Yes I'm a real person who respect Silva and his obvious talents and toughness. Some of you talking like he'd be an absolute bum in boxing and I don't think that would be the case. Some of you are talking like the man has shown a soft chin as well, when the guy has showed a lot of heart and tremendous toughness over the year's. You look at his pointless boxing matches from a life time ago and slag him off, giving him no chance. Silva is hard as hell, tough as nails and a very talented fighter and natural athelete. I wouldn't be suprised if he took up boxing and cracked the top ten in the cruiserweight division at all. The division sucks and Silva is the greatest striker in MMA history. Man's a beast and a proven fighter.
Doesn't matter. Silva is the greatest striker in MMA history and the idea of him beating the number 10 cruiserweight in the world after a few fight's is not shocking or laughble to me, like it is to some of the boxing nuthuggers. The cruiserweight division is garbage.
And what have you seen in Silva's MMA career to suggest that he'd get KO'd in the boxing ring so easily? He's regarded as having one of, if not the best chins in MMA history. It's the same whne peope talk about Silva getting whooped and Ko'd in pure Muay Thai or kickboxing. I think he'd do fine. Theres this idea that Silva is just the best MMA based striker and I dont agree wiht that. I reckon the guy would do fine in Muay Thai, Kickboxing and boxing and wouldn't get blasted out by amateurs and nobodies in the those sports. Its obvious from watching his MMA career than the man is a natural born athelete, extremely gifted, tough as hell and a REAL fighter.
Guillermo Jones is ranked #9 in the Ring rankings, you think Silva mma atgreatest striker in history has a chance against this master Boxer named Guillermo Jones(the black one)? :think [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT6hM45BJQI[/ame]
What because Anderson Silva has great athleticism he would just beat a top 10 guy after a few fights in boxing, what you are stating or supporting is an insult to any top50 cruiserweight that is currently active. Anderson Silva is an MMA fighter not a boxer, i cant see someone athletic or not just waltzing into a different sport and beating up a top10 ranked boxer after a few fights, it just isnt happening.
I know who Jones is. Will never forget his fight with Jonny Nelson. After a few boxing matches under his belt I'd like to find out. He certainly wouldn't get blown away in a minute like some idiots are saying. atsch
