As I expected..."Dana White won’t permit Silva-Jones Jr. fight"

Silva is a quick relflexed athlete with a great punch .... My granny knocks out Jones and she has NO pro experience (except whooping me at age seven for peeking at little girls huhahs in her basement)....so what would prevent Silva from an early KO...nothing....even three years ago when first proposed?.

 

I see Silva having a fair chance of winning a boxing fight against RJJ of now.
If RJJ was in prime i would give Silva no chance in hell but considering how ****ing shot to hell RJJ is it wouldnt shock me if my brothers son who is 6 could KTFO RJJ

 

His Chin is dried horse****. What a disgrace!

 

That is praising him to high

 

+1

 

My thinking was the same when I brought this up originally a couple of years ago.....but most thought Silva would get destroyed...it was not about boxing skills or Silva's lack of boxing experience....it was about athleticism, confidence in the combat sports competition, reflexes, Silva's incredible one punch power and Jones' glass chin....in reality Anderson would have knocked Jones out early.....made a lot of money and propelled him to greater superstar status.
Now of course its meaningless.

 

Your not the only one to subscribe to that way of thinking, the Popkins Doctrine is not a point of veiw that I agree with. it takes away a little something from the greatness of MMA in my opinion.

Besides, Anderson Silva has already fought in boxing, and **** load of fighters have already "jumped" combat sports.

"Just sticking to MMA" is a rule that has been broken even before people were calling it MMA. The Popkins Doctrine might one day take effect if Zuffa contracts become a necessity to compete in MMA. But I dont wish for that day. Instead, I want to eventually see MMA fighters test themselves in the individual arts that they train in, even at the highest levels. Otherwise mabe we should just call them "ultimate fighters", since they are not really mixing martal arts but just fighting under a newer martial art.

Anderson Silva has been training boxing about as long as he has been competing in MMA, but Silva started fighting in muay thai(supposedly he had a record of 40-2). None of that matters though because as it turns out one of the biggest supporters of the Popkins Doctrine is Dana White, and He gets the final say.

Dana says no. And that's that.:verysad:|:verysad

 

your out of your mind prime mike tyson, and rocky marciano would kill mediocre mma fighters your completely irrational. atsch

 

Nice vid mate. Silva takes some solid head shots at 9 mins. The sparring is pretty decent, the guy he's sparring is either pretty limited or is holding back. It would be interesting to see Silva sparring with someone of a greater calibre like Hopkins etc. I'm guessing he would get carved up.:!:

 

RJJ would absolutely hand Silva is ass inside a boxing ring, Dana won't let it come close to happening.

 

RJJ is a shot shell of his former self and ANYBODY who can halfway crack is a liability to bust his Glass Jaw, and you should know that from Roid's hilarious result against Danny Green!:roflatsch
