FIGHTHYPE \\ CONTENT

Anderson Silva once said in his PRIDE days that he was the Roy Jones Jr of MMA :P
But in all reality if you take away Andersons legs and his grappling ability away from a fight there's no way he beats Roy.
Judging by the article there is legitimate interest on both sides.
BTW - Check out the end of the article for a good little laugh. That guy can't be serious.
Jones would knock his ass out
Dana wont let this happen. Sillva would get KTFO in rd 1 and UFC would lose all its credibility.
In a Cage rage event I saw Anderson Silva rocked during a trade in stand up by a guy from London. Anderson immediatly took it to the floor and won on stoppage on the ground a minute or two later.
In a completely stand up battle, Silva is beaten by many in BOXING OR MMA.
jones would knock him out
if its just boxing, jones will win. if its anything more then just boxing silva kills jones within a minute.
two diffrent sports!
Bad idea. On the off-off chance that he beats Roy it would lend legitimacy to MMA. That being said, Roy pummels Silva if this happens, if Roy is serious about taking a championship run he shouldn't take the fight. Dana White likes having exclusivity; he doesn't like UFC fighters doing anything anywhere else so more than likely it won't happen anyway.
Whole heartedly disagree.. MMA guys ALL MMA guys are rocked in stand up ALL of them just about in every fight..Quote:

Its like saying I saw Lou De Valle knock down Roy Jones so most would dominate Jones in an exchange.
Exactly.......roy would blow up silva in boxing, just like tiger woods would probably beat peyton manning at golf. Who cares.Quote:

You know what he really wants?

That's what he really wants and he knows fighting RJJ will get him that. Much much more then what he'd make in a MMA fight. ;)
Exactly. I'd love to see it happen but no way would the UFC.Quote:

Thats bullshit. In a pure boxing match Jones would beat Silva easy.Quote:

Yup agreed. Even this version of Jones wins a boxing match and Silva obviously wins early in an MMA matchQuote:

I'd seen this a few months ago. I instantly thought that Silva wouldn't stand a chance. Then I saw the footage of him sparring at Wildcard... The guys pretty smooth on his feet.
Plus Roy is shot to pieces... Sounds like a fair fight.
Guys this was two years ago, I really doubt Anderson Silva wants to fight him now he's been knocked out by Danny Green and beaten by a 44 yearl old Hopkins.
He's p4p number 1 in the world in MMA, why would he want a fight with a finished fighter? He gets nothing from the victory and only embarrassment from the loss.
Even a completely shot Roy Jones JR boxing a ufc fighter would be an absoloute massacre
1minutes work - done

UFC guys cant box for shit, sure some hit hard but they have zero defense. Even a shot Jones schools Silva. Silva wouldnt be a top 10 LHW in boxing whereas a shot Jones still probably is. If Bhop cant KO Jones, Silva aint gonna do it.Quote:

Actually after watching Andersons last fight, he can run pretty good as well. Maybe he can beat Usain Bolt as well lol
Watch Sliva training at Wild Card, he has the skill imo. Don't get me wrong though, I'm a huge Roy Jones fan, but at this point, I just don't see it..Quote:

Silva would be quicker to the punch, with a lot more movement than Jones...gotta keep in mind too, that Silva is in his prime, whereas...well you see where I'm going with this.
This has been going on for ages over a year, he said when his contract with the ufc is up he will make the fight with RJJ! Im kinda disapointed i was hoping Mayweather wanted to fight him. lol ;D
I can see Silva doing this just for money. UFC fighters get paid fuck all compared to top level boxers so he has called out the biggest name who is he least likely to hurt him in RJJ. So what if he lost if he made 5 times what he did in a usual UFC bout.
i think even the old roy jones would kick his ass in a boxing ring, if anybody saw anderson silvas boxing match, he was having a hard time with a bumb
