Really???? Never say never in MMA, especially when talking about a 23 year old super-athlete like mr. bones.

I wouldn't say hes a super athlete... just the first "real" athlete in mma... the next generation of fighter in mma will be the same. Everyone else so far banked on genetics alone.. jones has the genetics and the training.. he could most likely compete in other professional sports.. and any professional athlete should be capable of the same at a min on the physical level.

... :S what? lol. out of all of the fighters in MMA.. you think Jones is the first real athlete? I cant wait to see some of the responses to that statement haha.

As for the Silva/Jones fight. I would have to go with Jones. It just seems like most of the advantages in that fight go to him. He is one of the few who has a reach advantage over silva.. which is a HUGE plus to be able to take that into a match with anderson. Because of andersons ability to use that reach advantage so well. Though Jones isnt quite as precise as Anderson, I dont really know if that would play a huge difference in this fight. I would say he's good enough to land shots, and if all else fails.. he would most likely dominate on the ground. Thats a guy you REALLY dont want on top of you on the ground.. and i dont think Anderson could stop him from taking it their if he decided to. But like Matt said.. I would never say never.. Anderson could very well land a shot and KO Jones. But my guess is if they fought 10 times.. Jones is winning 7-8 of them.

I should also note.. if they fought at the same weight.. Id have them about even. 5/10 of the fights a piece. Weight doesnt always matter in a fight.. but when you are at that high of a level of fighting.. then I'd say it comes into play a bit.
