from becoming the welterweight champion.
