Would Jones, Cormier, or Johnson be HW champion if they moved up?

[RankingMMA]

I am guessing if Cormier loses to Jones again, he will move back up as long as Cain is not champ. I even think Anthony Johnson could hold his own against any of the current heavyweights, after all it wasn't too long ago that he broke Arlovski's jaw. Then again, OSP could pull off the upset and this whole thread ends up being pointless...

Thoughts?

Johnson wouldn't...
Jones would...
Cormier might...

Cornier and Jones could be. I'm more inclined to say Cornier because he's already fought and succeeded at heavyweight. Jones is a wildcard but is probably more talented than all heavyweights besides werdum and overeem.

I don't think aj has enough tools to be champ at heavyweight but I'd love to see a fight between him and cain

Talk of Gustafsson moving up as well, but I just don't see him having the strength to hang with guys like Stipe and Cain.

This is what I think:
Johnson: Strong and Powerful but maybe a little to small for some of the bigger heavyweights, would love to see him fight Hunt, or Black Beast
Jones: Right frame size, might be a little to light weight wise but his reach, athleticism, and natural talent would probably allow for some impressive victories
Cormier: Too bad he had to leave the heavyweight divison because of Cain. He was better at heavyweight IMO, to quick and fit for the big guys, and to strong for the guys more his size. Would love to see him return

All three have a chance. Heavyweight is insanely weak.

 

[SheetsMMAfan]

Yes

 

[EmeliankoFan1]

Cormier and Jones could

I am on the wall with Rumble,

I also think Gustafsson would be a top HW as well. He could box circles around most of the HW division. Hopefully he gets his head on straight.

All three beat Werdum imo.

Conor McGregor (FW champ).. move to LW LOST.

Demetrius Johnson (FlyW champ)... fight a BW (Cruz) LOST.

Robbie Lawler (WW Champ)... at MW (regular fighter)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If they stay at LHW is because they would get their ass kicked at HW even fighting Top 10 guys...

before someone reply with "DC undefeated HW", He never face a top HW, he already said Cain was superior than him and he already said he would never return to HW because he is afraid.

 

[AWESOMEACE]

No.
