Anderson Silva, Roy Jones Jr. start campaign again for boxing match

[Wild]

Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather is far from being a done deal, but two fighters are already campaigning to face each other in the co-main event of a possible event.

Former boxing world champion Roy Jones Jr. suggested on his social media on Wednesday that adding a bout with former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva to the event would make it the “biggest event" in history.

Jones Jr. and Silva wanted to face each other in a boxing ring for years, since the Brazilian’s days as 185-pound champion in the Octagon, but the UFC was always against the idea.

Oh my goodness........Lol
Aren't they both pretty much counter punchers?

 

[Tiiimmmaaayyy]

I would love to see this match.... as long as we all had a time machine and we could hop in and go back about a decade.

Roy is feeling strong after KOing Bobby Gunn. This is basically the circus tour to pay bills portion of his career.

It would be the boxing version of Severn Vs Shamrock 2.

Could potentially send boxing back to the pre queensbury rules era.

However Id like to see Roy Jones get paid. Hes always been one of my favorite boxers.
