Anderson Silva wants to fight RJJ

[Redd Foxx]

I want this fight to happen so much..
I love freak show fights and was so bummed that kimbo vs roy fell apart..

Roy vs Silva would be a huge ppv probaly do over 1 mil buys because of mma fans and boxing fans both buying it..

Even an old shot roy could beat Silva.. Mark it down

Yea, Jones would still beat him. I just wish Silva had the balls to call out someone like Ward. Calling out a guy 20years past his prime while you are holding a belt is just weak.

RJJ was done yeeears ago.. It was sad to see him dropped by chumps.. Beating Roy proves nothing these days.. Sad sad sad..

Great how Jones says he can beat up Mayweather (who's only 50 pounds smaller and much shorter) and Silva wants to fight RJJ now -- but not yeeeaaars ago when he competed as a boxer.

MMA logic.....

I say to hell with Silva starting at the top. Let him work his way up like everybody else. Let him beat a lightheavy boxer rated in the top 40 in the world. If he wins that fight, which I seriously doubt he would, then let him fight Roy Jones. Of course the final decision is up to Roy Jones. Roy Jones is just a shell of his old self which is probably why Silva wants to fight him instead of Ward or Hopkins. If Jones want to have some fun KOing Silva then do it.

That would be a great way to retire for RJJ lol

Roy toys with him then goes to visit Narnia when a punch lands


Anderson has ALWAYS wanted to fight Roy. This isnt news at all. Iirc he was trying to do it years ago too

I think it's funny that he called out someone with chin problems well past his prime. Even still...if you look at Anderson Silva's boxing match on youtube...he sucks! He's a terrible boxer and if Roy does his chicken moves, he'll freeze Silva like he froze Champion fighters.

All of this.

If I recall Dana White said he would do everything in his power to keep this fight from happening. People can say what they want about White but that was a very SMART move on his part and I respect the hell outta his business mind for that lol.
