I would have to say Jon Jones for me. His dynamic ability and his reach are pretty incredible. He seems to be getting a lot better each time he fights which is scary.

I'd say Cain just b/c of the power and size difference.

Thiago Silva. I might not even make the walk to the Octagon. He scares the hell out of me.

@jersey everything you said about diaz but i would add when he was talking soo much crap to me i might get high from his breath. i don't smoke. did you guys hear that after jones fights rampage, and probably evans and machida that if he dominates them he is thinking of going heavyweight. he said he has the perfect dietician and he knows now how he could adjust to heavyweight. i'm all for it as long as he dominates those three light heavyweights.

Dominating all 3 of those guys would be damn near impossible even for Jones. You can count on the fact he won't dominate Rashad. Jones shouldn't even be thinking about going to heavyweight yet. He hasn't even defended the belt yet.

I'm not going to count on this as a fact.  I think Rashad is in some trouble if/when this fight happens.

@p4p. he said he would have to dominate all three of those light heavyweights so that would be 3 title defenses and wins and then he would consider heavyweight. those three fights and if he decided to try to fight a top 10-15 spot heavyweight would still be 18 months away from now. thats alot of if's. i hope he can do it. plus my favorite fighter is rashad evans so i do think he would be his toughest test.

Rashad is 20-1-1 because he's one of the most complete fighters in mma. He is one of my favorites as well and I think he has the best chance of beating Jones out of any lhw. I don't blame Jones for ducking Rashad.

The Jones ducking Rashad argument is ridiculous.  It was a big money fight that would have done huge business. Jones and Rashad were already hyping the fight masterfully. They both wanted the fight. Jones got bad medical advice about his thumb and that's it.

And if anyone is picking anyone to beat Jon Jones right now, I don't know what fights you've been watching.  The guy is a complete freak of nature, one of a kind.

Another reason I believe they held off on letting Evans fight Jones is that Rashad has been out for over a year. They want him to get back into a rhythm by betting Davis (that is they expect him to) so that he doesn't go into the Jones fight with any ring rust.
