    This is ridiculous, just cheap talk by Silva as he knows he won't be allowed by White to do it ( though he'd probalby go for it because of the huge $$$ it will get him ). White will never allow it cause it will hurt MMA badly for the mainstream fans as Silva will be made to look like a major clown. At least, if they made it an MMA match, they'll be some intrigue as Jones, especially given Silva style, would have a chance to koed him with his far better hands and overall stand up ( Don't get me wrong, I'd expect Silva to bring him down and choke or g&p him, but Jones would be live ). But in a boxing match, Silva hold 0 advantage.

    Ignoring knowledge and indulging in echolocation.
    I dont think that monsterous 8ft, half-tonne Korean would be easy to beat just quietly,..besides that, didn't Fedor's son win the UFC heavyweight championship?..:dunno: It's a bit rough to assume that Fedor isn't the same fighter who wiped out the Pride heavyweight division, thus making him p4p 1 in the first place, whilst I believe during that same time, Sylvia and Arvlovski were playing pass the parcel with the shallow UFC belt.
