    Exactly. :good a complete no brainer.

    However, I think silva had a couple of four round boxing fights and was, as expected, despite mma credentials, just novice level as a boxer.

    Horses for courses. Put spinks or a good boxer in an MMA Fight with a great MMA fighter and the boxer would be as horribly disadvantaged as silva would be boxing a good or great boxer under boxing rules.

    Michael Spinks would destroy him in a boxing match. Anderson Silva is a great boxer by MMA standards but by boxing standards I think he be a slightly above average pro at best......

    That guy that knocked Silva out was using crappy boxing. Just feinted and threw a combo, and Silva couldn't get away. Just sad.

    Silva turned pro as a boxer and was knocked out in his pro debut. You can look it up on boxrec.

    All these MMA clowns have glass jaws. Spinks would shatter this guy's china chin early - very early.
