Roy Jones Jr.-Anderson Silva Talks Begin

[Miki Nakayama]

Most MMA guys have horrible boxing, but there is more to striking then just boxing.

If Anderson was allowed to use kicks, elbows, clinch and knees, Roy would probably after to retire after the beating he takes. Silva would put him in the Thai Clinch, and destroy him like a little kid. People who have trained Mauy thai for decades still have trouble breaking a good clinch. No ref would step in to stop it either.

Boxing isn't the definitive striking art form. It's the best and most powerful way to turn your hands into a brutal weapon. In boxing, Roy beats Silva's ass all day long. But don't get it confused. Only in boxing does he have a chance.

WTF? I wana see Chuck Lidell fight Silvia more than Rjj. I like the crossover between the sports, but lets be honest here. Silva is doing it to get paid and Jones will be doing it to slap MMA in the teeth. To anyone who gives Anderson Silva even the slightest of chances in this boxing match is dillusional. Silva vs. Lidell needs to be made and it will break all MMA PPV records. Dana needs to listen to me sooner or later. Jones needs to get ahold of Glenn Johnson after he beats Dawson. Or, fight Calzaghe. I mean fight the winner of the Hopkins-Calzaghe fight. LOL

ummm no that doesn't need to happen cuz for 1, it won't break ppv records and for 2, silva would destroy liddell. silva-st.pierre or silva-rampage would be huge with both guys having a chance to beat silva plus I think one of those would have a chance at breaking ppv records. liddell isn't that much of a draw since his 30 second ko loss to rampage and decision loss to jardine.
