Great Roy Jones Jr./Anderson Silva article

Silva (mma's equivalent to Roy Jones) was recently KO'd in a shocker of an upset.

Incidentally, before he was KO'd Silva was discussing a boxing match against one Roy Jones.

I feared Silva could beat Roy even in a boxing match or make it humiliatingly close due to Roy being totally shot and so merciful in recent years as to let anyone go the distance with him.

IF they do indeed box maybe Roy will be inspired by the recent KO loss of Silva and put some mustard on his shots.

*please don't be cocks and bury this in the mma section as it very much pertains to boxing, thanks*

Don't smiley face palm me.

ROY WON'T THROW FUCKIN PUNCHES!

Especially when he fears someone is faster than him and due to multiple KO losses, his chin is pretty poor these days.

He's 44, shot, and extremely gun shy.

I'd pick him to beat Silva in a boxing match what with Anderson's whopping 1-1 pro boxing record from 10 years ago, but still I'd be weary as you cannot depend on Roy these days. He proved that against the powder punching unknown Polish kid.

The way your speaking im going to assume that you never seen mma guys in the boxing ring. Guys that are monsters with their hands in the ufc like silva and vitor, look like little kids with no power or skill in the ring. Its embarrassing, they can barely get through guys that are fighting for sandwiches. Roy would destroy him, and any guy that beat roy out of his prime would destroy him. Andersons punches would offer no power, or speed, or skill, boxing is a whole nother level of mastery, for christ, even jeff lacy would kick his ass.

THis is the thing that really annoys the shit outa me about the whole Boxing VS MMA thing. It was around two years ago when there were talks of Nick Diaz going up against Jeff Lacy in a boxing match.. The fight almost got made until Nick Diaz pulled out like a pansy.

It's unbelievable how so many so called boxing fans predicted that Diaz would win.. That's just stupid..
