Islam due to Jones' inactivity.
While this is technically true, he was given no punishment and was found not to be at fault.Islam did fail a drug test though
This. All day, month, yearJon Jones and it's not even close.
I almost put technically in the reply but I love spreading misinformationWhile this is technically true, he was given no punishment and was found not to be at fault.

Most guys only fight in one division, yet we always have a P4P discussion.
Jon is by far the more accomplished fighterI expected the poll to be a landslide in Jon's favour. I'm shocked!
I find Jon objectionable in a number of ways too but..... he's still alive and competing. How is this even a question???
Doh!Islam did fail a drug test though
Jeff, you dirty motherfucker. You done changed up the rules on me. And.... you're making sense.Jon is by far the more accomplished fighter
But, at least my interpretation of P4P is that it means who is the most skilled, capable, athletic fighter RIGHT NOW regardless of weight class.
Most of Jon's best work was a LONG TIME AGO. He has managed to keep hie unbeaten streak, but his late LHW fights seem to be a strong indicator of decline.
He has 2 minutes of fighting time in the last 3 years. In that same span Islam has won 3 title fights and win I think about 7 fights.
It's open to interpretation but I think that's the argument for Islam or anyone other than Jon.
Jon's achievements apply more towards GOAT status, and less for P4P due to the time that has passed since most of the higher points of his resume.

Doctor signed him off when he popped for one of the most common PEDs used by the Russian athletes at the Olympics. It was something like 17% of Russian PED failures for that heart drug. In comparison it makes up 3% for the rest of the worlds athletes around 2016.Islam did fail a drug test though
Islam = is fighting and beating top talent, and beat volk twice
jones = historically longetivity, but recently is cherrypicking the heavyweight division, including dodging pavlovic who has won his last 6 fights in a row by ko
jones is maybe technically p4p number 1 but right now, Islam is doing things the more respectable way imo
