Jones would annihalate Silva with speed and punching power alone in a boxing match. From what I've seen Roy is most dangerous when he is confident and ahead in the fight.
Then there's his experience, skills and technique etc. Jones has probably lost a step or two but he is probably light years ahead of Silva in the boxing ring.
IMHO, the boxing match would embarrass Silva and his fans. I would love to see Roy fight box again though.
I think Silva should stick to MMA. He has 10 fights left and he's close to 40 years old. I would like to see what he could do at 205. Lots of good match ups for him there.
I agree. Now that Silva lost the belt, he should try LHW. Although I think that there is going to be a rematch with Silva and Weidman. I would have like to see Jones Jr and Silva participate in a boxing match. It would have been entertaining even though I think Silva would probably lose.
You're right, of course, guys. It's two different sports completely. Jones destroys Silva in a ring, and I mean "badly", even today's Jones. But in an octogon, it's the exact opposite.
If the boxing Silva vs. Jones boxing match does happen. I think it would be a really light-hearted fight with both guys whiffing punches while wearing full headgear.
Here's an exhibition between fedor and aoki with Russian Sambo rules (I assume).

Silva ducked it and is fighting shot Rampage Jackson instead.
Jones would have knocked him out btw even though jones is about 0.1% of what he was in his prime
Jackson is fighting Tito in Bellator. It's going to be a sloppy fight.
There was a rumor floating around about Rampage fight Roy Jones but that didn't pan out obviously. Jones would wreck him because he's waayyy too slow.
The Rampage and Tito is a fight that I won't pay for. Bellator has to be out of their mind to put a card on PPV. Their numbers on free tv are okay not great, so do they honestly think anyone who is going to buy a PPV with two aging MMA stars who haven't had a win in a while.
