Not sure if people are up on there MMA fighting, but Anderson Silva is no joke. I'm a Roy fan and I saw his last fight, I was not impressed. My money is no Anderson.

mrxltough

MauriceD

HaHaDaVille

Roy has brain damage from those 2 knockouts!!


catnaye

Oh hell to tha naw! I dont usually post but Silva is one bad azz. He dont even have to be close to you to knock ya azz out. And he's fast.

Love Roy...but ummmm he may be in over his head on this match up! This will be a must see....



tsp119

As long as this is just a boxing match Roy wins, but a straight up fight Roy is getting knocked the hell out!!!!!


Jensanbelle

Yawn!!


OldOtisSupreme

I HOPE SILVA BEAT THE FOCK OUT HIS AZZ


NVDdark1

i doubt this happens


wardollar

ROY WILL BE FORCE TO LEAN BACK AGAIN!!!!ANDERSON IS GOING TO MURDER HIM!!!!!


AutumnRedd

I agree Wardollar. I can't stand Roy's arrogant azz.. He is gonna get dealt with and will retire. Anderson is gonna show him who's the real pound for pound fighter is.. uuggggghhhh I can't stand him...Party at my house when this fight takes place


mightyc42

Roy Jones would win that one. He is a boxer boxing a mixed martial artist.

now if it were in the octagon, I have no qualms with admitting Roy jones would have his ass handed to him.


Champ1

Y'all can't be serious to pick Anderson Silva to beat Roy Jones jr in a BOXING match under boxingrules? LOL that's some funny [EXPLETIVE]. Roy Jones jr would destroy Silva in a boxing match just like Anderson Silva would destroy Rjj in an MMA fight. It's two different sports. No MMA fighter can beat a wordlclass boxer in a boxing match and any boxer wouldn't have a chance against MMA fighter in the Octagon under MMA rules. The only reason Silva wants to fight Roy in a boxing match is because of the money. silva would most likely make at least a couple of millions. Silva has never seen that type of money before. Sure he'll get KO'd but he still makes more money in that fight than he'll ever make in MMA.


360

No Doubt mightyc42!!

MMA boxing skills are straight trash PERIOD. Silva will be destroyed by RJJ in the boxing ring. Otherwise a boxer has almost no chance against even a mediocre martial artist.


MrToken

GIVE HIM WORK ROY WITH THAT TACO MEAT!!


Roni

Anderson Silva will KILL his ass!!! This is ALL ABOUT MONEY. Silva has the meanst elbow strikes in the game! I would LOVE to see this spectacle in person though.


CertifiedBanger

Roy sit on down.


YOUNGHECTIC

that would be raw footage!


esotericdredz

This is absolutely stupid....MMA and Boxing are two totally different skill sets...

If they fight under boxing rules, Anderson is getting carried out on a stretcher, even with Roy being over the hill....

If they fight under MMA rules, Roy is tapping out in minutes..

If Anderson can't throw knees, elbows and choke a cat, he's not winning.


Champ1

@Roni

elbow strikes?....It's a BOXING match not MMA.



BIGGURLCHASER

jones dont do it son all it takes is 1 punch


Tahall713

Yall must didnt read this sh!t right. this straight up boxing. Hand to HAND combat. All that kickin and elbow sh!t is out. he gotta fight Roy staight up boxing. "He's aight but he's not ill" Realize this Roy held the title for ten years. he lose 2 fights and now everybody turns on him. Haterz never prosper. ROY gon clown the sh!t out this dude. This ain't under UFC or MMA rules. 3 minute rds, hand to hand for 12 rds.


Stpdamadnes

Can't say nothing bad about Roy, that's my N***A!


HaHaDaVille

Silva is trained in Mauy Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, AND he also used to box(look it up if u dont belive) He only fought twice and was knocked out in his first match, he won the second against Julio Cesar De Jesus whom he knocked out!!!!!


NicNasty032

Roy is going to get remodeled by Silva. He doesn't have a chance.


Revolution

Do not sleep on Silva until you see the brother fight. He can stand up with Jones no problem. And if Jones wants to get into MMA, than Silva would murder him on the ground. (and this is coming from one of the biggest Roy Jones JR fans in the world) Silva all the way.


KINGJACOB1

ROY IS WASHED UP AND DEPERATE HE WOULD TAKE ANY BELT HE COULD GET HIS HANDS ON LOL HE JUST MIGHT LOSE


Theylyin

Roy will loose after one good kick in the face lol


mskiki

ug[SPAM] look at that taco meat!!! hahaha


360

Ok so Silva had SOME experience as a boxer. Put that against a lifetime of training and learning the craft of boxing and Silva is out of his leauge. I like MMA when it's some truly skilled opponents fighting each other but as far as the hand skills it's a bar brawl with sloppy wide arm punches. MMA is nothing without kicks or holds or elbows it's the core of the sport.


DougFlutie

Roy goin whip his ass. he cant win in Roy's arena


blacksun

I wouldn't pay to see this...

Roy would beat him...Silva has height and is a good striker. But without the kicks, Roy would get him.

Silva would win a MMA-rules match, though.


POLITICK

All bullshi*t aside> Roy is deadly, BUT ANDERSON SYILVA WILL SMASH DAT BOI; BEFORE ROY COULD EVEN THINK ABOUT THE LEFT HOOK. (BELIVE ME ROY'S CAMP CAN'T BE THAT DAMN STUPID TO LET HIM GET FU*KED-UP LIKE DAT)..........Anderson Syilva is the BEST FIGHTER ALIVE PERIOD.


mrmokelly

You guys thinking Silva would win are silly. The rules would be BOXING...not MMA-style. So all the grappling and submission techniques mean nothing.

Royce Gracie had a similar ploy calling out Mike Tyson many years ago. It's a money-grab for the MMA stylist.

There's no way a non-world class boxer beats a world class boxer in a boxing ring.


X-Factor06

Anderson will finish Roy hella quick.... Anderson is a beast when it comes to striking. Boxing or MMA, my money's on Anderson...



illslogic

That mixed martial arts sh*t ain't gonna work with a straight up no special effects knock you the fugg out boxer like Roy Jones. Anderson won't be able to do all that phaggity azz kickin sh*t so Roy will beat his azz like a rag doll hands down. I'm willing to bet my life on that sh*t. I know about Anderson and I know for a fact that those MMA dudes ain't no real deal boxing muthafuggas so he's gonna make his himself look real stupid when Roy beats the dog sh*t out of his azz. I can't wait to laugh at this dummy. I respect his guts to gamble with his reputation though.


illslogic

Anyone of you stupid muthafuggas who even think that Anderson can beat Roy obviously don't know a gatdamn thing about boxing. You get impressed by that bullsh*t azz MMA and ultimate fighter bullsh*t that you're out of touch with reality. Reality is, Roy Jones is gonna beat the living sh*t out of this dude if this match every actually happens. Floyd Mayweather will even beat the fugg out of Anderson. Ya'll talkin about striking, LOL!!! Get the fugg out of here with that bullsh*t. Chances are this muthafugga won't even be able to get a lick in on Roy. Roy will kill this fuggin dude. Mark my muthafuggin words you dumb asses. Ya'll don't know sh*t about fighting and that's sad so therefore ya'll are obviously the pu_ssy types who like to pull guns and sh*t. Roy gonna beat snot out of this ni_gga.


Rarestgem

Roy Jones, Jr. is 1 of the sexiest men on earth. and I am a huge fan. He is a 39 year old boxer with 52 wins (38 knockouts) and 4 losses. What does he know about take downs, knees, sweeps, and holds? On the other hand, Anderson Silva is 32, skilled in Muay Thai, and has a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Yahoo Sports ranks Silva as the No. 1 pound-for-pound mixed martial artist in the world. The Spider is younger and faster. His record speaks for itself. He has won 21 (12 knockouts) and lost 4. They are experienced in two different styles of fighting. Even with the training, Roy has bitten off more than he can chew. There is no way that he can be prepared in time.


mrmokelly

It is obvious people don't read. The proposed fight is a BOXING match, so MMA experience is moot, if not a liability.

A Black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Karate, and a gold medal in wrestling wouldn't help Silva.

Please learn to read people.

IN A BOXING MATCH.


Rarestgem

To date, Anderson Silva has only fought in 2 boxing matches. On 5-22-98, Silva was knocked out in the 2nd round by Osmar Teixeira in Uniao da Vitoria, Brazil. Then on 08-06-2005, he knocked out Julio Cesar De Jesus in Ginasio Antonio Balbino, Brazil. Ailva is 6'2" and weighs 182 lb. but Jones is 5'11" and weighed in at 169.5 lbs in his last fight against Trinidad. Are Silva's 2 boxing matches along with his MMA experience going to be enough to hold his own or win against Jones in the ring? Does younger necessarily mean better? Will Jones show that he he still has what it takes? This will be 1 BOXING MATCH I don't want to miss.


capri

THATS GONNA BE A HOT FIGHT!!! CANT WAIT TO SEE IT IF IT REALY HAPPENS!!


catnaye

@illslogic and Mrmokelly

obviously yall do not have the love for mma as i do as well as many others. Just b/c Hoya, Mayweather and Jones are trying to save boxing doesnt mean mma will completly takeover. Its ok...it's just a whole 'nother arena! Boxing will still be there so dont hate...on mma..it's all real and there is nothing "[EXPLETIVE]" about it. I mean is the way they can pound and ground and break bones that have ya all hot and bothered? It's enough room for 2 big dogs...MMA just happen to be the top Big Dog as of now!

Hey everyone's entitled to their opinon weather you like we have to say or not....Anderson doesnt get in the ring and play that "psyhic" Bullshyt like Roy does..while he's doing that Silva will be laying his azz out! He's faster, younger and has a longer reach! Even if he doesnt knock him out...Roy will get a run for his money and give Anderson that respect! And that's what it's all about..putting that money where their mouth is....Anderson aint skerd! AND I SEE ROY DIDNT CHALLENGE HIM ON HIS TURF IN THAT MMA RING NOW DID HE.....HAAAAAHAAAA BEOYCHES ROY NOR ANY OTHER BOXER CAN GET ON THAT LEVEL!!
