    Will we see Roy Jones Jr vs Anderson Silva on the Mayweather McGregor Undercard? We've heard about this fight for years but could the opportunity be presenting itself with the Boxing vs MMA theme of Floyd vs Conor.

    Only in boxing. Boxer vs MMA Fighter in a boxing match. An MMA fighter in a boxing match vs a legend boxer is a special right of passage. Unless the boxer is incredibly athletic and adaptive, they are going to get schooled by an MMA fighter in a Cage. But in a boxing match the MMA fighter has more of a chance. As a boxing fan I'm not saying that most MMA fighters would beat most boxers in a boxing match, but if MMA fighters started boxing some of them would beat some boxers of different levels. Like I really respect Conor McGregor for dedicating himself to boxing to make this Mega Matchup. A lot of people seem to be really hating on this fight, but like this is the first time we've really had a chance to make history in a Boxing vs MMA "Boxing" Event. For an MMA fighter to fight boxer, he's got to become a boxer and compete in a boxing match. You can't expect a boxer to fight in a cage, that's much harder to do than for an MMA fighter to become a boxer.

    For RJJ vs Silva, it's gonna be a sparring session with a lot of showmanship because it's a Dream Fight for Silva.

    It would be at boxing and as such just as likely to be a farce as the main event would be.

    We would also get a surprise exhibition fight between Randy Savage and Shannon Briggs, but now they're looking for a replacement option.

    This boxing vs MMA is ridicules, I hate this match! Why not have baseball vs football and Hockey vs Golf when we're at it?!

    I hope nobody buy the ppv so we never have to hear about this bs again.

    How soon before we get Pirates vs Ninjas, with the undercard consisting of midgets vs blindfolded clowns? They could put a pile of nerf bats in the ring, with the twist that ONE of them has an iron bar inside!!!! Do the fighters waste time trying to find the deadly bar, or do they just start swinging? Decisions, decisions ....

    :rolleyes:

    Hey I actually like that. Maybe have one 150kg dude against 3 50kg midgets or something. I'd rather see that than Mayweather vs McGregor

    Joke of a fight, might as well have a joke of an undercard. Gosh, I hope this doesn't offend Oscar's delicate sensibilities. :lupie:

    Has Roy ever been knocked out by a Brazilian before? He's been knocked out by a Welshman, an Australian, a Jamaican, a Russian, an American, and an Irishman in the amateurs so it would be a nice notch on his belt if he could add a little South American flavour to that.

    That was one useless MOFO of a sumo wrestler. Just too big to even manoeuvre the win on the ground.
