lol anderson is 1 - 1 in pro boxing he failed at it so he went to mma were the striking is alot easyer.

[Shogun Assassin]

Yes.

Starting at 8:55, an amateur begginer boxer bangs his head in with some HUGE punches.

You tell me if that's a good indication of his skills.

Imagine him in with Haye. Haye KO 1.

That doesn't count.

Cunningham would put on a boxing lesson before knockin him out.

I respect Silva and he's my second favorite MMA fighter behind Rampage Jackson. Usually I talk shit about MMA fighters, but there are a select few who I respect, but with that said. Silva would get sparked against any top 10 cruiser weight

What I want to know is why Silva hasn't called out GSP? Is it cause Pacquiao showed GSP a few moves Pac would beat Silva at 158

Silva couldn't beat a decent amateur, let alone a top 10 cruiser. Funny stuff...

I like Silva as much as anybody in MMA and he's arguably one of the better boxers I've seen there, but he's fighting guys who don't have a fucking clue how to box to the point he knocked somebody out with a jab whilst moving backward. A top 10 Cruiser weight would toy with him then knock him out.

anybody know who hes working with in there?

Fuck no, he would get torched. He's got great striking in MMA, but in pure boxing he'd get picked apart.

He went straight back and dropped someone with a glass draw who was off-balance, not super impressive.
