jones would do fine at HW, I personally think the top handful of guys would crush him but I don't think anyone has said he would get beat by journey men
Hasn't junior dos Santos taught you hulk power is not all you need to reach the top. Its all about precision and technicality. (Junior has mastered it to the point he can achieve knockouts with that technique.)
And if you think this is the epitome of power Jones will ever possess then you're naive.
Its foolish to think he would do terrible.
But one thing he doesn't have at 205 is power in his punches. That would be an issue at HW against monsters.
Don't know about that. I mean neither Werdum or Bigfoot are known for their power and both do fairly well. It all depends on how he develops his technique to throw a proper punch and the mass behind it.
Those guys would probably have more power if they were at lhw don't you think?
Not saying Jones couldn't win a fight at HW. But his lack of finishing power on the feet would give him a disadvantage against a lot of top guys at HW.
I agree but knocking the guy out isn't the only way to get a win. He has the most subs at lhw ufc history, I would love to see how'd that translate at heavy weight. and I can't see him losing too many fights that go the distance
I know from your previous posts you immensely hate Jon Jones but what makes you think the 240 pound Jon Jones won't be the 1 taking down Cormier (who he has a huge reach advantage on) and Cain and not the other way around. sure either scenario can happen but you cannot automatically assume from what you seen from Jon Jones that someone with that best equal wrestling to his will take him down that easy and not vice versa. I mean his take down the fence is 100 percent right now now
The HW top 10 has some dangerous BJJ guys though(Mir,Nog,Werdum etc). Probably more than LHW.
Mir isn't a top 10 HW. Just sayin'
Mir isn't a top 10 HW. Just sayin'
Mir isn't a top 10 HW. Just sayin'
Humor me by posting 10 Hw's above Mir?
