Anderson Silva is proving that boxers can survive in UFC/MMA

[larrysmithx]

Sorry if this is wrong section but basically im saying that Mayweather, Pacquiao, De La Hoya, ... hell any dam boxer can survive in MMA if they good enuff ya dig

Anderson Silva is a good boxer, but compared to the best in the boxing world he basically cant tie their own shoes. And watch this fight, none of it was on the ground, all of the fight was toe to toe and just like a boxing match with some kicks too. And you all think Mayweather wouldnt last in this sport....I seriously beg the differ!

Thats what i have been saying, anderson silva's win here is suppose to be his career defining win, yet you could have put any legitimate boxer in there and he would have done the same thing to forrest griffin.

If brock lesnar can become a ufc champion off of a solely wrestling background then a boxer can become champ off a boxing background

You two are very ****** human beings.

If you put any boxer in there, with the exception of Kermit Cintron who was an elite HS wrestler, they will get taken down to the mat and beaten until they are a) near death; or b) saved by the third man in the ring.

You don't know **** about the sport, have never insomuch as trained a single day in your pathetic lives, and approach the ignorance level of NASCAR cheapseat fans.

Anderson's boxing dominates in MMA because he has amazing muay thai to back it up and a very dangerous ground game to back that up. It's not because he has good boxing. It's because he has good boxing topped off with amazing muay thai and BJJ.

Also, a wrestler has a better chance at becoming more successful than a straight boxer. The boxer has the ability to take the fight where he wants, if he wants to keep it standing he has his takedown defense, if he wants to take it to the ground he has his takedowns. The boxer's only chance is to keep it standing, if if they can't do that then they're screwed. That's the difference to the LEsnar/Mayweather argument, and it's not that a great boxer can't bcome a good mixed martial artist, but it's easer for a good grappler to take someone down than it is for a straight boxer to keep it standing.

You are a very ****** person who is blinded by your ignorance.

An elite boxer against a top MMA like griffin will always have a punchers chance, which proves time and time again is a very good chance.

When you look at championship fights in the UFC with the exception of a few fighters most are won standing up. For example, if you put someone like roy jones jr. against anderson silva roy would probably knock him out, because lately silva is so determined to win by striking.

Im not saying a boxer wins every time, but the fact a fight starts standing up will always give a boxer a very good chance to win.

i think that a more aggresive style boxer would do good in mma
like tua, lol hed ko the **** outta lesnar

Not necessarily, the reason griffin wasnt trying to get in close to kick, and take him down, is because silva is so deadly with the knee's, if a boxer was in with griffin he would take the boxer down straight away and try to pound him...Its different
