Roy Jones wants Anderson Silva.

[Snakefist Ar Fu]

I can see the fight selling well because it would draw mma and boxing fans. I would favor Andersen to win at this stage in both fighters careers.

It would be more interesting if he took on Chad Dawson, but it seems fair to choose a past prime Roy Jones seeing that Andersen isn't known as a pro boxer and is not so young himself.

As far as boxing goes I dont think Anderson has a chance. However if it was MMA then Roy Jones would not have a chance. Look what happens to people in the ufc when they come in with one skill. They loose and have to learn other styles in order to compete.
A proffessional boxer has a massive advantage over an MMA fighter in a boxing match. Boxing is only a part of an MMAs training.

Silva is going to get smoked. The man lost to some Texieria and then went running to the UFC. A shot old Roy Jones would destroy this Silva guy.

Well, I see why Silva wants a boxing match with RJJ. Finally he'll get a million dollar paycheck. They don't get those in UFC. But out of all the guys in MMA I think Silva has the best chance to crossover to boxing with decent success. RJJ at this stage makes it interesting but I think he still is too much for Silva. But we are talking as if the fight is next month. This fight may end up being late next year. RJJ is only getting older and losing it more and more. I'd pay to watch because Silva is not a bad boxer at all and of course he is not going in with intent to outclass RJJ. The longer the fight goes the worse it would be for Silva. He must get him out of there. And that is what MMA guys specialize their boxing in.

YESSSSSSSSSS! DAN HENDERSON IS FIGHTING SILVA NEXT! After Hendo has smashed his face in and is the new UFC middleweight champion it will make for an intresting fight. An old Roy Jones Jr will beat a damaged Silva!

Henderson may have earned his shot against Anderson but he has no chance of winning. Anderson silva will wait till he sees an opening and exploit it as usual. The only person I see with a chance of beating him is Lyoto Machida. I thought Reshard and Machida had a technical fight but against Anderson Silva. That would be the best fight seen in a while.
I dont think they will fight though as they train with each other.
The other great match is obviously Brock and Fedor. Hate Brock and would love to see him loose again (will not happen though as Fedor signed with strikeforce).
As for Roy Jones. Love to see hin fight the Klitchco's. He would probably loose but at least he would come in with a few tactics, unlike all the heavyweights that have fought them.

Almost as silly as his costumes....jones wanted calzaghe too and we saw how that ass whooopin turned out. Till you can beat the people in your own sport how bout leaving other sports alone jones. I'm not even positive this guy will beat lacy.

Agreed...at this point Jones should worry about the btask in front of him...he has looked sad in his last few outings win or not.....

They should bill Jones Lacy Battle of the has beens

Silva beats Machida too if they ever met but because they train out of the same camp they already stated they will not fight....Silva has already stated he wants to move to 205 but will not fight for the title

The only fighter other than Machida that would have a chance of beating Silva would have to be GSP. Silva does not like getting taken down even though his ground game is reasonably good, I think that is his weakest area. GSP can take down the best.
Who in the UFC would you match with Anderson Silva?.

Right now not sure really...Seems most of the 205 div is in a transitional...Chuch on his way out...Forrest seems to be slipping the last few bouts....Rashad is bu8sy with ultimate fighter and has Rampage to worry about.....Ax Murderer is done......

Silva has beaten all there is to beat at MW....

i LIKE THE IDEA OF THE gsp MATCHUP...SIZE IS THE ONLY WORRY i WOULD HAVE ON gsp BEHALF......Truth is GSP may soon have to move a division as well because he has beaten pretty much all their is to beat at WW....

Sounds like the only option. If there was a chance to get Fedor into the UFC hes small enough to move down to light heavyweight. That would be a great fight.
I would much rather have him fight Brock. Not because it would be a better fight but because I just want someone to shut Brock up.
Sorry but I hate to see a fighter diirespect his opponent after a match.

Agreed I would love to see Fedor shuts Brocks trap.....Lesner has always acted like a jerk in public

[Puerto Rican Punch]

This goes back to questions like who is better the boxer or the martial artist. It surely will have its drama and will catch the attention of the public. For those who asked where is this taking their careers, it will be more money... I guess they will have to agree how they will fight, punching and kicking or only punching. I don't feel they should be allowed to fight on the floor and I don't think Jones is crazy to accept that.

Going back to the boxer vs. the martial artist, I believe kicks should be allowed and the fight should be with hand (10 oz) and feet gloves, no floor fighting, no legs kicking... Throwing to the floor may be allowed since they will have gloves and it will make be little bit more difficcult... Just my opinion on how the fight should be if it occurs to have it last for more rounds and be more entertaining.

[ElTerribleMorales]

after seeing how Jones looked last night, i'm pretty sure his ass got tight, don't see this fight happening especially with boxing rules only, Silva gets beat up just as bad as Lacy did

the last 2 comments are so friggin idiotic... Shall I remind you what Silva did to Henderson last time out? Henderson got caught in a rear naked choke. I like Hendo and he is one of my favorite 3 but he stands no chance against Silva

Who is the dumb shiit who brought up Texeira? So boo hoo Silva went to the ufc and went on one of the most dominat runs in MMA history
