    Is Jon Jones RESUME GREATER THAN Muhammad Ali? Beating an old Stipe didn`t mean much however since Jones made so many defenses of his light heavy belt before moving up and beating Gane is his resume in his respective combat sport better than Ali`s overall?

    It's always hard to compare resumes from two entirely different sports. It becomes extremely subjective. I will say that Jones' resume is phenomenal. He is a special fighter despite his many moral failings as a human being.

    Half of Jones' opponents were undersized LHWs whose best days were best them. Insulting to Ali's Foreman and Frazier wins ALONE.

    Jones doesn't have a bigger resume than Ali.
    Aside from Holmes, Muhammad Ali defeated every major name in the HW 60s and HW 70s.
    That is too long a period of time to compare with Ali's two reigns separated by exile.
    For example, Jones hasn't beaten Ngannou yet...

    I was a little blunt there. JJ has had great MMA career but it doesn't hold a candle to the monumental legacy Ali left behind.

    Facts. Maybe the Floyd of MMA would be more appropriate
