I want to make a wifebeater joke but i honestly dont know if mayweather hits women.
Jon Anik argues that Jon Jones has surpassed other undefeated greats in combat sports.
UFC heavyweight champion Jones has one blemish on his professional MMA record – a disqualification loss to Matt Hamill in a fight he was dominating. Jones, a former longtime UFC light heavyweight champion, has now also defended his heavyweight title when he finished Stipe Miocic by Round 3 TKO at UFC 309.
Although the likes of Joe Calzaghe and Floyd Mayweather finished their careers undefeated, Anik thinks Jones (28-1 MMA, 22-1 UFC) has tested himself more than the boxing greats.
“I think, with respect to Joe Calzaghe and Floyd Mayweather, that Jon Jones has already pushed himself beyond those guys,” Anik told MMA Junkie. “Even if people want to denigrate the Stipe win because it happened at 42 years of age, I don’t think there really is anything left for Jon Jones to accomplish. But there is financial gain to be had.”
Jones is currently receiving criticism for being unwilling to fight interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall. Jones argues that Aspinall adds nothing to his legacy, and Anik thinks money is the only thing Jones can gain from a risky fight against the Brit.
“What he wants like that $30-40-50 million dollar payday, which he so deserves at this time because in heavyweight MMA, anything can happen,” Anik said. “And certainly, in light heavyweight MMA anything can happen, but the consequences are so great when it comes to four-ounce gloves that these guys chuck.”
He sure did. Floyd really was a trailblazer for Jon
I hate Jon so much.
You dont like chucking gloves?
the consequences are so great when it comes to four-ounce gloves that these guys chuck.”
Me too. Fucking loathe Anik. Makes Goldberg seem like a mensa member.
What is this tards reasoning? The “article” was like 5 sentences and didn’t seem to offer any explanation as to how Jon has surpassed others.
God I fucking hate these UFC company men, Anik is s spineless little fucking weasel.
Floyd won 15 major world championships spanning 5 weight classes. No one Jon’s record is a Manny Pacquiao.
I am a Jones fan, but he ducked Francis.
Two words - Rocky Marciano
Well Floyd isn’t the GOAT of boxing and Jones isn’t the GOAT of MMA.
But lol at Jones passing Mayweather.
All of this ^^ except I think it is very arguable that Jones is the greatest in MMA.
I don’t.
He’s the best LHW.
But he moved up to pad his legacy in a historically weak HW division, vs very underwhelming opponents.
I think there’s at least a few historic HWs that would have beat Jones, and a bunch more that it could go either way.
Being undefeated doesn’t necessarily make one the GOAT IMO.
So who is the goat then?
Seems bit weird to rule someone out because you feel like there were once guys at the weight class above that would have beaten them.
I think DC would have destroyed many a great HW, and Jones crushed him.
Fedor
So Jones is ruled out because you THINK he would have lost to certain HW of a certain era but Fedor is good even though he actually lost to guys two weight classes below him?
Shit Anderson has an easy win (destruction) over the MW that beat Fedor. Na can’t go along with that. GOAT HW fair enough but that’s it.
