Josh Barnett is still fighting. I think a 4 year suspension would be a career killer unless he puts in the necessary hours for no incentive except staying in championship form. A 2 year suspension would hurt but it's survivable.
USADA didn't issue the ruling of "neglect." They just handed down the suspension, which was the MAX suspension he could receive for a first offense. The Arbitrators determined "neglect", not USADA. Fact: He had two banned substances in his system... Fact: He was given the MAXIMUM suspension for this offense.
However, Josh Barnett has true heavyweight skills at that weight class and can still hang. jones' only skill is that he is way bigger than most of his opponents at LHW. Many people contribute his wins to his "incredible fight IQ" and his "skills" but at 6'4" and with an 84.5 inch reach advantage, he can afford to throw some crazy strikes and still remain out of countering distance. He's, also, so damned tall and may have been roided his whole career that he isn't afraid of takedown attempts as he has, always, easily defended them. So, you take a non-juiced, no KO powered jones, who is older and will have a harder time making LHW, who will probably be fighting at HW against guys his size and, well... it can get ugly, real fast. If he faced a 6'2 Daniel Cormier type fighter, he wouldn't be undefeated for long.
Doubt it. He will need the money and therefore do what he can to come back. Then he will screw up again.
You don't understand the nature of probability. Its not an absolute value, but its based from a specific perspective with limited knowledge. According to your logic, all statements of probability are bullshit because from an omniscient perspective, everything "either will be or will not be". Since we are in a position of having incomplete knowledge as to which way Jon's case will be ruled, it is entirely acceptable to estimate a percentage of likelihood as to which way it will go.
even if you snitchced why would you say you snitched

No its not if you have a fucking life. Why waste energy computing some bullshit that you can't control which will end up with an answer from people who can control it. Why not 30% or 28 % or fuck there is no reason why it's 20 % . This makes you a keyboard warrior. Go outside
Doubt he'd sell as well, and likely wouldn't be afforded any preferred treatment upon his return. His legacy is pretty hugely tainted. If he was able to generate some social media buzz around the end of his suspension maybe he could come back to good sales. But just feels like people have chosen to just let Jones fade away at this point. Time will tell I guess, this is all assuming he gets a shorter suspension. If he gets 4, it becomes way more complicated for him to plan a big return that will succeed
well ok, if that's the case you have a point.
