Seeing a big split of Lesnar and Jones supporters in terms of how that would go down. I honestly have no idea how that fight goes if both juiced. But what are your thoughts on prime Carwin vs roided Jones? Carwin is slower than shit but ultra powerful and a good wrestler. Does the size difference mean too much here?

Also, if you think Carwin beat Jones, do you also think Lesnar does? Or is it simply a style matchup? I would imagine once Carwin gets a hold of Jones its over, but Carwin could also gas if it makes it to the 2nd or 3rd.

I doubt Jones could keep him off of him so Carwin would knock him out.
 
Jones.


Carwin was a big, powerful dude with heavy hands, but at the end of the day his gas tank was next to non-existent. Could he knock him out - definitely, but the way I see it going down is Jon surviving the first and then TKOing a tired Carwin on-wards.

(Yes Shane went the distance against JDS, but styles make fights and Jones has the style to tire out Carwin).


Neither beat USADA though.
 
Jones has been very hittable vs guys his height and reach and carwins power was sick
Unlike lesnar he cant turtle and hide behind enormous arms and get lucky when the beast pwning him tires himself out!

In short hed be pwned
 
Wow. funny thing is, when I read the title it says srs and I instantly was horrified by the image of the female versions of Jones and Carwin after their surgeries.

I don't know that the things that make Jones special at 205 would carry over into hw. Although I am aware of the fact that historically, the best heavyweights tend to be around the 240 mark, big and powerful and yet still mobile with a reasonable gas tank.

As a one off, I would say that if jones could survive being crushed in the first round then he would probably gas carwin out and beat him. A healthy Cain would be a way worse matchup for Jones, I also don't see Jones beating Stipe, Werdum, or JDS if healthy.

vs guys his "height"

are we talking Shane's pre fight height or fight night height?

Randy Couture legit 5'11.5 , Shane Carwin either the same or legit 6ft. Shane did say on a Reddit AMA he was 6ft.

Shane cuts a lotta height before a fight man!
 
Carwin had dangerous tools that could get him the win, but my gut feeling is he's a little too cumbersome and rigid to get ahold of Jones. Jon would probably keep him at a distance and piece him up, frustrate him and slow him down even more.

I'm also not positive Carwin could get the TD on Jones, and even if he did I'm not sure what he'd be able to do there besides try to go for the TKO.

I don't think Jon would survive Carwin.

Lesnar could be either way... If he holds Jon, it might be over. But if Jon keeps his distance, Lesnar would fold (he doesn't like to get hit).
 
Shanes chin and strength would be to much. He'd just walk right through Jones and start pummeling. Jones does have great footwork or head movement. He gets by and technique through reach and stamina. I don't see how he'd slow carwin down. Shane would just bull rush him and unload

One blitz from Carwin and his ass is dead as fried chicken, but Jones is smart in the cage, might be his best asset, and he would likely wear Carwin down and choke him out standing in the fourth.
 
If Jones manages to run until Carwin gasses, maybe. If Carwin manages to touch Jones or get a hold of him fresh it's over imo.
