Yeah this is interesting. He has his pro boxing debut in 1998, and his pro MMA debut in 2000.
It looks like he tried his hand at boxing first.

Well considering the success in the niche he has found, I don't think he is complaining.Originally posted by S.G. View Post
He is so dominating in MMA. He was just not meant to be a great boxer. If you take decent boxing skills and mix them with other good attributes though, you can come out with an amazing all around fighter.Comment

if anything this clip shows that Silva's better off in the MMA game then boxing
granted Anderson does have a tremendous amount of overall ability as he's blessed with quickness and reasonable hand speed
but take it with a grain of salt as his opponent was making his debut.
I'd say though if Anderson Silva did do boxing full time, he'd be decent, but certainly not Elite best of the bestComment

boxrec says he was ko'd in his first boxing match in 98.

There's a recent video of him sparring on youtube. He looked decent in it. He threw great combonations, but he pulled a margarito and had no regrads for defense once so ever.Comment
