|  Tim Sylvia: "I Can Beat Any Heavyweight Boxer"
Quote: |
"If the money is right, I would love to do a boxing match," Sylvia said. "I believe I can beat any heavyweight boxer out there ... I will fight any heavyweight boxer in 12, 3-minute rounds and I will beat him. I'm confident in my standup and confident in my boxing coach."

Tim Sylvia might be able to beat any Heavyweight Boxer in mma but if he thinks he is going to beat Klitschko in a boxing match he is crazy.

Does he know that you can't hug your opponent against the ring for 12 rounds?
This is crazy talk and he has enough on his plate right now to worry about....

There isnt a doubt in my mind Sylvia would lose. He doesnt have the footwork to be a successful boxer. I like MMA better than boxing and yeah boxing has kinda took a backseat to MMA IMO but you still have to respect what they do. I still love a great boxing match. I think any of the top 6-7 HW could beat Timmy. Klitsh bros would KO him for sure.

so for all the people who agreed with Tim in this thread: http://forums.mmanews.com/general-mm...eturn-ufc.html
I repeat: Nobody ever accused Tim Sylvia of being intelligent.
Nobody.

Timmy has the long arms, the jab, and the knockout power that a boxer needs but he is too inexperienced to beat anybody but a can.

Timmay couldn'y beat a natural LHW in a boxing match. He is just talking out of his fat ass.He has a slow ass jab and no KO power in those hands. His cardio sucks. He would lose bad.

He would lose bad. | he's got power in his hands, good head movement and huge size, if he trained nothing but boxing for a while he could pobabaly be good but he would have to loose a lot of fat to go 12 rounds
