    Could Anderson Silva beat Roy Jones in a boxing match?

    At this stage I would not bet on Roy to beat anyone. I'm picking Anderson, Roy is so shot it's ridiculous that he is still fighting

    Silva can punch with either hand with knockout ability even while backing up. Roy has a questionable chin.

    Do you mean can Anderson fight for three minutes?...the answer is yes....Do you mean Roy protect his chin for three minutes?....the answer is no.

    I would still pick Roy though it has become a shaky pick. How about Hopkins-Silva instead?

    Silva is 1 - 1 in boxing against bums. And nearly got knocked out whilst attempting the Ali shuffle :rofl

    I hope there isnt someone in a parellel universe asking if RJJ would beat Silva in MMA?

    Does it really need answering? And if you are going to put up such stupid posts you need to put prime RJJ vs Silva or RJJ of today.

    YAWN

    There is a poll in the MMA side just to see the contrast of comments and picks.
    Prime RJJ vs Silva is irrelevant because that can never happen however the likelyhood of that fight happening within a tear is very real.

    Current version of Roy can probably still win. Prime Roy... no comment.

    That's the key - these MMA guys are often impressive athletically, but throwing for 3 minutes and sometimes 12 rounds is a different animal. That being the case, if Silva so much as touched that chin, Roy would be in deep ****..
