Would you buy Silva vs Roy Jones on PPV

:huh

 

Translation:

Obviously, who would want this fight to take place anyways. It's just stupid.

 

Dana White won't allow this fight to happen.

 

I would buy it. I would want to see a K1 type fight though. But id pay no matter what the rules.

 

I'd prefer to see Silva box a more legit fighter. If he really wants to prove his boxing skills, which is admirable, then he needs to go for someone like Joe Calzaghe.

I've seen Silva box, he has some moves but leaves much to be desired. I think it was v Nog I saw him box.

 

You crazy if you think RJJ is not "legit fighter" for Silva in a boxing ring...

 

no kidding!

 

Don't take what I said out of context. I said "more legit". I explained what I meant. Silva is arguably P4P best, RJJ is no where near such a title.

 

I never buy PPVs... but sure heck will watch it

 

What does Silva being MMA's arguably best p4p have anything to do with boxing?

Who you want Silva to fight? Really? Hopkins?
If he wants to prove his boxing skills he doesn't need to beat the best. That's a ******ed notion.
RJJ is top10 at light heavy. We're arguing here if Silva can survive 10 rounds with RJJ(which is 1-5% likely?) or not. And you're talking about upping the competition a bit.

 

roy jones is a bad match up for silva in a boxing match. i know from watching silva sparring (videos) and his fights, that he knows what boxing is about...you need good defense and offense. he isnt **** in the boxing department no doubt.

however for a guy who has probably never had a boxing match, he chose the wrong guy to make his debut against:> simply cos roy jones is too fast. anderson may be able to live with his skills with a boxer like like trinidad (MAYBE) I BET IM GONNA GET SLAUGHTERED FOR SAYING THIS. but against a fast powerful fighter like jones jr MAYBE NOT!

in a boxing match jones will probably win by ko BUT YOU JUST NEVER KNOW.
in a mma fight, anderson silva wins, BUT YOU JUST NEVER KNOW!

 

I don't see how Dana White would allow one of his champions to compete in a boxing event outside of the UFC. Unless the UFC is going to promote this on Pay-per-view or Spike TV - it is very unlikely that it will happen any time soon.

Someone correct me if I am mistaken, but wasn't there a time when Anderson Silva was called the "Roy Jones of MMA"?

I would not buy a pay per view to watch this contest, but I would go over to my buddy's house to watch it as I am sure he would buy it. I have to give the nod to RJJ under Marquis of Queensbury rules. As stated above, a K1 rules match would be much more interesting.

 

I'm talking about arguably the best of each sport meeting, end of.

Silva can box, no doubt about it. To what level remains to be seen. He hasn't clearly outlined his intentions yet. Does he want to show he can eb the best boxer? Does he want to simply show he can hang with a boxer?

I think too many are underestimating what MMA can do in boxing and vica versa. These guys are athletes and fighters. If trained well enough they could do well.

 

Well, I don't what his intentions are but RJJ would be a VERY serious competition for Silva in a boxing ring especially with the style he has.
