    5+ times out of 10?

    When you get to a certain level you have a chance against anybody, so we'll say 5 or more times out of 10 fights.

    Does any past HW champion beat Cain 5+ times out of 10?

    I don't think any LHW beats Jones more than he loses.

    Anderson obviously clowns any past MW.

    GSP is better than the 2nd greatest WW ever.

    So some current champions are the best we've seen, but what about the rest? :conf

    Discuss. :good

    :hat

    Chuck vs. Bones would've been very interesting.

    Prime Hughes and current day GSP too.

    Bendo would've always smited BJ Penn though.

    Other than Edgar, Penn and dos Santos are the only ones who stand a chance.

    Yeah a wide swinging brawler..impossible to hold down... ask actual decorated wrestlers like Hamil, Bader that were rag dolled by Jones and beat the **** up about bein held down.
    I doubt Jones would have to go for a take down more than likely would KO chuck with his reach/strikes

    How? Penn throws shorter, straighter punches; and is damn near impossible to take down.

    JDS and Penn are probably the most obvious answers but i think its to soon to decide cuz the sport hasnt been around long enough to determent who really was the best.
    MMA doesnt have the age boxing does to where why can say this fighter could most likely do good in todays division
