I'll agree that some of Jones' wins came at good times over aging names, but he does have some really good wins as well. Machida, Glover, Evans, and Gus are all very tough wins that he earned.

On top of that he's fought any and all contenders to his belt. Not his fault some of the old top 5 LHWs were so old.

Jones is the LHW GOAT already (but he can really solidify it with wins over DC and AG). You cant just look at the records of opponents after he beats (dismantles) them to discredit him. Unlike boxing, the UFC has the top guys constantly fighting one another all the time to sell PPV which is a) going to create a lot more L's on top fighters records b) break fighters down much more quickly. Joe Fraser went undefeated for like 29 fights before his loss to big George, then goes on to lose like 50% of his last few fights bc he went up against MA, GF (the top guys) ect. GF was like 36-5 after his first loss, but he fought a bunch of lower ranked guys with the odd top fight thrown in. Jones has fought a schedule more this golden age in HW boxing mixing in top guys with ~worthy contenders. The fact that he hasnt lost like the rest of the division should show how great he is, but I'll admit if he can get a couple more wins over guys that beat the rest of the division except him (DC, Gus) it would really solidify the argument.

Who do you think he should have been fighting at 205 so we could say he's beaten the "who's who", TS?

one post knockout
