do you think Jones could eat a punch from Ben, Nelson, Mitrione, Reem, JDS or Miocic?

Everyone get ko'd at HW, 90% of that division struggles to maintain a 2-3 fight win streak without getting ko'd.

That's because 90% of them don't have the skillset to do so. Jones is not a part of that 90%

Ben, Nelson, Mitrione, Reem, JDS or Miocic?

Ben - yes
Nelson - too slow and predictable to hit Jon
Mitrione - yes
Reem - would out-knee Reem in the clinch
JDS - not one of his right handed haymakers, but he could make JDS freeze up like Miocic started and Cain did

Miocic - yes

could cain? fedor? hunt? jds?

they don't just "eat" power punches. noone has a strategy to just "eat" big shots. jbj takes power away from his opponents. he trades when he feels safe. he'd do the same with those guys.

The problem would be that Jones doesn't have KO power so unthreatened HW fighters would absolutely start walking him down. People don't realize Jones' striking game is not that hot. He gets hit quite frequently and in the boxing match with Gus he got completely lit up. People would be headhunting him at HW.

Honestly the only one there that I think would have a chance is JDS. Jones surely wouldn't want to eat as many uppercuts as he did with DC.
