Daily Debate: Does an Anderson Silva vs. Roy Jones Jr. boxing match interest you?

Long before Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather had their boxing spectacle last year, it was Anderson Silva and Roy Jones Jr. who flirted with the idea of a major crossover event.

During Silva’s seven-year reign as UFC middleweight champion, both he and Jones repeatedly pushed for a showdown to happen in the squared circle, but it never came to fruition. The idea, however, isn’t dead just yet.

All-time boxing great Jones, 49, who had his retirement fight earlier this month, recently told MMAjunkie he would un-retire to face Silva (34-8 MMA, 17-4 UFC). And Silva, 42, continues to express his desire to fight Jones (66-9 boxing), even as he faces a potential suspension from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency stemming from a failed drug test last November.

“Of course, I go fight for Roy Jones,” Silva said earlier this week. “I’m waiting for Mr. Roy. … That’s my dream. Hopefully this fight comes.”

So, for our new Daily Debate feature, we asked MMAjunkie readers and MMAjunkie Radio listeners a simple question: Would you be interested?
