Calling Jones GOAT is weird to me anyway. He doesn't knock people out like Silva, or dominate guys like GSP. He wins. Nothing more nothing less. He has had dominant performances yes, but most of the time he does just barely enough to get his hand raised. That's not a GOAT to me. To me it's the likes of Silva and GSP who do things a lot different than Jones.
This exactly. It's actually funny because if you watch Jones, he really doesn't do anything special, except for his TDD. And the only reason his TDD is as good as it is, is because he is 6'4" and lanky as hell. He has so much leverage against everyone he fights (except Gus), that I wouldn't even say it's as much skill as it is just natural luck of the draw being as tall as he is. Anyways, Jones' offensive attack is actually getting pretty boring and he has plateaued. He has ZERO one punch KO power, and relies on a few flashy elbows out of the clinch every now and then. Other than that, a few high kicks to score some points, and boom, he gets his victory. He is not very impressive anymore, and someone in the near future will beat him. Sorry Jones nuthuggers, your boy just isn't all that impressive anymore. Haters gonna hate right?
