And let's look at 2 of those 3 decisions - against Hermes Franca and Nick Diaz.  Out of Hermes Franca's 6 losses, only 1 has NOT been by decision.  That means that Hermes has only been finished once in his career of 24 fights.  Nick Diaz has been finished 2 times in the 23 fights that comprise his career.  One of those stoppages was in 2002 and the other was the controversial stoppage due to a cut in the KJ Noons fight.  What I'm trying to point out is that both of these fighters are EXTREMELY hard to finish.  The fact that Sherk beat them both via unanimous decisions shouldn't automatically brand him as "unable to finish fights."

Sherk's other decision win was against Florian.  This fight, in my view, should not provide evidence either way because Sherk fought with essentially one arm (torn rotator).  The evidence it does provide, however, is of the heart and dedication Sherk has.  A point that does not seem to win him as many fans as it should.

Another important point that people should be aware of is that Sherk has finished Karo Parisyan in a previous fight.  So, unlike Georges St. Pierre, Sherk was able to finish that fight.

Sorry for the long post but I think it's a point that needs to be made. Most MMA fans are so short-sighted that it's not surprising they would jump to the ill-informed conclusion that Sherk can't finish fights or that he can only win by lay-and-pray.
