Is Jon Jones going to the Floyd Mayweather route?

Is Jon Jones going to the Floyd Mayweather route?

Jon Jones technically is still undefeated. The reason I'm saying he is it looks like he is picking up fights rather than giving fights to the fans they want like JJ vs Tom Aspinall. Jon Jones should have fought heavyweights like Cain Velasquen, Stipe Miocic like 5 years ago. He fights a 41 year old Stipe Miocic. What's the point of this?

If Jon Jones only picks fights that he thinks he can win, do you really think he's the GOAT?

 

[Hymen Crusher]

Yes that's exactly what he is doing. Floyd's last 6 7 years of his career was basically fights he couldn't lose

 

[Clark Rogers]

Nobody is calling him GOAT because of what he's done at HW. I guess if you ignore everything prior to that, sure.

 

[Ube]

No, Jones technically has been defeated. He is essentially undefeated, though, I think is what you mean.

I don’t think you can compare him to Floyd though because Jones, up until recently, has fought pretty much everyone there was to fight at LHW when those people got the opportunity. And now at HW there’s pretty much only one person to duck or care about.

Put it this way, I don’t think he’s going to be fighting much longer. Probably just looking out for a pay day. Unlike Floyd who seemed to have a stretch of active years where he was fighting subpar versions of fighters.

He's already got the domestic violence part down. He'll need to fight Tyson Fury in MMA to complete the Floyd comparison

 

[Prazeres]

Jon has less leeway than Floyd had, he has expressed interest in fighting anybody but Tom (Alex, Hill, Lewis), but the UFC only granted him one freebie in Stipe.
Meanwhile a boxer can keep fighting good names he knows he can beat while ducking the most dangerous ones.

 

[Shaolin Alan]

Jon Jones takes Ls from Sherdoggers every single day... I just don't think he cares about any of you

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

nah, at LHW he wasn't cherry picking. Floyd was cherry picking for a long time. once he went from Pretty Boy to Money, he was the one calling the shots on who he'd fight.

 

[podsox]

He’s easily the GOAT but his heavyweight run (2 fights) hasn’t done anything to improve his resume imo

 

[The Cysko Kid]

It makes you appreciate a guy like Anderson Silva who would take any fight out in front of him whether or not it was a good idea. Sure he fought past his prime and ended up a highlight reel but none of that took away from his lengthy dominance.

He's been doing the Mayweather for 10yrs.

I called it out 8yrs ago been saying it since. He hasn't been legit for about a decade now

Exhibition fights?

Boxing has so many belts it doesn't matter when you're stripped. They also work with whoever sells the most to get what they want. UFC has given some champs easy fights, but they aren't dumb enough to put another Stipe caliber opponent for Jones defense.

 

[Dionysian]

1. You misused the word technically. He is technically NOT undefeated.
2. His HW run is actually worse for his resume than if he stayed retired after being the king of LHW. Same way me beating up a grandmother at the market doesn't make me look like a better fighter, it makes me worse in that you'd wonder what the hell would possess me to try and look good by beating up an old lady and why I didn't elect to fight someone that could be sanctioned in a non-joke organization.

UFC paving his career into a grand total of two circus sideshow freak fights over the last half decade will rightfully be seen as worse than nothing because it begs the question of why they did that (and the obvious answer is protecting a PR brand). Of course, in the interim, with PR accounts blasting propaganda full-throttle it is less visible. But yeah, it's a joke and will rightfully be seen, over time, as more of one. Especially because a year from now all the PR accounts will be busy glazing some other UFC star once it is clear Jon is done and there's nothing else to squeeze out of his promotion.

Floyd never used PED's, never used coke and actually takes his profession seriously.. hence his status and record. To think he took "easy" fights in the end is comical at the least. It's Boxing, fights happen when both parties agree.. not just one side.

 

[snugglecakes]

Floyd fought into his 40s. Jon duck retired in his mid late 30s but has no problem with elder abusing 300 year olds like stipe.

Once the shoe is on the other foot Jon runs away riding crotch to ass bitch on a moped

 

[skylolow]

Jones fought Stipe simply because he held Stipe in very high regard and I'm sure his people around him thought it was the biggest money fight for Jones at HW at that time also. Even the UFC wasn't that keen on it at all.

With all this BS going on with Jones vs Tom it has actually rising Tom's stock. This is a much bigger fight today than it would've been a year ago by a lot.

 

[Ibm]

Jones is way more vulnerable than Floyd even at this point. Mayweather likely wins his next fight, Jones has a higher chance of losing.

No he’s NOT “Easily the goat”

Two FAILED PED tests put his dumbass out of contention for that. And ‘GOATS’ don’t get worked and beat by guys like Reyes and twice by Matt Riddle. Lol

Also goats are savvy enough in the ring/cage to follow simple rules to avoid being disqualified and losing. lol

 

[HHJ]

Mayweather likely wins his next fight

Mayweather has not been a serious fighter for a decade.

You can barely call what he's done since 2015, professional boxing.

I dont blame him for goin that route, he's an older guy who is able to make alot of money with these circus things he is doing, but these are not relevant to the world of boxing in any way.
