Comments Thread For: Roy Jones Jr: UFC Won't Allow Anderson Silva To Fight Me

[////]

Silva knows the MMA version of boxing is a joke inside a real ring. Roy would stomp him, even at 45. Hell, I think even I could beat the **** out of Silva inside a ring. I'm a beast, been training for 10 years, straight up Tyson boxing.

The MMA version of boxing looks like a joke to sheltered boxing fans because they don't seem to grasp that you have to make some adjustments when you are constantly being kicked and tackled.

Unaltered "sweet science" doesn't work in a completely different sport without being altered to resemble more of a muay thai stance, and a lot of confused boxing fans see this and think it's "sloppy" or "wrong".

FALSE.

I have seen MMA fighters at my gym, as well in actual fights live/tv, and it is clear that striking is not their forte (OF course DUH). But it's not because of their talent level, it's because most of them literally specialize in ground work and those are the arts they specialize in and come from.

A boxer's primary art is striking so of course they'll always have the advantage over MMA fighters.

Switch the script, and most boxer's have little to no ground game at all and would get stomped inside an octagon.

And again, their boxing is sloppy and lazy.

There are actually MMA fighters where striking IS their forte. Yes there are wrestling and ground specialists, but there are also many strikers that transition and/or take up MMA where they grew up/came from a striking-based martial art (boxing. kickboxing, muay thai, karate, etc).

The fighters in your gym or what you saw on TV (because I have seen live fights where the striking was superb) doesn't prove the point that "their boxing is sloppy and lazy".

Cool story. Hey. You should find him, call him out, and fight him. Lemme know how that goes
