If Roy Jones fights a standup MMA fighter who should it be?

What rules?

 

Silva I guess, because he's the P4P champ in the UFC, but to be honest, I dont see boxing gaining any popularity from this, and what would happen if by some off chance RJJ gets knocked out or it's a closer fight than expected, then boxing turns into a big joke to some. I just dont think it's a good idea, there's little gain in it for boxing and could turn into a bigger risk when you start having guys in there like Jones, who's well past his prime, and is starting to show a real unstable chin anymore.

 

If under MMA rules, then the MMA fighter goes to the ground, and it all over for the boxer.

If under Boxing Rules, then the boxer would more likely win...look at that YouTube film of Tommy Morrison throwing correct punches on the big Pool Hall fighter and it is quickly lights out for Mr. Budweiser.

I don't think Roy would risk his chin in such an exhibition, but I doubt if an any equal weight MMA fighter could beat Jones under Boxing Rules.

 

In a muay thai/kickboxing match Anderson and Cung Le would beat him, especially Le in a San Shou match. He beats Chuck in any kind of standup fighting though.

In a boxing match he schools them all.

In an MMA fight they all school him.

 

I never said Roy would get knocked out by Silva, but why take that chance if you dont have to? RJJ is expected to win/dominate, so where's the gain for boxing? A little publicity, maybe a decent paycheck for Jones, but is it worth Jones possibly getting caught with something ****ing around/show boating like he always does, I dont think so personally, but I guess everyone sees things differently.

 

Doesn't really matter he wins every one of those fights.

 

Honestly, I think Jones would whoop his ass. But I wouldn't want to see this. Silva should fight Jackson and move up. Or fight St. Pierre in a catchweight. Jones should fight Taylor or the winner out of Hop vs Calzaghe. MMA is done I'm sorry, but all their star got there asses whooped. And they need some type of promotion. Kimbo is the only true attraction. But I respect Couture, Jckson, St.pierre, Lesnar, and Silva

 

man, liddell vs jones would be a match i might fork over to watch on ppv.. it would b my first mma ppv purchase if it were to happen.

 

:rofl

What happen, that what I'm trying to say if those are your attraction the sport is done? You agree?

 

Lesnar and Kimbo are sideshows, not the main attractions. That's like saying Bob Sapp and Zulu were Pride's main attractions.

The UFC still has great fighters, guys like Anderson, GSP, Randy, Rampage, Penn, and Fedor. Other orgs as well.

 

Sideshows :rofl , Ijust don't like the sport. I tried to get in to it, but it just not the same ass boxing. I rather watch Winnky vs Bernard and Whitaker vs Anthoney Jones all day. Then that ****, but I do look on the internet to see results
