In MMA anyone in any weight class on the UFC roster beats Floyd. And there is nobody in the UFC who could be competitive anywhere near the elite levels of pro boxing. They're extremely different sports.
I will ait here and be confident in saying that if mayweather fought garcia or mckenzie in mma, he would smoke them.
Both have almost no td offense what so ever.
wow 55 pages before someone posted something that makes sense. good job.Shaq and De La Hoya wasn't a blow out.
who knows, we havnt truly seen Bones just boxing. His boxing in mma is greatly affected by the threat of takedowns, knees, kicks etc
Mayweather would win a points decision. But Jones is a smart fighter, he could utalise his reach. Mayweather would just be shadows out there for Bones to hit. Who cares, I don't know why I contributed to this lol
If Jones hadn't been asked the question and responded, this would have been wasteland before we got to page 2.
It's also a perfect recipe for a shit storm, a Jon Jones quote, a boxing vs mma debate, and arguably the p4p best mma fighter vs boxing's p4p king. Then we have the size difference. All it needed was for Jones to say "God would give me the power to win" and Sherdog would have imploded.

I just love how all the jones haters use this comment to say he's arrogant when 1 he was jist answering a question and 2 given his height and reach it would be competitive. yes Floyd will be faster but he will lose some of his speed on his punches trying to punch up and hit jones. he won't be able to knock Jones out and Jones has a chance to ko Floyd bit his punch accuracy in the fight would probably be under 10 percent.
this would be a boring fight imo with a jones chance at a ko but a probable Floyd UD with under 5 punches landed per round
So what Jones is saying is that his hands are so shitty a 205+ pound man can't destroy a 155 pound man?
Yeah but JJ is almost twice the size of Mayweather.
Why doesn't he call out people his own size
Real talk.
i would expect him to be humble and say in an mma fight i'd smash him, and in a boxing fight he'd probably smash me.
With that said, not a big deal, and definitely not cause for hate.
He could have said Mayweather is a champion boxer who would handle me in the boxing ring OR I wound't fight Mayweather in MMA or boxing because I am around 70 lbs heavier and a foot feet taller
