Anderson Silva’s coach says Georges St. Pierre should stay at 170 pounds or he’ll end up with a headache

Josuel Distak, the Muay Thai coach of UFC middleweight champion, Anderson Silva has today dismissed the notion that 170 pound king-pin, Georges St. Pierre will be any match for the Brazilian, adding he should stay in his own weight class.
Speaking via Tatame Magazine, Distak said:
“Georges St. Pierre should stay in his division (laughs), because if he moves up he’d have much headache. St. Pierre is a strategic fighter. Besides being very dangerous, Anderson also is strategic, so he has two weapons. Anderson has an advantage over St. Pierre because of his reach and game, he has a more efficient Muay Thai and a tough ground game. Anderson will be prepared for him”.
For St. Pierre to challenge “The Spider” he will first have to get past Jake Shields at UFC 129 on April 30th in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Does Distak have a point about the tools Silva possesses and that he’ll be too much for the talented Canadian?
