Roy Jones Jr-Anderson Silva Boxing Match in The Future?

[patrick_p]

I saw Anderson pro debut and even though he won it wasnt impressive. He is a world class Muay thai (he was going to fight Cyril Abidi on k1 a few years ago) and mma fighter but in boxing he doesnt stand a chance against a shot Rjj.

Roy Jones Jr-Anderson Silva Boxing Match in The Future?

Regarded as one of the most technical fighters in mixed martial arts, UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva, is still craving a potential fight with former four division boxing champion Roy Jones Jr. The fight had been talked about in the past - several times. Silva's UFC contract seems to get in the way of the fight actually being made. UFC president Dana White is willing to entertain the idea of the fight, but only if Jones fights Silva in the UFC ring - under MMA rules. Silva says the fight will happen once his contract runs out with the UFC. [details]

I didnt think silva was thinking about ending his mma career so early
Specially when he is the p4p best in the sport

Gets his ass kicked against jones jnr with boxing gloves on under the Queensbury rules
if this was a MMA fight Jones head would get kicked off...

I like Anderson Silva as an MMA Fighter... But to fight RJJ in a Boxing Match?? He will be out of his element. RJJ has to much experience in Pro-Boxing.

i'd rather see Roy Jones vs. Kimbo Slice...
at least we know one of them is going to get knocked out.

I reckon Jones would carry Silva for a bit then look for the ending..

But its an exhibition bout isnt it?

[KJB]

Surely Silva isnt finished with his mma career just yet

He has more fights left on his contract with the UFC. I cant remember exactly how many, but no, he isnt done in the MMA world yet. If this fight happens it would be down the road a bit.
This fight has "brave or ******?" written all over it.

Dana White is gay... period.

Silva wont be destroyed or trashed by RJJ. Honestly, I dont think that. I think Silva has all the right stuff to win this fight. When it comes right down to it, Silva's only disadvantage is experience in the ring. Silva doesn't have as many fights in the ring as RJJ does. However, he has the neccesary skill set to beat RJJ.



I wonder what excuse will come up from all the people who say RJJ will win. If RJJ is KO'd.
