Boy, can Anderson Silva box!

For an MMA fighter he's boxing and moving just beautifully.

 

I thought there was a seperate sub-forum for homosexuality. How did this end up in General?

 

Man, I really hate when people call someone's opinion stupid, which happens all the time here. You're welcome to any opinion you want, correct or incorrect. So I won't call your opinion stupid. I couldn't disagree more, but I won't say it. Here's the thing man ... we're not basing Anderson's boxing skills on his mma ability, as in your FMJ example. We're basing Anderson's boxing ability on watching him box. He's not a good boxer based on watching him box. Is PBF a good MMA fighter? I have no idea. probably not, but I don't know, I've never seen him do it. Is Anderson Silva a good boxer? Nope, I've SEEN HIM BOX. He's not good.

Now back to the opinion thing ... yours, regardin Kelly Pavlik, related to Anderson Silva, is very incorrect. I'm sorry, I know what I just said, but your entire view is absurd. If Kelly was a bad boxer who simply had power he would have lost by now (at MW). He's been the best MW for a couple years and that's not just because Anderson Silva never laced them up against him, it's because he's a hell of a boxer.

 

You can't just say "Pavlik is SOOOO CLEARLY not skilled as a boxer. He is light years behind anderson." Based on what? Your opinion? So we should follow your common wisdom like sheep, but no one else's? Because based on everything I've seen, Kelly Pavlik is a much, much better boxer than Anderson Silva. But is it cool if I develop my own opinion, or am I to only agree with what you write?

No joke, but have you ever watched KP box before? Seriously?

Why are you quoting Roach? We're coming up with our own opinions, remember? We're not basing them on someone else's thoughts, that's sheep-like. Also, do you think you're the only person here who likes MMA? I don't, but I'd say at least thirty percent of the board is big on MMA. You don't know anything that anyone else here doesn't already.

 

Jesus...that guy hes in there with has the worst technique I've seen since Butterbean!

He stands flatfooted, his hands are down and he is slow as ****...and he still manages to catch him a bunch.

Silva is a beast in MMA, but he better stay out of the boxing ring.

I've seen where him and RJJ want to fight, and I think even with RJJ as shot as he is, Silva has no chance of winning. lol

 

That was ****ing crazy. SIlva can really box, he got his opponant right mentally. Then the rest was a breeze.

 

Silva is a beast in MMA, The guy is constantly improving! Good stuff

 

The other guy looked like Chris Byrd. Silva was so so. He threw a lot of arm punches but when he did sit down on the straight left he did damage. It was just sparring and I feel Anderson took it easy on him. If Anderson used the left more he would have embarrassed that guy. The other guy was impressive too he landed some bombs. He had the harder shots and an ok jab just could not adapt to Anderson's movement and angles

 

the other guy was a bum and was gassed after one minute ffs, did they pull that dude in off the street and ask him if he wanted to spar a UFC champ?

 

I didn't see anythig particularly impressive. Yeah he moves nicely and times his punches and hed movement well, but I've seen guys better than that in every gym I've been in. Has the threadstarter not boxed before, cos to say someone would be a top 40 in the WORLD based on that sparring session is ludicrous in my opinion.

 

he looks good

i'd give him a chance to beat current state roy jones

 

hes the best mma fighter out right now. and the fact he goes to wild card with freddy to (i assuem) work on his striking shows how smart he is.
