I can see by your response that you are a fan boy and either don't understand the difference between HW and all the other classes, or choose to ignore them. Let me elaborate on my list so you may see the light.
1. His game doesn't translate to HW.
Heavyweight is different from the other weight classes. There are two prerequisites for being successful. Chin and Power. Chin, because you often have to take a shot to deliver your own. Sooner or later everyone gets hit clean and Jones will be no different. He has shown good recovery at LHW but again, HW is a different world. We don't know what would happen if the big boys crack him. Power, because at Heavyweight you HAVE to have a deterrent, you have to make your opponent think twice about walking through you. That's why two big punchers like BB and Ngannou will circle each other continuously in an uneventful fight. If Jon can't deter anyone from walking through his pitter patter, he will either be on the run for the entire fight or KOd. Neither amounts to a win. Jon's game at LHW is reliant on a length and reach advantage, and maintaining distance so he can control where the fight goes and how it happens. If he sees an opening, he will jump in and deliver his spinning elbow or whatever but usually he is just sitting around with distance-controlling kicks waiting for that opening. That will not work at HW. It just won't. His length and reach advantage are gone and nothing in his arsenal to-date is going to give any opponent pause-they know he can't hurt them. Why is Ngannou frothing at the mouth to fight him? It's because he knows he could steamroll him, and Jon knows this too. Also, when you're fighting the big guys, you're not going to land that DC head kick KO. The kick he landed on DC was about 4 1/2 feet off the ground, awkward, not powerful, and DC ducked into it with all his might. That's not going to happen against guys who are 6-6.
2. His body doesn't translate HW.
I don't know if this needs a lot of explanation if you've seen any of his recent 'training'. He just looks all wrong. He's fat, slow and lumbering which would be fine for a slugger but he needs mobility (and a gas tank) to implement his game. Putting on sloppy weight (mostly in his mid-section) might benefit his grappling at the heavier weight but it would detract from everything else.
3. His psychological outlook doesn't translate to HW (afraid to lose)
HW is a kill or be killed division. He just doesn't have that mindset like Hunt, JDS, Nelson, Rothwell, Overeem, and so many others have. He is so risk-averse that he would never do well there unless he changed his fighting philosophy.
4. Wrestling is shot
Didn't try to take down and finish Santos who was dead in the water and couldn't take and keep down Reyes--the football player. Couldn't finish Anthony Smith who was not game in any way and hugely out-classed. The last time it was a factor was Gus 2, but Gus had an injury it turned out, and not exactly in his prime anymore. Before that, he looked great against DC, but of course, he tested positive for PEDs and Steroids before and after those fights.
5. Chin is untested at HW
Self-explanatory
6. No power (no deterrent)-- whether you like it or not.
Covered in #1
7. Past prime
Objectively he is beyond his fighting prime. 10 good fighting years is normal and he is beyond that. His last several fights speak for themselves.
8. No roids
Next time he pops it's a lifetime ban. He's just not going to risk that. It would completely devastate his legacy which he is so proud of. It's pretty easy to see he is not on the good stuff. If he was, he would probably still be a beast--which he's not at this point.
9. Watch his actions, not his words. Jon Jones knows better than anyone how well he would do at HW and STILL no fight on the horizon, although many excuses. That should tell you everything you need to know. (Of course I'm not going to track you down in a year or two but when you think back on how Jones retired without even one Heavyweight fight--you'll say to yourself, "Damn, Herb was right again!"
