Silva.. Silvya, same ****!! You act like we keep up with these bums or know who the **** they are. It was an honest mistake. The only fool here is you, you are too dumb to realize it though. I don't even think your mother likes you.. please do the world a favor and kill yourself!

Yeah, Tim Sylvia, a 6'8" 265 lbs. American white guy is the same as Anderson Silva, a 6'2" 185 lbs. Brasilian black guy. If you don't keep up on this topic or follow it, keep your mouth shut instead of embarrassing yourself in the thread. You call me a fool and then say some 12 year diss at the end of your post. Hypocrisy is a ***** huh??

Actually KJB, Sylvia said he wanted to fight in K-1, kickboxing, and Jerome Le Banner was discussed. Not professional boxing. Get your facts straight. Fool.

Oh, and Killa Right, your sig is way off. Richard Schaefer and DLH said Merchant was mistaken, and Merchant publicly apologized. Golden Boy invested over 5M into that event, it was the other way around. Hate can blind you.

Seriously some of the anti-MMA comments are just unreal:

"only once & a while I see a good KO in MMA. Otherwise its a couple of guys in speedos rolling around on the mat ******ing each other like a couple of alter boys TAPPING each others ass. I'll take boxing anyday."

"I would love to see a 47 yo beat a prime UFC fighter in boxing"

"If its a straight 10 round boxing fight Mercer will kill him even at 47. I hope he hurts that sylvia clown. mma sucks"

"what's with this dude wanting to box? I remember he called out Roy Jones and Dana White didn't let him fight, but now he lets him fight Ray Mercer? what a joke. He also has a sparring video where he is trying to shoulder roll and keeps getting tagged to he face! hahaa"


"Silva.. Silvya, same ****!! You act like we keep up with these bums or know who the **** they are. It was an honest mistake. The only fool here is you, you are too dumb to realize it though. I don't even think your mother likes you.. please do the world a favor and kill yourself!"

You so-called Boxing fans are disgrace to both Boxing and combat sports in general, the same way how anti-Boxing MMA elitists are a disgrace to MMA and combat sports.

And I'm definetly sure guys like George Foreman would agree with me.

Embarrassed much???

MMA sucks but Sylvia will win in 1 min.

This whole MMA vs Boxing argument adds nothing except a bunch of fanboys on both sides throwing tantrums at each other.

The only sort of realistic existance of a feud between MMA and Boxing is PPV buyrate/TV rate wise but that's about it, there's no way you can pit a boxer against a grappler and call it MMA vs Boxing since it's basically an MMA fight and or have them fight in a boxing rules fight and call it an MMA vs Boxing fight since it's basically a Boxing fight, the same thing applies when you put a grappler against a kickboxer. MMA stands for Mixed Martial Arts, and Boxing is a martial art. To compare both is just ******.

It's not as if all MMA fighters are elitist jerks to Boxers, Quinton Jackson is a boxing fan, Vera looks up to Pacquiao, Diego Sanchez chose to train conditioning with DLH, Gomi said he wouldn't last against DLH in a boxing match, Frank Shamrock said on Inside MMA he only watches boxing and does not watch MMA outside of what he broadcasts. He goes on to mention how superior boxers standup is and that there is only one, possibly two MMA fighters in the world that have strong boxing skills. Boxing stars sang praises for MMA as well Ray Jones Jr, George Foreman, DLH, Manny Pacquiao, Suger Ray Leonard and even Mayweather Jr after that whole issue of him bashing the sport years ago. Howard Davis Jr. trains MMA now. He's also helping MMA fighters with their Boxing over at American Top Team. He has a great deal of respect for the sport.

It's not so hard to like the best from both worlds, people. I've been a boxing fan longer but I also appreciate MMA and think it's a good combat sport. I'm definetly sure that old school boxing legends like Jack Dempsy would've showed better appreciation for MMA.
