In an article on MMAWEEKLY.com, Anderson Silva's manager Ed Soares confirmed that Silva does indeed want to box Roy Jones, Jr.
“We respect Jones’ boxing ability and think he’s one of the best,” said Soares, “but we’re tired of different boxers saying that MMA fighters aren’t technical. Anderson would love to fight Roy Jones in a boxing match under boxing rules to prove that MMA fighters are technical, too.”

PELKEY ANALYSIS: Whether or not the fight ever materializes is unknown, if not altogether unlikely, but Anderson Silva has thrown the latest shot in the MMA vs. Boxing war.
