Roy Jones Jr Heads To The UFC To Scout Anderson Silva

[Pecs]

Yeah that much smaller guy was only the greatest ufc fighter in history chump. Boxers have kicked ass in K1 and UFC. No UFC *** ever has or will win in boxing. That was the original point of the poster if you knew how to read. You brain must be damaged from having to many guys squeeze your head in between their thighs during "training". wink-wink.

What's wrong with you? I was only answering back to the person claiming that the one glove boxer wasn't a professional boxer which in fact he was.

I appreciate both sports dude.

By the way, i wouldn't consider Royce Gracie the greatest. He is in the hall of fame and a pioneer of the sport, but not the greatest. MMA has progressed so much in terms of fighters cross training.

Warriors from early UFCs like Ken Shamrock, Royce Gracie couldn't catch up when they try to make a comback. Of cos there is also the age factor.

Anyway, it will be cool to see Roy Jones in a UFC event.

Roy will beat Silva. Those MMA fighers are a bunch of idiots, they have no technique.

Haha, how would Roy be KO'd by Silva? you seen Silva box? He aint nowhere near RJJ's level


Ignorant prick

*sigh*

This is where you lose.

The answer is in my sig.

A. Silva actually has a very good striking technique, watch his under-a-minute demolition of Chris Leben and you might get the point. He has also written a book about striking in MMA.

However, it's not going to change the fact that he will lose badly to RJJ in boxing match. If he somehow gets a win it could be one of the greatest shocks ever.

Some of them are good strikers, most of them are not, which is quite understandable because no one is going to dominate nowadays with just one discipline.

yes I saw the Leben-Silva bout and agree for an MMA fighter A. Silva has very good striking, however he's also very good with his legs + knees as well, 2 weapons he won't be able to use in a boxing match.

true Silva would be a huge underdog, and an upset would be quite shocking.

regarding the potential Jones-Silva boxing match however this just occurred to me.

I know Silva wants to box vs RJJ and thus the reason for the fight possibly happening

but what weight would it be at?

Silva's MMA fighting weight as of late has been 185 (Middleweight) although his fight tonight is at 205

and Jones Jr. has recently been fighting at Light Heavy (175)

so considering all the weight between 175-200 .. is it safe to say that a Jones-Silva bout would take place in that weight range (of above 175 but less then 200?)

No wonder this guys banned...cant even read a post properly lol

A journeyman would beat Silva in a boxing match, while Silva would own any boxer now in an MMA match, probably.

I credit roy for crossing over! Great move from a $ pt of view.

Anderson silva would make more money in 1 fight with roy jones than he has in ufc in 4 fights. Great move from roy to make a cross over. He better beat lacy.

[khepesh]

but what weight would it be at?

I have heard rumors of a catchweight at about 180 pounds, can't say for sure though. Silva has fought at 170 in the past, if I remember correctly.

[adobostreak]

i wonder what Roy thinks now......... Anderson had a crazy KO

[TheSurgeonMDMPH]

i wonder what Roy thinks now......... Anderson had a crazy KO

I knw, right!

This will be big in the sports world now. Does Silva have 1 or 2 more bouts under his contract?

I'll by this ppv!!
