Roy Jones Jr.-Anderson Silva Talks Begin

[DuttyAlacrity]

Jones and boxing have everything to lose. I'd be pretty pissed if all I heard from my friends was about Silva winning. And none of them would know **** because Roy Jones hasnt been great in 5+ years, but he's going to be advertised as boxing's best.

That's a real Good point

its a no win situation for boxing and RJ.... beating a guy with a boxing record of 0-0 doesnt prove anything.... on the other hand, should the impossible happen and silva KO's jones, boxing looks ******....

You're right guru. It's a no win situation. Roy should either retire or fight the better fighters out there but not this circus. To be honest, I really don't see them mixing it up. I think both would feel the pressure from their sports and not want to be embarrased. Then I see Dana White saying that's why MMA is the more interesting sport.

Forget that Roy and fight Miranda. He's looking for an opponent now.

Roy is taking a tune up fight before he trys for calzaghe hopkins

Whether it be some beyer guy over in germany

Or a high profile Silva fight


Might as well make some cash with a tune up... although I feel it IS a risk.

silva by submission

That could happen or the reverse could happen. A MMA guy beating a boxer will only add to the hate that boxing gets from TV. People will say boxing is a joke and boxing is dead. If Roy wins he was suppose to win, if he loses he gets clowned for it. NO win situation for Roy.

It's the same dumb **** Floyd is doin. Gettin paid 20 mil to wrestle some big ass white guy. Roy is kinda doin the same thing. how is it a joke? Ali did the same thing and so did Holyfield.

a record of 1-1

Jones better be carefull with this one. Do u know the embarrasment he and the boxing world will endure if Silva knocks Roy the **** out! Silva's stand up game is pretty good, and he has a long reach, along with good power. This is very risky for Roy.

Floyd is participating in a staged acting gig. Roy and Silva will be throwing REAL punches!

Silva is a good MMA fighter, but a boxer?....RJ kills him. These MMA guys (most that I have watched) aren't very good at stand up fighting, most actually look like a green amatuer boxer.
