Roy Jones Jr. wants to fight Anderson Silva on McGregor vs. Mayweather card

A boxing fight between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather isn’t a done deal yet, but Roy Jones Jr. has a good idea for a co-headliner on this mythical card - himself against UFC middleweight legend Anderson Silva. The 46-year-old legend took to social media to make his point known, saying the two bouts would make it the biggest event of all time:

Jones (65-9, 47 KO) is still active, and actually won the vacant WBF cruiserweight title last weekend with an 8th-round TKO stoppage of journeyman Bobby Gunn.
