"After my contract with the UFC ends and end my career in MMA, I intend to have a boxing match with Roy Jones. That’s something that’s already been arranged, it’s all practically a done deal. Now I just have to wait and see."

UFC middleweight champion Anderson “The Spider” Silva seems to be merely biding his time until the completion of his UFC contract to finally test himself in the world of professional boxing. “The Spider” first mentioned his interest in the sweet science after he dispatched of Dan Henderson at UFC 82: “Pride of a Champion” in March 2008. And there is perhaps no boxer who has accomplished more in the sport in the past decade and a half than Jones Jr., although he could be considered past his prime despite winning four of his last five bouts. Is Anderson getting too big for his britches? Or does he have the stuff to hang with the boxing legend?

Anyone who votes Silva should take a gun to their head and pull the trigger. Spare the gene pool.

Rjj by Late KO, i dont think Silva can manage 12 rounds of boxing...

Hahaha, I know RJJ is a pure boxer and all but Silva was also a pro boxer at one point in time. Silva wasn't all MMA. He was a boxer, then turned muay thai, then turned MMA. Soo, I think Silva has more than enough to bring it to RJJ.


Then you add to the fact that RJJ is shot to hell. His natural abilities are drained, and he never used his brain to box. So, I dont see RJJ winning this one. Racking up consecutive L's means you need to retire with the quickness.

Its not his first time boxing so yes. Like I said before. The man has fought in the ring with boxing gloves on before. It wont be a slaughter like all the MMA-haters think.

98% of the MMA population is ******. Silva is part of that 2% that throws proper punches and uses proper footwork. Hence not being ******.
