Anthony Joshua vs Jon Jones in a bareknuckle Street Fight?

[crimsonfalcon07]

He's gotta counter the first throwaway punch to takedown. Does he have elite takedown defense? If not, he's going to lose to most heavyweight and light heavyweight MMA fighters with wrestling. Heck, he might lose to DJ, who just subbed a heavyweight black belt in BJJ. The only reason Mercer beat Sylvia is that they agreed to keep it on the feet.

Blast double, ground and pound, submission.

He might beat Anatoly Malykhin, because Malykhin likes to keep it on the feet, and would probably try to beat AJ at his own game.

If AJ had a world class **** talking game he could probably goad Jones and his gigantic psychopathic ego into standing with him. Jones' boxing is pretty bad even by MMA standards (watch him hit the pads lmao), but yeah, low single into elbows from hell and Joshua's face ain't gonna be the same.

Unrealistic scenario, but Jones wins. In an actual real world scenario Joshua has a better chance because real fights are never 1 on 1 alone and rarely involve any ground game. A real fight is chaos with punches being thrown at close quarters usually with people in the middle.

The reality is boxers have no idea how to defend kick to the leg and its way easier to land a kick than punch against somebody with no experience defending kicks

Jones would have AJ with one working leg as quick as he wanted and then it's easy work.

A lot of it has a lot to do with how the fight starts. Anybody that had street fights will know that very few of them start off with both people in neutral positions waiting to fight, it usually starts with a scuffle and then punches start flying, so there's a chance of Boxer could get a punch off before an MMA fighter gets chance to do anything if the street fight is more of a natural progression from a scuffle.

but if you put them in the street with a neutral starting point as you would a sporting event then the MMA fighter has major advantages.

Either AJ knocks him out with his first combination ala Ray Mercer vs Tim Sylvia or Jones just grabs him and dominates him ala Couture vs Toney.

[Richard Hamilton]

AJ by KO inside 60 seconds.

This might give you some answers - the guy sucks at kicking and even at punching when he tries to kickbox. I can't blame him for the first, he is a boxer. But makes me think he follows Fury's path because Tyson used to train some MMA a few years back.

[QUOTE=Rad;n32224758]What if AJ walks into Jon Jones in a Dark Alley? Could Big Femi lay out Jones like he laid out Ngannou? Or would Jones's MMA skills prevail?

Between those 2 heavyweights who really is the baddest dude on the planet?


- - What if U soiled U panties when they walk in?

You know that would happen, but you wouldn't be the least embarrassed because that the way U are.

How do you know he's a fan of Bruce and practices jkd. I never heard that?

Took AJ a few minutes to land on Ngannou in boxing with 0 threat of takedowns.


jones comes out crawling and shoots a low single immediately. It’s a wrap

If they were fighting in an alley under MMA rules (no kicks to the head of a grounded fighter, no downward strikes to the back of the head and neck) then crawling on the ground would be a good way for Jones to avoid getting KTFO by AJ.
But under street fight rules (aka NO RULES) it would be a good way for him to get his skull fractured and/or his teeth kicked to the back of his throat as soon as he crawled into range.
