But I still believe Silva would come unstuck against someone with good boxing skill.

We might see in the future. It looks like he wants to do some boxing after he retires from mma, which, by what I hear, will be next year.

That was more of a 175lb Roy Jones Jr than a Mayweather.

True. It looked like some Roy Jones type stuff. The way he was dodging strikes and punching looked like what Roy used to do.

This. He's done RJJ-esque stuff before.

Silva seems to have gotten some of his influence from this guy also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFWZa3_0aws

He mentions him as a godfather of his.

Pele is the godfather to a lot of the MMA fighters in Brazil whether it be directly and indirectly. One of the first stars of brazilian MMA, and one of the first well rounded fighters. Watch his fights with Jorge Patino. Big and very heated rivalry and the fights were awesome both for the entertainment (the two stop fighting midway through the fight start trash talking each other) and the dislike between the two (the staredown was then replicated by Wand in his career).

I don't think that footage was ever released. But from what I heard from some of the Cage Rage guys that were there it was Pele taking it to do the ground and looking to lay and pray. Every time they were stood back up Lee would get the better of him as the fight wore on until the 2rd when Lee knocked him out cold. First time that had happened to Pele as well.

I just saw the fight with him and Patino. It's a classic. It's up there with Douglas/Tyson, Manhoef/Cyborg as far as the best fights I've ever seen.
