That would be the first fight catching my interest!
Nah, he'd lose pretty handily in pure boxing against Paul. Probably not KOed due to reach advantage and iron chin.I would love to see that, but Paul would never do it, and he wouldn't even make an excuse, he'd say no thanks I don't want to get killed.
At some point he's going to pivot to fighting real boxers, he doesn't want to die before that.
Bones doing actual boxing would be weird though, it doesn't fit his style, but he'd still KO Paul at this point.
I think he'd beat Paul, who is a pretty good boxer but only fights over-the-hill fighters. And Paul always has reach advantage and without that he'd be lost.Nah, he'd lose pretty handily in pure boxing against Paul. Probably not KOed due to reach advantage and iron chin.
Jones's defensive boxing is plenty developed and top notch. His jab is rock solid. He just doesn't throw power punches at distance in MMA fights, which is exactly as it should be given his reach, wrestling, and clinch game. Besides that, power punching in MMA stand-up is a high-variance tactic, and Jones correctly avoids high-variance tactics given how much better he is than all his opposition. Given his defensive boxing and clear ability to master a wide variety of techniques, I'm pretty sure Jones could get his power punching up to kill-Jake-Paul levels in the time it would take to train for a boxing match with Paul.In boxing or MMA?
Because Jones’s boxing has always been underdeveloped.
