If Jones is suspended for 2 or 4 years, is his career over?

Jones was really rusty in the OSP fight because he hadn't fought in 15 months.
If he's suspended for a few years, he might be even more rusty (not to mention much older).

If Jones is found guilty, does this mean the end for his career?
 
Jones could get off the couch after 2 years and still beat 90% of guys without a problem
 
No just his move to heavyweight because he'll have plenty of time to lift if he gets suspended.
 
No, the only 2 divisions he can fight in aren't exactly young.
 
No. He would still be plenty young enough to mount a comeback.
 
If he is suspended his career is most definitely over and he knows it as well judging by his reaction.

A shame too, he was on track to be the undisputed GOAT if he had never been suspended in the first place.
 
He'll come back strong. He's still young and there's no way in hell Dana lets him serve a two year suspension
 
Not over, bit as far as being the absolute best fighter on the planet, IMO, yes.

Remember, he started young, so his peak might be over in a few years anyways. Plus, hes not gonna be able to benefit from the past TRT exemption BS fighters used to get, so that's another thing.

The one thing that can make me wrong is if the division just stagnates, and it's the same old crop of guys. I just don't see an older version of DC beating Jones, and who knows how best up guys like Rumble and Gus will be in 2 years.

Honestly, now that I think of it, I really don't know lol.
 
A four year suspension would be impossible for him to come back from IMO. Not because he couldn't do it but because without competition to give him some discipline I think he parties himself out. I don't want to be right about that but I could see him doing it.
 
2 years hurts, but someone like Jones could probably dig deep and make a strong comeback. Likely wouldn't ever be the same fighter, but he was far enough ahead of most everybody else in the division that it might not matter as much. 4 years would be a career killer though imo.
 
Possibly... Two years inactive is an eternity in the fight game.
 
Yoel only got eight months for the same thing, and he's ten years older than bones
 
I honestly dont think he would have been as good as he was before on Sat.

2 years off? Hopefully he doesnt get into trouble.Probation aint no joke.
 
it was over the day he hit and ran that pregnant women still showed wreckless behavior after that incident didnt look the same in his fight back against osp and now this he'll never get his shit together
 
A four year suspension would be impossible for him to come back from IMO. Not because he couldn't do it but because without competition to give him some discipline I think he parties himself out. I don't want to be right about that but I could see him doing it.

I agree.
 
Four would be devastating. Two would go by in a breeze. He'd be in the downside of his prime, or slightly after it, but he would still be a contender level fighter. That said, I want nothing to do with the guy anymore.
