If they were the same size, GSP might have a chance. As things stand, the fight is a mismatch. Even if they were the same size I'd probably favor Silva. GSP is obviously a very good fighter, but he is not beating Silva. We also don't know whether GSP can get back to form or not, of course.

Can't see GSP beating Silva. First off, no way in hell he can finish Anderson so he'd have to survive for 25 minutes, but Anderson only needs one good opening or moment to finish him. With GSP's chin and sensitive skin, Anderson would brutalise him.

If the fight happens at 170, then GSP would be the favourite but anything north of 175lbs it is hard to see past Silva. Silva is a big guy and his striking is amazing. I can see GSP laying on him for a round at most, maybe two but apart from that Silva can end the fight very quickly on the feet. GSP uses his striking to setup his takedowns, but his striking is terrible compared to Silva. His MMA wrestling is awesome though, Sonnen is the only guy who probably has better top control but GSP has better submission defence.
