    Roy is a good fighter but most would say he has been past it for a good 5 years. Diaz doesn't excite me. Silva excited me cos he's the best at his weight.

    Ah Cote ????? When is Nick Diaz boring ? Hes been apart of some of the most kickass MMA fights ever what Anderson Silva fights are as good as Diaz vs Parysian or Diaz vs Sanchez or Diaz vs Gomi or Diaz vs Lawler ?

    Why don't these MMA guys ever challenge a boxer in they're 20's? If Diaz is serious, why not challenge Pavlik, Dawson, or someone like Jermain Taylor? They'll have him eating through a tube for a few months.

    Yeah well look at his opponents he has been fighting. They are basically put there so Silva can just lay an ass whooping on them.

    I like Nick Diaz, I like both him & his brother Nate but he wouldnt be able to compete in a boxing match with Roy Jones, no way, no MMA fighter could.

    It works vice versa too, boxers would mostly lose in MMA fights vs MMA fighters.

    These guys are artists & these are completely different arts, stick to your own **** or you could get hurt.

    Anyway, Nick Diaz main strength is BJJ, not boxing, he`s a brave boy & a true warrior in his own field but it would be a silly move to fight RJJ in a straight up boxing match.

    Hey Pat Miltech said Diaz had elite boxer skills. Why not? RJJ is no longer elite.

    Diaz is not an elite boxer. Roy would make him look stupid.

    lol thats ****in funny. About an hour ago I was watching a Diaz fight on HDNet, and was thinking to myself, this guy would get easily beaten in boxing by any average mid range guy. Roy Jones though? even if its a washed up Roy who should be retired, he would destroy and embarass Diaz. I would enjoy seeing it.

    Diaz got out struck badly by MMA/boxer KJ Noons I don't think you have to go any farther then that to say Diaz wouldn't beat an upper echoleon boxer. I really like Noons but he isn't the boxer RJJ is.

    KJ Noons isnt even the boxer James Countryman is. And hes an undercard fighter whos appeared on Friday Night Fights.

    And KJ Noons absolutely embarassed Diaz on the feet.

    So no Diaz wouldnt beat an upper echelon boxer, he wouldnt even beat a mid-level boxer.

    If MMA'ers want to earn respect, challenge the best, not RJJ. Go after Chad Dawson, Tomasz Adamek not some 41 year old who got brutally embarassed by Joe Calzaghe and is now fighting Omar Sheikas of the world.

    Exactly. UFC fighters look ugly as all Hell punching. I saw some of Bisping-Hamill(?) earlier, the punching was so primitive I was sick. I looked better in street fights as a child.:lol:
