Who is that? Cain? Both Cain and JDS would beat Jones. A fight with either Cormier or Werdum would be very interesting as well.
Yep I think werdum could surprise a lot of people against jones. I'm praying for a bones/Cain fight, I wanna see how jones deals with constant pressure from an animal like Cain. Junior could knock his block off but I think bones would play it smart maybe tire him out and get him down, Juniors the last guy he wants to get hit flush by. Daniels size bothers me, he dominated Josh but bones is more complete i see him putting on a boxing clinic from the outside but I can also see him putting jones on his back its a tough one to call.

No way? Wow. And you're calling me delusional. Jones goes into virtually every LHW bout with a size and strength advantage [a major reason for his dominance] . Both of which will be negated in a match with either Cain or JDS or even Cormier for that matter. I see JDS stuffing his TDs and KOing him or even out-striking him to a decision win. I see Cain mixing things up and keeping Jones on his toes. He'll grind out a victory and will outwork Jones to a decision or even a ground & pound finish. Cain will primarily work his takedowns, ground and pound, clinch work. As a result, Jones will be more tentative in his striking and will leave openings for Cain to capitalize.

Jones has gotten tired/slowed down in the Shogun, Rampage and Rashad fight. His cardio is good, but definitely not top notch.

We're delusional but you say jones will beat Cain because he has top notch cardio even though Cain has the best cardio at HW:stopitslime: we've never seen jones face anyone like Cain who will no doubt push forward and grind Bones down. If jones had displayed any knock out power in his hands I'd be a little convinced he beats Cain but Cain has never been submitted and has only been ko'd by the divisions best boxer. Bones damn near broke his toe off wrestling with a middleweight

Jon's has KO power with strikes due to his elbows and knees which are both devastating
his pathetic boxing is his only weakness, but the skill wise ain't none of the HW seeing him

Jon Jones has arguably the most devastating elbows in MMA. But, where did you get the idea that he has devastating knees? When has he finished or even hurt a fighter via knees? I remember him kneeing Shogun good a few times, but other than that, I don't remember these 'devastating knees'. Jones, minus his elbows, does not have KO power.

JDS and Cain are two very skilled HWs, so to say no HW is seeing him in terms of skill is just plain dumb.

them knees he did on shogun especially the flying knee took all the gas out of him, the man has powerful knee and elbow strikes
he just doesn't have head movement and footwork of a boxer, but at the same time he has his own style and way to measure distance

Cain exposed JDS, I believe Cain's injury in the first bout is what lead to that performance,
Cain is not a big HW, when Jon Jones move up to HW he will be bigger than him and have a reach advantage

Cain didn't expose JDS, both are great fighters. And both fighters went into that fight injured, so there goes your injury excuse for Cain.
