Silva would have a chance against Roy.

Not saying he would win, but where he is in his martial arts skills, and his ability to see strikes coming and avoid them, is high level in any fight sport. Especially if he tires out Roy like Joe Cal did. Silva via late KO.

Honestly at this stage in Roy's career Silva could beat him rather easily.

Silva is no ordinary athlete and he does have boxing experience.

The fact that he is a tall southpaw just like Tarver would help.

yes he would have a shot in the first 2 rounds IMO

Co Sign punchers chance thats it

I think he'd get throttled

Roy doesn't have it in him anymore he covers up at the first sign of danger. I only see him beating Silva if he can land an effective counter shot but at 40 he's lost alot of speed and reflexes.

Roy's best chance at winning comes early. Think the first round of Joe Cal vs the last few rounds.

Roy Jones via KO within the first 3-5 rounds

Roy just beat Jeff Lacy's ass apparently. Not surprising. Embarrassing that it was a PPV though

Roy jones would make Silva look like griffin looked against him.4rd K.O.In MMA rules Silva schools him.

I think, since speed is the main thing to really look at in this fight, Silva shouldn't be dismissed so easily. RJJ has the ability to put him away early, but with every day that passes, the speed and reflexes drop little by little.

I think i still got Roy in a boxing match...

Roy in my opion was never a heavy power hitter his speed was his biggest strength with his punches in bunches. Now he is alittle older and slower so that gives Spider a chance but hell be real just because he whips up on a guy like Forrest doent mean he can box with Roy. Roy by UD in my book.
