Freddie Roach, legendary boxing trainer to Manny Pacquiao and Amir Khan was a guest on HDNet's "Inside MMA" on Monday, March 26. Freddie named his "Top 5 Boxers in MMA". Boxing champion, Andre Ward joined the panel and gave his reasons for choosing his favorite MMA fighters—who can box.

1. Anderson Silva

Freddie: "I had the honor of working with [Anderson] for about five or six days in a row. He told me, 'I'm pretty good at MMA, but I'm not too good at boxing.' He didn't quite say it that way (laughs). He's a real humble guy, very talented. He is one of the best guys who really understands distance and timing. He fights off the ropes a little bit. I told him that can be a little dangerous at times. I told him 'be careful', but he'll suck you in, he'll set you up. He's one of the most intelligent fighters I've ever worked with."

Andre added that he has trained with some of MMA's finest including Gilbert Melendez and Jake Shields. Andre said that he's a big fan of Urijah Faber. "All these guys are local guys that I support. I respect them. They respect us. I don't look at it as a competiton [between boxing and MMA]."

Obviously Anderson is no Ali and Forrest is no Liston, but you can't pretend his boxing is bad...

anybody looks great vs a b level fighter untill he faces real opposition. Look at the great Overeem, he was supposed to be an elite kickboxer but since he fight in the ufc versus very good fighters, he shows that he is an overgarbage after all..

:blink:

are you saying he isn't? lul he must have forged all that video footage...

srsly :blink:


Also, Anderson fought some badasses in his time. Haters like to say that about everyone just because they don't like them.

You don't even know who Hayato Sakurai is, I can guarantee that.

Now you're going to go to sherdog and base your opinion completely on a list of Ws and Ls. lul. srsly, you people are too much.

Anderson's chin is frail and is a counter striker, Nick puts lots of pressure and keeps going forward with a solid chin. hard to say who would win, but stupid to think Nick has no chance.
