If the fight were to happen I'm not sure if RJJ would KO him early. I think if they were to fight, RJJ would embarrass the shit out of Silva by showboating nonstop dodging punches, landing fast shots. THEN RJJ would ko Silva in the mid rounds after messing around with him for a couple of rounds. This would be the easiest fight of RJJ's career.
I think it is obvious Roy Jones would ultimately win the fight by KO. Boxing is a much more complex sport, and you cant compare boxers to MMA fighters. Boxers have so much more skill and its a given that this Silva character would not be able to even go all twelve rounds with Jones.
Dana white blocked the fight because silva is under contract for the UFC
I'm sure he also didn't want one of his best talents exposed like he would have been too. White is no fool.
Dana White talks such a big game, but is such a pussy. I find it hilarious. He claims that the best fight the best in his sport. yet, when one of his top athletes TRULY wants to do that (Randy Couture), he threatens to sue them. When Anderson Silva actually tries to prove that his sport has the better fighters, he blocks the fight from happening. What a fuckin' cunt.

and the fight is off
really? what happened?
And im surprised Jones was only a 25-1 favorite, thought it would seriously be up there in the 50-1 range, no joke. I give Douglas a much better chance of beating Tyson in that time period, then a 1-1 boxer against an ATG. no exaggeration
