You think Jones has enough power standing to go toe to toe with a real heavyweight?Originally Posted by sonatine
jones would do well at heavyweight standing. heavyweights just arent as fast as reyes, at least since cain fell under the usada bus. but i do think he gets ragdolled in the clinch there and likely doesnt make it back to his stool if he gets put on his back.
I was being sarcastic
@blake, I didn't see the first 3 that way, I didn't see the usual retreat from Jones the way most do as he chops away at them, I saw a Reyes that countered and slipped counter punched and kept Jones at bay.
Admittedly as he tired 4-5 he backed up more so but I dunno.
The talk of heavyweight for Jones after this fight is laughable imo. Imagine if Reyes had KO power at all this fight would have ended rd1-3.
I think he would actually do well getting off the ground vs a real heavyweight who is slower but again that's back to stand up and unless he fight one with a weak chin, again I cant see him winning.
Submissions maybe?
