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

[New England]

If ward and jones was smart they be angling for a ward vs jones mma vs boxing angle too!

ward is still in the prime of his career and still wants to challenge himself. that fight will be there in 5 years if he's looking to sell out.

also, they don't have the marketing machine that mcgregor is, or the built in love / hate relationship that people have with floyd that has made hiim such a draw [floyd also had a very flashy and eye catching offense in his prime, even if he wasn't all that active a casual fan could still see the counters and go "wow."] that guy sells fights to casuals. hes' the brash, tattoed ******* people expect fighters to be. jones is just an awkward dude, and ward has the personality of one of his spit buckets.

His stand up game is incredible he has ko power in both hands.

Yeah, he's just gonna go right in and start at the top right? Pole smoker

Did somebody say he would be a bigger Roy Jones? What is wrong with people here?

Ward is actually classy and polite, something not often seen in modern boxing

I mean at getting knocked out he might

[Sir_Didymus]

The only thing he can transition into with a name like that is making adult videos.

Jones would get ouboxed by Mayweather Sr. probably never mind actual guys that would out weigh him by 30 pounds and same height .

Who at crusier would outweigh him by 30 pounds? Jon's a solid 215. To answer the question, no he can not compete in elite level boxing.

Jon is a bit slow with the hands. And gets hit too much. Can't use those elbows in a boxing match


I think the white cat from Switzerland that almost beat Jones...I can't think of his name, would probably make head way in boxing. He actually boxed before and has some really good hands.

you dont understand the difference between the two sports. the whole stance is completely different in ufc, theres no such thing as inside fighting, youre stance is set up to avoid leg kicks, a lack of body shots too because if you are in that close landing body shots youre likely to get taken down in mma. he wouldnt have a clue how to box in the clinch for example. hed get embarrassed by someone like usyk, seriously embarrassed. And with muscle memory and spending a whole lifetime being tauhght how to fight in one way, its not going to be an easy transition into boxing. if he learnt to box from an early age then its different, but its too late to transition. hopefully mcgregor v mayweather kills off these ludicrous cross sport matches.

ward is not classy and polite . not sure where that narrative comes from. just because a guy isn't pouring money down the toilet doesn't make him polite. ward's very much aloof.
