As we are getting into the weekend to talk about it, Peach started a good TD about the spider fighting Roy jr.

it had the makings of a good TD, and since peach asked for a tie, I think it is a good topic for us to debate here...

This would be the spider moving to boxing and fighting Roy.

Is this good, bad or would be ugly for the spider???

SOUND OFF!!!!!

I think it would be ugly for the Spider... Yes Anderson is good at boxing from a MMA standpoint, but RJ was an elite boxer in boxing. He isn't quiet what he used to be, but he is light years ahead of Anderson in pure boxing skills.

well, but don't forget this isn't happening now or in one year. it is only when the spider retires.
Roy is 41 with 54 pro-fights in his career. Add the amateur fights, add a few more years, and it will take a toll on him.
I mean, it already took his tool. He is surely not even close to the dominant Roy and have lost 3 of his past 5 fights!

Getting punched with pillows won't be as bad as getting hit with 4 oz. gloves.
