Anderson might be able to fight with jones on the feet but we've never seen anderson fight a guy with a longer reach then him
Forrest griffin, who has very long arms.
And as far as subs go, Anderson has the length to pull a sub on jones. He is a much better ground fighter than rua and rua had plenty of opportunities.

How could you possibly say that a size advantage gave Jones the victory? Size doesn't give you incredibly precise striking, good takedowns, submission defense, etc.
Yeah, dude may be a freak but he knows what to do with it and even when he got in trouble he didn't stay in it long. I mean Struve sp? is a freak in heavyweight but he got pummeled by Roy Nelson who was at a distinct height/ reach disadvantage. And I know Struve is also nowhere near the athlete Jones is but that comes from hard work can't knock a guy for that.

James Irvin? Forrest griffin? Leben? All guys he dropped. Bones has not dropped one fighter in the UFC due to punches. I'm not saying he can't, but silva has a history of knockdowns and kos.

Looking at it they were both at 77.

The only thing left for some of you to do is go down to Jones' gym and suck his dick. The guy was impressive tonight but to all of a sudden show this much praise and proclaim him better than guys like Anderson Silva, Lyoto Machida, etc is the most retarded thing I have ever seen. I'll wait and see how he defends the title before I proclaim him the greatest light heavyweight to step foot into a octagon.

Silva vs Jones would be a Jones win in my opinion. Silva was destroyed by Sonnen till he pulled out a triangle choke. Jones' wresting is MUCH better than Sonnen in my opinion. I think it would be an amazing fight.

like comparing dog shite to ice cream, Jones would absolutely wreck any of these guys

didn't see the fight. was rua out of shape and winded by first round?
Posted on 3/20/11 at 12:45 am to LSUSaintsHornets
jones is a special talent. rare combo of power speed and athleticism and he's a damn good young martial artist. He's going to be champ for a long time.

His wrestling might not be as crisp as sonnens but what makes him so devastating is his ground and pound. The way he can drive his elbows into people is nasty

And anderson would embarrass Stephen bonner, Jake obrein, Matt hammill, and Vera. That's not the point. The point is jones has 0 punch knockdowns or kos. I'm not even saying he can't. All I'm saying is silva has better punching power.
