This guy is an idiot
I was going to go off about how dumb this guy is but then I read a lot of comments on several MMA forums (and indeed that articles comments) that said Jones would "work Floyd because he's bigger and a world class striker".
At this point I can only sit back and laugh while staring in awe at the utter level of ignorance and stupidity.
So anyone here want to argue that Jones would KO Floyd Mayweather in a boxing match?
Jones has the reach and the weight
I'm sure Mayweather will adjust
Jones is quite technically sound (incredibly sound in Muay Thai department... but this is boxing), so don't be assuming he'd be swinging like most MMA fighters do.
All ppv numbers are up and down boxing or mma depending of whos fighting who just look at may vs guerrero.Again what numbers do you expect him to have after just 5 years?
UFC and Jon Jones are doing fine in mma and thats that...
I will be Honest, I expected more then just 500k+ for the Sonnen fight, nothing wrong with those numbers that is still great but I honestly was expecting at least close to 800k-1M considering all the hype with them being coaches on TUF and Sonnen video on ESPN going viral and all that stuff
yeah he is still very young into his and I am sure the numbers will only go up for him because like Mayweather is hated by many boxing fans, it is many UFC fans who hate Jones and desperately want to see him lose as well
but I did expect bigger numbers for Jones vs Sonnen but over 500K is not bad
I am a UFC fan myself my comment was a stab at UFC I think Jon Jones is a great fighter but the PPV Buys for his title defenses been good but not "GREAT"
UFC PPV Numbers are very up and down, sure GSP can draw well and that is mostly because of Canada

That was a sparring exhibition with headgear against a non-fighter who tired out in the first round.
It was 5 rounds total, 4 rounds of 2-minutes each, 5th round 1 minute, total of 9 minutes boxing.
We're talking a 12 round fight, 36 minutes of boxing, no headgear against one of the top MMA heavyweights in great condition. Totally different story, you can't compare the two.
And how exactly is Jones going to land on him?
Ugh...then sign up my dude. There are a couple of fat bar room brawlers at LHW who will test Jones chin in one round of a boxing match than all of the shots he's taken in MMA to this point, maybe in his whole career. What type of idiot would say boxing isn't a fight when we see these dudes ending up with brain damage and life altering injuries from these "non-fights" GTFO
GSP(THE MAY OF THE UFC) did over 1 mil vs Diaz so The UFC is doing fine..
Jon Jones is fighting for five years.May for 17 years so you do the math...

Jones just doing what every boxer and promoter does, mention Mayweather to bring attention to themselves
UFC PPV Numbers are Down, everytime that happens they start to mention Boxing and Boxers...Jones vs Sonnen did just over 500K PPV Buys which is not bad but that is not as high as a Mayweather or Pacquiao PPV Event and Jones is their Franchise Fighter at the moment
Jones is great at what he does, a phenomenal all around MMA fighter and he should stick to that, even if he was to try Boxing he wouldn't be fighting Mayweather at 6'5 205 lbs., he would be fighting maybe Yoan Pablo Hernandez at Cruiserweight or something? lol

Jones uses little to no boxing when he fights.
He wouldn't have a chance against Floyd. Mosley and DLH beat Shaq who is much bigger weight advantage then Jones would have, and Shaq had been training boxing for 13 years. Longer then Jon Jones.

Because JONES said he could hang with Mayweather in boxing. Did you read the link?
Then he trashed boxing as not being fighting.
Why do you refuse to read what he said then comment on it?
LoL I listen to the whole interview it's on youtube and he says he could hang with Mayweather and I agree that he was out of line with calling boxing not fighting but to him thats the case bacause he can't use all of his skilles in boxing.
Why do you keep bringin up his boxing?He's an mma fighter!!!!!

When did he said he would beat Floyd in a boxing match.He said in mma right?
Stop making this boxing vs mma when it isn't.He was asked a question and he answered and btw this thread was posted already and painfully debated alreaddy.They are both skilled in their own sport.
Um. Learn to read. He said Boxing. Reading is your friend.

I like that he put up a highlight showing Jones doing everything BUT striking with his fists (other than that one shot he landed on Rashads washed up corpse). Give me a break.

When did he said he would beat Floyd in a boxing match.He said it would be a competitive fight.He didn't say he gonna go in boxing and do this and that..
