If Aspinall loses to Gane people will basically just say he was never good enough to beat Jon

[mkess101]

If Gane beats Tom then Jones #1 status will be cemented. And to be honest, Gane is probably going to win.

I assume you're gonna have huge $ on Gane since he's about a 4 to 1 underdog that you think "probably" will win?

 

[YEET]

The point is that the excuse made by many was that Aspinall isn't well know enough to warrant Jones unifying the belts. I was obviously mocking that train of thought.

Yeah I totally missed that. I am a Jones fan but Tom was the fight to make.

Honestly rooting for Aspinal cause it keeps the White House fight alive. But if he gets beat by Gane I’ll laugh my ass off.

Holy shit JJ fans still in denial that their goat committed the biggest case of ducking in the sports history. Let it go boys.

 

[mkess101]

you are a relatively smart guy, but you are derranged regarding jones. he's retired. sheath the sword bro.


All of these comments are strange, And I cant even tell how they are related to the posts your quoting.




this. just because they TRY to pump the gas for aspinall doesn't mean anyone cares, The A side is jones, Without jones, aspinall is just some other guy. His only mystique is that he COULD be the one to beat jones. Without that possibillity, He's about as big a star as gane.

Haha I just used the Jones example because it's his sycophants that still swoop into Aspinall/Gane threads to throw feces everywhere. Don't read more into it than that my dude.

It would be even more crazy than gsp losing to serra

 

[Tweak896]

Do you remember what happened before and after Pavlovich/Aspinall. Overnight, Pavlovich hype train emptied out and everyone started the Jones/Aspinall stuff. It's pretty funny. My guess if Gane looks like an absolute savage and Aspinall can't get him down, they say it's Gane 2.0 and Jones was afraid of that. Would be funny to see the switch up.

If Aspinall loses all it proves is that Jones fled into retirement and dropped his belt rather than fight a guy who can't even beat Gane.

 

[Savage]

Well styles make fights of course but if he lost to Gane I think it's possible he'd struggle against Jon. I think Aspinall isn't a lock to beat the GOAT anyway frankly. So it would make sense to take this position if he loses to Gane.

 

[NoStoneUnturned]

I'm not an idiot and I understand that crap happens. These are big boys. If Aspinall loses or even if it ends up being a hotly contested fight, then yeah, Tom is going get roasted.

He has to win and win convincingly.

Depends how he loses. If Tom loses to Gane by DQ or freak injury it doesn't say much; if he loses by chasing a Gane who runs away from him for a few rounds until he gasses out and gets finished then he'd likely struggle against Jones; and if he loses some other way we're probably talking about a video game or alternate realities so it wouldn't be relevant at all.

People have built up Tom so much on this site and reddit over the Jones fight that never happened that the kid can't really ever live up to the pedestal you've all put him up on.

 

[Superzorro]

If that happens to be the case it will be because styles make fights

• Ali beats Foreman, Foreman beats Frazier, Frazier beats Ali

• Jones beats Gane, Gane beats Aspinall, Aspinall beats Jones

Don't be a simpleton

That’s all something you’ve created in your head though. In reality, there would only be two of those occurrences that have actually taken place. Gane would have beaten Aspinall. And Jones would have beaten Gane.

That said, I highly doubt Aspinall even struggles with Gane. It wouldn’t make sense.

 

[Superzorro]

“Secret” Jones fans is hilarious. What exactly are they afraid of?

But why? I've been told nobody even knows who Aspinall is. Why would one guy that nobody knows beating another that nobody knows crash anything??

Sherdog knows. Casuals don’t.

Totally! I mean, Jones lost to Dom Reyes in most people's eyes and Dom barely lasted a minute with Ryan Spann. Clearly Spann>Jones.

“In most people’s eyes” and reality are two different things. Use a fight that Jones actually lost and you might be able to make an accurate comparison here.

Ahh. So when the highest paid sports mouthpiece and his cohorts do a 20 minute piece on the biggest sports network in the world...about Jones's retirement...and half of that time is spent showing Aspinall highlights and talking about Jon ducking him...that means "nobody knows him"? Huh!

If that’s the only scenario in which they’d play your highlights, then compared to the fighter in question, you’re a nobody.

Aspinal may have to shoot for a takedown.

 

[JBJ was here]

Aspinal may have to shoot for a takedown.

If Gane gives up a free takedown by turning his back and standing there like in the Jones fight, it won't have to be much of a shot and could easily be more of a tackle.

 

[AmonTobin]

If Gane wins, people will forget this was his third title shot in 6 fights. The second shot off a win over Tuivasa and the third off a robbery decision over Volkov.

Lay off the copium my friend.

Me and @HI SCOTT NEWMAN want the Black Beast to knock everybody out and be the champion

True, I also remember when you said Lewis would beat Francis and loads of people on here gave you grief about it saying Francis is too fast and skilled for Lewis and there are levels to this etc etc....

I was thinking... yeah you don't know Kate very well, her picks are right up there with the best. And then what happens? Lewis wins an easy 30-27, don't think Francis landed a blow on him to be fair

Younhave to throw nganou in their as well, if gane wins. He’s the champ of a division where the last 2 undisputed left.
It’s a very bad look on the division.

jones gave It some legitimacy as he’s been on top of the sport 15 years.
