Anderson Silva in a BOXING match...

[TheGreatA]

The best part was when he did the Ali shuffle and got tagged for it. Trinidad did the same against Hopkins.

Yeah this is interesting. He has his pro boxing debut in 1998, and his pro MMA debut in 2000.

It looks like he tried his hand at boxing first.

I don't think it was a serious attempt at having a boxing career but rather an opportunity to get a paycheck.

Silva was not great at MMA early on (some embarrassing losses on his record), it's only recently that he has started dominating.

There's a recent video of him sparring on youtube. He looked decent in it. He threw great combonations, but he pulled a margarito and had no regrads for defense once so ever.

One of the best things about Anderson Silva is his chin, I've seen him take some big punches and not seem affected by them.

Not impressed. Fluid motion and decent body shots. But he was in there with a bum, didn't seem to have TREMENDOUS power and was relatively slow.

Not impressed.
