Would he do better or worse than Francis. How would it end. After that fight I actually think Jones would at least last longer than 2 rounds purely because of how much rangier, defensive, self preservative and tactical he is compared to Francis who had so much belief in his power he was willing to stand in the pocket and go toe to toe. Probably ends up getting KOd in the later rounds but might be able to evade and clinch to a decision. Loses badly either way. Agree or disagree.

In contemplating a scenario where Jon Jones faces Anthony Joshua in the squared circle, Jones's tactical approach and adaptability could be pivotal in securing a knockout victory. While Joshua boasts tremendous punching power and technical prowess in the realm of boxing, Jones's diverse skill set acquired from his illustrious mixed martial arts career presents a unique challenge. Jones's mastery of distance control and striking versatility, coupled with his ability to seamlessly transition between various combat disciplines, could unsettle Joshua's rhythm and capitalize on openings.
Jones's unorthodox style, characterized by his long limbs and unpredictable movement patterns, could confound Joshua's conventional boxing defense. Leveraging his reach advantage and strategic footwork, Jones might effectively disrupt Joshua's offensive rhythm while patiently seeking opportunities to exploit Joshua's defensive gaps. By employing a blend of feints, angles, and unorthodox strikes, Jones could gradually wear down Joshua's defenses, setting the stage for a decisive knockout blow.
Furthermore, Jones's proficiency in clinch work and close-quarter combat could pose a significant threat to Joshua's boxing prowess. By engaging Joshua in the clinch, Jones could nullify Joshua's punching range and leverage his superior grappling skills to create openings for devastating strikes. Jones's ability to seamlessly transition between striking and grappling exchanges could keep Joshua off balance, amplifying the unpredictability of his offensive onslaught.
In the heat of the bout, as fatigue sets in and both fighters search for openings, Jones's adaptability and composure under pressure could prove decisive. Whether through a well-timed counterpunch, a strategic combination, or a perfectly executed technique, Jones possesses the acumen to capitalize on Joshua's vulnerabilities and deliver a fight-ending blow. Ultimately, in a clash of titans between Jones and Joshua, it's Jones's multifaceted skill set, strategic acumen, and unwavering determination that could culminate in a knockout victory, solidifying his status as a transcendent force in combat sports.

in the cage, JJ kicks his knees out, pokes his eyes out, and strangles him
easier than Gane
in the ring with boxing gloves, he loses. maybe make it a round further than Francis

Idk how the hell you came up with that so fast unless you asked an AI chatbot to answer it or something. Insane take either way. No way Jones beats Joshua in boxing.

Jones won't be able to poke eyes with boxing gloves so Joshua wins

Lol I wrote chat gpt "write a few paragraphs on how jon jones would knock out Anthony joshuan in boxing"
Jones most likely gets slept in round 1. Boxing is his weak point and he doesn't have the power to hurt AJ

Nightmare matchup for Jones, as he would be a smaller man and reach advantage won't help him. He struggled against Gustafan in 1st match and against Thiago Santos (to whom he arguably lost) and also with those gloves poking eyes would be much harder

I think an interesting question is, who would destroy each other worse in their respective sports?
Jones has a pretty solid chin, and would probably get dropped and rocked many times and then brutally knocked out
Jones would probably take AJ down and choke him or finish him with nasty elbows

I think Jones would finish AJ quicker in MMA but Jones would take more damage against AJ in boxing. So depends on how you look at it/what you think is worse in terms of destruction.

In a boxing match Joshua knocks him out.
In an MMA match or a fight in the real world, Jones absolutely destroys Joshua and makes it look easy.

Jones has no power and boxing is his worst discipline. So he has nothing to worry Joshua from unloading.
Joshua could end it with a 40 second flurry in the first. But he would probably take his time figuring Jones out a bit and end it somewhere in the first 4 rounds.
In a cage Jones kicks his calf 2 times and the fight is over.
Or just takes him down and the fight is over.

Thought the same thing- specifically how the sentences are structured.
My take is this-
Jon Jones loses any advantage he has in MMA if he were ever to box due to the gloves.
