    Is it just a circus?

    Would Dana White even allow it?

    Would Jones blow out Silva in a boxing ring?

    MMA or Boxing?

    Either way its not PPV material really. They win their respective sports with absolute ease.

    Boxing rules in a 10 round bout inside the squared ring.
    Silva has publicly stated his desire to fight Jones and Jones in turn has acknowledged an interest in a bout with Silva.

    It won't happen, but if it did Jones would beat Silva i'm really surprised that Silva even suggested having a boxing match against him. And Dana wouldn't allow that because he knows what the result would likely be.

    Jones wins but I think Silva might survive 10 rounds.

    I doubt that. I think Jones would stop him for sure.

    Of course jones would win in a boxing match. What if it were under k-1 rules. Silva via domanation.

    Normally I don't doubt that but I reserve my doubts on the fact I haven't seen Silva box(except spar vs Nog) and RJJ hasn't been that great lately(only last fight he looked good/decent).

    A washed up Jones would still clobber Silva inside three rounds.

    silva wouldn't survive 10 rounds in a true boxing match. just like jones wouldn't survive in an MMA match. they only thing that might be even halfway close would be a K1 style fight, but jones would still get pwned.

    I would watch it, of course. I would like it better if all strikes were allowed.
