Who would win a fight between 2010-2011 Jon Jones and 2010-2011 Junior Dos Santos.

[HootyMcBoob]

Both fighters at their absolute best. Before Jones's demons took over. Before Cain took JDS's soul.

Lets say at Heavyweight.

Who wins?

 

[Captain Herb]

At heavyweight? The heavyweight.

 

[BigTruck]

Whoever wins doesnt lose

 

[HootyMcBoob]

At heavyweight? The heavyweight.

Well Jones is purported to have walked around at 230 and JDS usually fights at about 240. So the size disparity isn't that much.

 

[Gabe]

I see one potentially winning that’s for sure.

 

[Ivancho]

JDS by ko

 

[aali14]

JDS

 

[JKS]

JDS would knock Jones out.

 

[winkydinks]

Current Jon gasses prime JDS and wins 49-46

 

[Captain Herb]

Well Jones is purported to have walked around at 230 and JDS usually fights at about 240. So the size disparity isn't that much.

Even if Jon roid bulked to a lean 240, prime JDS is everything Jones has been trying to avoid his whole career. Size, strength, TDD, KO power, boxing. Imagine Gus with real power. That would be an utter nightmare even for prime (roided) Jones. The list of prime HW that would murder prime Jones is long and JDS is on that list.

I think there's an element of confusion at the core of all these kind of threads that Jon's game translates well to HW. It doesn't at all. For some reason people think a bigger Jones would do to HW what he did to LHW. He would do OK but wouldn't be successful at the top of the division because he doesn't have the essential combination of power, chin, and skill. His chin is durable at LHW but completely unproven at HW. He has no power, and at HW this translates to posing no threat on the feet--a BIG disadvantage. He has skill and uses it well to beat up smaller fighters but it's time and time again negated by skilled fighters his own size, which HW has had in abundance. And finally, on any given night, even the least skilled HW can end Jones with one punch. Jon loses most of his advantages at HW and is in danger from even the less skilled fighters, that's why he will never go there.

Jds wins that

More power behind his strikes.

 

[pick999]

jon by submission the goat

 

[Gilday]

Before the 2nd Cain fight, JDS was the scariest man on the planet

In 2011 JDS wins. Any time after 2013 is all Jones.

 

[josp1]

I can’t stand Jon Jones - terrible person.

That being said - you people are out of your minds. Jones wins

 

[bjpenngoat]

Carwin came awfully close to.submitting JDS. I'm a huge JDS fan but I'm going with bones.

 

[Taric]

The bigger stronger human being, JDS. Respect Jones for his tremendous resume at LHW, but he fought at LHW his entire career for a reason.

 

[TR1]

There is a reason Jones cut to LHW lol.

 

[Wdefense]

JDS beats him up in boxing range

Clear decision for JDS

 

[ExitLUPin]

JDS by UD (49-46, 49-46, 48-47)

Bones has a shot if he can get him against the cage and work his clinch game. Otherwise he's getting beat up as he isn't getting Junior down consistently enough to work much at all from top

 

[GoodBadHBK]

Jon Jones steroids won't save him from JDS steroids
