But the boy hasn't been tested through and through yet. AS I noted, someone will find a weakness and exploit it, and the true test of a champ is coming back from that.
GSP has a bit of a suspect chin.
Silva can't deal with with good wrestlers.
Lesnar couldn't take a punch without turning into worlds biggest pussay.
Chuck Liddell turned out to have a suspect chin as well (rampage found it first)
EVery fighter has a weakness. Jones is young and hasn't fought a ton. Lots of ability but like every fighter walking the planet, he has a weakness and someone will find it. Thats why I don't jump on these bangwagons. I wait to see if a guy can hack it after he's been through the grinder a bit.

you take yourself too seriously in this thread. There's nothing wrong with rooting for a guy and being a fan.
You seriously going to take the, "I'm not a fan because I haven't seen him get rocked" stance?
That's pretty lame. You are basically sitting here and discrediting what the kid has accomplished because he's not a vet rather than congratulating him for what he has done in such a short career.
You cant deny the fact that he has a tremendous reach and size and knows how to use it, has an epic ground game, capable of an array of submissions and is incredibly versatile.
That small list I just mentioned will keep him at the top of this sport for a long long time. You can't say that about too many fighters.
