Three years ago when it was first mentioned yes....right now hell yes....in Roy's prime...HELL NO! In his prime Jones was one of the greatest boxers in history.
Roy Jones would beat the hell out Silva in boxing match right now. In his prime he could play cat and mouse as long he likes and choose exactly the round, the minute and the moment to administrate to Silva a brutal KO, sending him to sleep. Hell, as much i love MMA, so ashame i am seeing how delude some MMA fans can be. If we talk about a striking match, then of course much more variables come in the game and many things change. But in a pure boxing match, this is the stupidest fantasy possible to imagine. To be fan of someone and to be a nuthugger are 2 completely different things. I saw nuthuggers having hard time to admit Silva would lose to someone like Ernesto Hoost in pure striking match.
