Richard, there was no post, but we were talking about it in this post in replying to now..

Funny, i watched Pride 25 tonight, and Anderson was saying how hes the Brazilian Roy Jones, and hes still talking about it today lol.

I would give Silva the edge in anything but boxing against Roy, things like mma, kickboxing, even a footrace hehe.

one argument boxing has in its favor is that they train a very small portion of combat sport (punching, avoiding, and footwork) and it is much easier to get real good at one thing rather than a bunch of things. the way i think of it is you take a really good soccer player and you take an NFL kicker, the soccer player is most likely the better all around athlete but i doubt he would break fieldgoal records his first year playing. just my 2 cents.

i would like to see Anderson fight a boxer, i dont think he would do horrible but someone like Roy Jones Jr would pick him apart. the last time i remember getting into a boxing match was Roy Jones Jr vs. John Ruiz for the WBA heavy weight title, and the reason i was into it was because Jones was so small and Ruiz was so big it was 195lbs vs. 225lbs and Jones picked him apart and made it look easy. if that Roy Jones fought Anderson Silva in a pure boxing match i would have to give it to Jones. other than that i dont really know enough boxers that are good right now to make a good assessment.

Okay okay.. BV is right St. Patrick… there is no way in the world Silva could beat Roy with those huge gloves, no knees, no prolonged clinch, no ground game, no elbows, and having to wear shoes would throw him off, Roy has great head movement, a good chin, and he is more comfortable with “hands only” fighting… I also think if I were Silva, and would stand to make… what… 20million on one fight, yeah I would do it, screw the UFC, hehe.. they pay like 100k per fight and could def. pay the big paydays but they just choose to shortchange their stars which is a shame, but hey if I were Silva I would fight the BIG SHOW full contact just for the 20mil.. haaahhaha

ya hes past his prime, but Silva never had a prime in boxing lol. If he had time to train, he might be able to beat real boxer, but not jumping right to fighting a guy like Jones.

Its a whole different game man, Silvas arms would be jello fighting a 12 round fight, especially against a guy like Jones. He knows how to make you tired in a boxing match man, hes just got too much experience.
