I think it's fair to say Fury and Rahman were legit too.

But it didn't happen! Close, but no cigar!

Nobody said anyhting about it happening or not, I said Fury and Rahman were legit. At the end of the day I'm right and the fights falling through had nothing to do with Paul.

Silva lost his first pro fight in round 1

You guys are in for a big surprise

"Da Silva"is a different name and he's never been referred to as that. Looks like a mix-up.

But regardless it has no connection to this ridiculous show against Paul soon. Silva is taking all the risk.

It's him though.

On the one hand:
Silva is 47 and has been knocked out numerous times

On the other hand, he's actually a legitimate striker unlike anyone else Jake has fought:
3-1 in pro boxing, 2 KO, plus an unscored exhibition fight
34-11-0-1 in pro MMA, 23 KO
1-0 in pro Muay Thai, 1 KO
UFC Middleweight Champion, ten successful title defenses
Black Prajied in Muay Thai
5th degree black belt in Taekwondo
Yellow Robe in Capoeira

Woodley was a college wrestler who knew just barely enough striking to get by in MMA. Silva, on the other hand, has been practicing striking martial arts since he was a small child.

Well HOPEFULLY this happens! Until then, he gets no props from me!

I'm open to evidence if there is any. Everything I've ever seen about that alleged fight is a reference directly from Boxrec, and as accurate as they are they also got wrong info on the site as well.

His legal name is Anderson da Silva.

Why no props though? He's making a valiant effort to secure a legitimate opponent people want to see.

His legal name is Anderson da Silva.

Right, but he's been referenced as Anderson SIlva. It's a common name too, did you know there's even a world class kickboxer also named Anderson Silva?

Like I said, I'm open to any evidence. But all his biographies state he did muay Thai and MMA in the 90s sparsely not boxing.
