Anderson Silva calls out Roy Jones Jr.

Jones would kill him.

jones would crush him if they got into the ring

this is like the 70th thread about this. anyway, is Silva is REALLY serious about this, then he should train for about a year for boxing only, set up some fights to build his record up from 1-1 so he can actually be considered a contender. that is if he really wants this to happen. And this is like the 70th post already in this thread about how this is like the 70th thread posted. So I guess we're even :fing02:

Silva is a fucking tough motherfucker, and a beast in the octagon, but in the squared circle he will be roys bitch regardless of roys age!

REMEMBER THESE POSTS! I am not saying Anderson would win but if he somehow beats Roy everyone will backpedal and say Roy was washed up anyways. boxing is a whole different game. Average boxers would whoop on silva

REMEMBER THESE POSTS! I am not saying Anderson would win but if he somehow beats Roy everyone will backpedal and say Roy was washed up anyways. Silva beating Jones is not even a possibility. What are the chances of a 1-1 professional boxer beating a top 10 light heavyweight? Jones would stop him quickly and there would be no significance to it. If Jones loss, then he lost to a 1-1 fighter. If he won, then he beat an MMA fighter that couldn't box in the first place so whats the point?

This would turn out the same way as the Trinidad fight.....a glorified sparring exhibition

Silva's stand up looks a lot better in the octagon when his opponent has to respect his knees and kicks. In the sparring his technique was much worse. The only reason they say Jones is because they know he's old, past his prime, and has shown a very shaky chin. He also got knocked out by a southpaw. He wouldn't want to fight a guy like Calzaghe.

Its real easy to make a challenge, but i doubt this would ever even be sanctioned anywhere considering Anderson Silva is 1-1 in the boxing ring as a professional.

well these MMA fighters also know how to throw punches, plus the fact that RJJ is 40ish. Let him say that against Macca or even Glen Johnson for that matter. Yes Johnson has more heart than RJJ thats why I chose him, what about Haye, Jirov? I would love to see Kimbo vs Butterbean

I was watching Sportsnet, and they said Anderson Silva has shown serious interest in fighting Roy Jones Jr. in a professional BOXING match. If that's the case, Silva is delusional, he wouldn't last more than 4 rounds. Lol!!! Roy 5 years from now could still beat this clown!!! Im guessing he is sick of making chump change compared to boxers!!!

I can understand why Anderson Silva would want to fight Roy Jones... Silva doesn't make much in the UFC, even though he is a dominant champion. He isn't a big name. Even if Anderson is humiliated against Roy Jones, he would make a lot of money out of it and get to fight his idol RJJ. I don't think it should happen though because it's a mismatch. Anderson Silva is a decent boxer but he is primarily a muay thai fighter with solid boxing technique to back it up, Roy Jones has done boxing for his whole life and has been the p4p #1 in the past.

why??????????????????????????????????????? Does he just want to say he stepped into same ring as Roy Jones Jr. ? Unless he likes the taste of canvas.

Boxing Match = Roy Jones UFC Match = Silva i hope this doesn't happen

sure let it happen.. KTFO of the year LMAO......:lol1: :lol1: "KNOCK THE FUCK OUT OF THE YEAR..." I gotta used that...

hope this happens. Just another reason for me to laugh at dana white and Joe rogan. boxing>mma and for people saying roy wins boxing. silva wins mma. people forget, silva is trained in everything. Roy isn trained in mma at all. still though, silva is going to feel a big difference when he get his by a boxer. I really hope this happens :fingersx: it does sort of need to happen, just because no past it mma fighters have been to boxing before, but past it boxers have failed at mma, people need to realise though, a boxer cant fight mma just like a tennis player cant play golf .. we cant say which is the better sport, its impossible

Why Roy Jones? No offense to Roy fans or to Roy because I'm a big fan but is this so if Silva loses he can say he got beat by a has been?
