Bones Jones could transition and be the best cruiserweight in the world

[Thraxox]

His arsenal would be severely depleted in boxing. Those kneecap kicks. The eye pokes. The head kicks. Those f#cking crazy elbows. The most ineffective thing about him might be his punches. I can't think of a guy he straight KO'd with a punch of the top of my head.

Jon in kickboxing would be a bad mfer doe. Idk if those kneecap kicks are legal there doe. And he'd really be a bad mfer in Muay Thai with his elbows. Jon's elbows are scary & more than once I thought he might have severely injured a guy with them.

Lowing you to a C- troll thread btw for this poor response.

It was Brandon Vera, Jon broke his eye socket with his elbow from a high guard.

Dude his biggest attribute in mma are his knees and elbows...

[Thraxox]

Those f#cking crazy elbows. .

Bro imagine if Jones was actually a professional boxer and his stright right hand comes with his elbow XD

He absolutely would no. When a man with a 12 Inch reach DISADVANTAGE can hit you with hooks then he isn't a good boxer. His jab is mediocre but in MMA his entire repertoire of striking is top level. Just punches though? He's middling

jones weighs 205, then apparently gains 10 or or more pounds in thre 24-36 hours.

cruiser is at 190 i think, hmmm im not sure. i get your point though, maybe he would be ripped up at 190.

[moltres.]

he's the top p4p 'fighter' in the world. where as ward is p4p boxer.

boxing has too many rules to call it a fight, UFC much more like a real fight.

Lol @ this new kid calling me a troll. Try harder son.

I'm dead serious Bones has legit power in both hands. He sliced open Cormier with a punch in the first round. He'd be a killer in any combat sport including boxing. He's like a bigger version of prime RJJ minus the elite speed.

Pfffft ok. Any of these guys in the WBSS would total him w ease..

Okay thanks I legit couldn't remember. I knew its been awhile. Didn't really think it was THAT long ago tbh.

He's a bad mofo with striking, just not punching. He's a guy who's got all the physical attributes + skills for MMA, but in any other combat sport he'd not be anywhere as good as in MMA cuz the mixing of his attributes & skills is what makes him special I think. You can handle this or that, but you can't handle all the sh^t Jon can do is the problem most opponents seem to have.

We even saw that last night with how Jon in a competitive fight (I & seemingly most people had it 1-1 going into the 3rd) just kept DC off balance & unable to optimize his own plan cuz Jon disrupted everything he was trying to setup. Sh^t was genius & its always genius.

Bro imagine if Jones was actually a professional boxer and his stright right hand comes with his elbow XD

LOL true, his illegal Tyson elbows on steroids would have more KO's than his hands I think or result in some NC's & DQ's they would probably be so blatant.

[Alx.]

******ed thread, his biggest strengths are his kicks, knees and elbows besides his wrestling game. Top 5 cruisers destroy him in a boxing ring

I take it that you are a McConor fan since he said boxing is half a fight or some crap
