The fact that LHW has so many former super-stars overhypes Jon Jones immensely.

They can't all be constantly unstoppable, sometime's they'll look bad, but if you assume they look bad because they've secretly always been terrible and not because they're facing someone genuinely better, then guess what. Everyone will eventually suck and you'll be missing out on what it means to truly believe in a fighter with all its ups and downs. :(

That's not what the TS is saying. Go read it again. Then again, just so you can comprehend it.
 
Troll account?


Fact is that those are the toughest guys in the division, you can go on all you want about how they didn't do well after facing Jones, but who didn't they do well against?

Bader and Glover both beat Rampage, so now he "looks bad" , but how does that affect Jones in any way when he already destroyed both Bader and Glover?
And Rashad has had some off nights, but in a career as long as his is, that's only natural, and he still had time to outwrestle Phil Davis, submit Chael Sonnen who, using fantastic technique, finished shogun, and then Jon outmaneuvered Belfort, who has been destroying some of the greatest prospects in MMA and a legend in Henderson.

To me it seems like when these guys lose you go "Oh I guess that means he had that weakness all along and really wasn't that good" while when they win you go "yeah but look, the guy they just won against just lost, so how good can that guy really be?"

If you give great weight to every loss and discredit every single win, then EVERYONE is LOOKING BAD. when that is clearly not the case.

After Jones loses to DC (if that were to happen) you're gonna be in this thread going, SEEEE I told ya'll!! .. Please tell me your understand how fucking retarded that is?

This. The only close fight jones has had is against gus who was on a 6 fight win streak, Befort had won 7 out of 8 fights before facing jones, losing to anderson.
Glover was undefeated since 2005 going into his fight with jones, Rashad was on a 4 fight win streak, these fighters were not past it or undersized.
Lets not forget most these "Middleweights" he fought were former light Heavyweight champions with exception of chael.
Jones also beat everyone bar gus convincingly.
He cant pick his fights, can only be judged on how he did in those fights.
 
He may not had the absolute toughest competition of the dominant champions, but how he has mercilessly disposed nearly all of them is impressive.

GSP has faced and defeated the true murderer's row and has the best wins. Its just he couldnt finish.
 
This is trolling 101. A guy just won't lose like so many want him to. Therefore, they find other ways to diminish his accomplishments. At the end of the day, even the OP usually knows how much they're grasping at straws. Pathetic, really.
 
This is true, just like the fact that Jones is waiting for the hw division become (even more) old to put a streak against passed-prime famous fighters.
 
What, Rashad fought in Pride??
