Bones is too weak a puncher to have the same success at HW that DC has

[ExitLUPin]

Bones is one of the weakest punchers at LHW nvm HW......his power doesnt threaten the top HWs at all like DC does. This is why hes ducked HW for years

 

[TITS]

Bones is not a heavyweight.

 

[Skeptic_Zero]

Good thing there's more to striking than just your hands.

I think Jones proved that much when he knocked DC into tomorrow with a head kick. Js

Good argument, but I just wish we could’ve seen it happen.

 

[FedorRoks]

Correct.

Stipe would wreck Jones.

Stiipe's huge mistake tonight was he did not respect DC's power. But DC has major heavyweight power. Stipe just had to learn that lesson the hard way.

Stipe would walk through Jones, as would many other heavyweights. You have to have the punch to keep people off of you, especially a guy like Stipe who wants to take the fight to you.

Bingo. Also who knows how much harder Jones would hit at 240 lbs or so, but yeah his long ass arms won't have as effective hooks in the pocket. That's why he developed some of the best elbows of any fighter.

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

He's also going to compete clean

I just saw a HW contender win a fight landing 5 punches a round.

 

[LouisBolanos]

There's more to fighting at HW than just straight KOs.

Jones is not Rumble Johnson, he has a thousand different ways to fuck you up.

Juicy Jones, that is. No idea how clean Jones would do, but as far as I'm concerned Juicy Jones would smash every HW in the UFC.

I think he can outpoint any heavy weight. He won't KO them with one punch, but he can easily out work them.

Stipe is a moron, grappling with cormier is just stupid.

 

[FedorRoks]

Stipe is a moron, grappling with cormier is just stupid.

He just didn't respect him enough.

Fatal mistake.

Stipe is not stupid, but he definitely underestimated DC.

 

[Soul On Ice]

Them stationary HWs would be limping out of the first round

You don't really want Jones at HW, he oblique kicks them all into early retirement

True...........we saw a clean Bones against Gusmao, Bonnar and OSP..............definitely not impressive

 

[JayE]

I think all of the big 4 at LHW circa 2015 (Cormier, Jones, Gustafsson, and Rumble) would have had substantial success at HW. Jones didn't have the punching power to deter Cormier from coming forward, but he still found other ways to win, and he'd do the same at HW. Having said that, someone like Miocic would still be dangerous for Jones, but Jones would probably have enough other tools to make up the difference (assuming he could pass the drug tests, of course).

 

[SuperNerd]

It would be an issue

 

[FaTaL FaTaL]

He just didn't respect him enough.

Yea cormier did come in seriously overweight.
