Roy Jones "Anderson Silva is the Best; I Love UFC"

[princemanspoper]

in his prime RJ would knock him stiff, in a ring or octagon.

these days silva is knocking him out, even in boxing. roy doesnt have one tenth of the ability he used to have. he might still beat silva at boxing with that. but the real problem is he mentally doesnt have it no more. ever since tarver KOd him hes been gun shy. he doesnt let go of his hands, and just stands there in front of his oponent trying not to get KOd without fighting back other than in brief spurts. with his reflexes gon he gon get tagged, and as soon as he does he will go into his shell.

Are you reall that ignorant? Andy Silva wouldn't beat any cruiserweight in the top 100.MMGAY guys constantly try their hand at boxing and they always fall at the first hurdle,Why? because the talent pool in boxing is far superior to that of MMGAY.

Roy jones has a much better chance at beating silva in a mma match than silva does at beating him in a boxing match

omar sheika would have tooled silva in a boxing match

Hops was 1-1 and one time..

hopkins also got his backside back in the gym and worked his backside off to become a success in boxing.It took a while but he got there,Andy silva was content with MMGAY and it's limited talent pool where he had enough skills to be a top fighter

do you think that Anderson Silva could beat the best kickboxers in the world?

Top level kickboxers that tried boxing:
Ray Sefo

Mighty Mo (got his jaw broken)

Mark Hunt(won the Grand Prix in K-1 in 2001, which is basically the kickbxoing world championship)

I wouldn't say Silva could beat none of the Top 100 at this moment, but clearly against the most he'd got beaten.

And why? Silva chose in his childhood to make himself a complete muay thai fighter, afterwards he has added very respectful BJJ in his arsenal. And yes, these two things truly need skills to master. He hasn't done all the boxing training RJJ has and by that he's incomplete as a boxer comparing to RJJ.

But hell, has he trained? All the time, living in a way of a martial artist.
I respect boxing, my roots in fact are in boxing. Never competed, but boxing related things have stood as a one of my hobbies for over ten years, and I happen to appreciate also people who do different fighting methods.

Very true. I love mma and have followed it for a long time, but you would never see a 3-1 (Brock Lesnar) Heavyweight champion in boxing. Boxing is a much harder sport than mma. Randy Couture is an mma legend and Hall of Famer who has a win percentage of 64%!! Boxing has been around too long and has way more talent. It's going to take mma awhile to have the kind of talent pool boxing has. All this talk about boxing losing fans to mma is BS. I follow both and as a true boxing fan I will never turn my back on this sport. Bottom line RJJ's is better at boxing than Ando is at mma. Sugar Ray Robinson>Anything anyone in mma has done

you forgot..... Vitali Klychko!!!!!!!!

Very good recall. If he had turned to an MMA fighter about ten years ago, he could have been the most devastating striker ever, ant the one who couldn't been put on his back.

Vitali with his fighting mentality, strength, power and skill would absolutely murder Brock Lesnar of today, having had ten solid training years (or six if he still had the injuries) in MMA.

Im not sure what youre trying to say with that.

I dont know exactly how far Vitali got in kickboxing, but I know he got fairly far in it before he even started boxing...and he did lose in the amateurs about 15 times.


so at the height of his kickboxing career, he was still considered amateur level in boxing.

[UnDeniable]

Spider is the best mixed martial artist on the planet and the Roy Jones of MMA but he don't want it with the real Roy Jones, he'd get tooled

[ßringer]

Roy's entitled to his own opinion, but I'm sure his comments are mainly stated with the intention of drawing further attention to his supposed showdown with Silva on the horizon.

I hope he takes it and embarasses Silva, but something tells me he'll go easy on him and it will end up being a glorified sparring match.

Truth be told even a 75 year old Roy Jones beats the piss out of Anderson Silva in the boxing ring.

How you want it, son?

However it ends, Silva will show true respect for RJJ stating him as one of his greatest heroes. And if he couldn't even touch Jones, he will honestly admit it, Anderson Silva is a true class martial artist.

Roy would sell his soul for a buck. Hes always been about the flare and the dollar signs so this isn't shocking.

I guess you forgot that pro boxing is a business.
