    You have to be fair in relation to this thread, and maybe Im a little harsh. But the forum in general turns into Raymond Babbitt ''Im an excelent driver mode'' sometimes in regards to Jones. I just want a discussion without the same ole posts

    My point was, lets see how his career plays out more. One thing I have seen over the many years of fights was the Can't miss....Greatest evers..and so on. But once they lost bad they where never the same. Who knows, JJ might be the best fighter to ever too come along. I just think we should have his career play out more.

    Greatest ever is a different discussion altogether. The thread title asks a prime Wandy vs. Jones.

    Nothings shocking with MMA, here today done tomorrow. Its a young sport and the best athletes arent even in it. Who knows if it has a future. But you take it for what it is now and JJ is the most impressive and potentially the most marketable to come along in the last 5 years.

    Yeah, that good reason being that I engaged this moron in an intelligent and rational manner, he was unable to rebut, and decided to call me a "chinchecking troll" as an excuse not to be thrashed in the debate anymore.

    Wanderlei doesn't need to take jones down because his strength is his stand up. That's how he beat most of his opponent by kicking their ass with his deadly muay thai skills:deal:lol:

    wandy was never technical he was just threw powerful bombs. As seen here

    The combination of the reach disadvantage and jones' jab would make it a bad night for wandy on his best day. It really isn't hard to see this.
