There are quite a few people that can really start to push him to his limits in the 205 class. I think that if Rampage can get his head together, he can be a tough fight for Silva. Power, good ground and pound, and a STRONG right hand (remember, he is the only one to KO Chuck Liddel, and he did it twice). Forrest can also be a tough guy to go against, since he just has the heart of a lion, and will not stop.
I also think that after some more training, and time to compete in the ring for a couple of years, Amir could be a good contender as well.
But yea, Silva is just scary good. He has eaten some really tough hits in his career, and ALWAYS finishes his fights. The toughest thing really about fighting him is just that he is REALLY strong all the way around. He can stand and strike with some of the best (See the Irvin fight), but is also amazing at ground defense as well. Toughest guy to take to the mat since his BJJ skills are just unreal.
