Can Jake Paul take on Jon Jones?

[Alphaboy]

Jake Paul has been demolishing (former) UFC fighters as of late. With his latest win being against Nate Diaz. Many criticized Jake Paul for having wins over washed up fighters. With that said, could he take on Jon Jones. Jones, while having expertise in wrestling is a very competent striker as well who has always used his reach (and eye pokes) to his advantage.

Let's look at the tale of the tape, shall we?

Jake "The Problem Child" Paul

Jon "Bones" Jones

In boxing? Nah I think Jones is too big. It's probably his biggest weakness but 250 is 250. If he hits Jake it's a lot different than getting slapped by Nate.

TS, Jones can't box. His hands have always been pathetic which is why he relies so much on his elbows, kicks, and knees. Having a gigantic reach helps but he never developed his boxing. Imagine if he had. He'd have been so much better which is a scary thought.

True but 250 pounds isn't Jones' natural weight. He spent years bulking to move up to heavyweight. All of his fights, except for his last one, were at 205 pounds.

Well Jones isn't a great boxer by any means.
So he should be able to knockout Jake without too much difficulty

It’s sad how the boxing subforum has become the new cesspool of Sherdog, with more and more people coming here just to troll.

I don't think there is necessarily anything wrong with that... focus on what you excel at, but make sure you're at least competent in other areas.

Ronda Rousey was dominating with her judo, but never became competent with her striking. With that said, Jones still has a huge size and reach advantage over Jake Paul, but would that be enough?

I think it's always had the same number of trolls, just there's less legit discussion now to dilute it

There's nothing wrong with it but it'd cost him in the boxing ring. His primary line of defense is simply to stiff arm his opponent and hope for the best. And when they start connecting on him with punches he's actually turned his back and ran. This isn't about Jake Paul, really. He's just not cut out for boxing. However, he's obviously good everywhere else and that's enough for MMA.

Nobody here cares about dumb shit like this, it'll be moved with any luck.

This thread deserves a sticky if we're being honest

We deserve a sticky where all dumb shit like this can be constantly fed into, maybe something @PUO3 could look into.

Jones uses eye pokes because he doesn't know how to control a fight with the jab

nah fuckit, it's a sub forum on an MMA site might as well let the traffic roll in. Anyway, inclusivity is key to letting a fan base grow because new fans get to explore the scene on their own terms, as opposed to being shut out or blocked off because the blue bloods aren't interested.
