    Vitor Belfort became a boxer for one night.... if he would have stuck with it, he probably would be a decent contender... Vitor had good speed..

    ever since his big talk about wanting to fight RJJ in a boxing match...to prove that MMA fighters are just as capable as they are in the boxing ring and not just animals in an octagon...

    i doubt he's making a boxing transition...he probably just wants to work on his striking...

    From reading the artitcal I think Silva is trainging with Roach to improve his MMA skills rather than becoming a boxer.

    I love Silva, hes the greatest striker in MMA ever..Has good hands and footwork.. against a seasoned pro? probably gets Koed as of now.
    hope Roach can help him

    Silva`s got no business in a boxing ring.
