If Jones went up to fight people his size...

Jones walks around at 230lb. There are middleweights that walk around at that weight. Jones is a LHW and is fighting people his own size.

Jones could never make it to MW. Most of his remarkable opponents are fighting MW. Need I say more?
 
He is smaller. Have you ever seen them standing right next to each other?

Now post a picture of there wast down. Jones legs looks like Cory hill


Pictures are stupid when talking about size anyways. Jones is 217LB on fight night and i would bet that is a good 10LB SMALLER then Glover


Speaking of Cory Hill, do you consider him the same size as Jones?

Ha!

I love when people post pics of the weigh-ins to prove one guy is bigger than the other... you do realize you've chosen the very moment, and often the only moment, that the two fighters are actually THE EXACT SAME SIZE.

What do Sherdoggers even think weigh ins are for?
 
Jones has to the best of my knowledge never weighed in over the LHW limit. Enough said.

Jones carries more lean mass and is taller. Thus he's bigger

You mean shorter.

There are weight divisions not height divisions.


To OP, why are these type of threads almost always about Jones? What about the other fighters that cut weight (like almost everyone below 205)? No call out to other tall fighters? You going to call for a 6'9"+ division to get those pesky tall guys out of the heavyweight division?
 
If Jones is the super heavyweight some of you make him out to be, then how come he has never had any problems making weight and never complains about his weight cutting (quite the opposite actually).
 
Why do some people think that Jones hides out in 205 to avoid fighting guys his own size? He's naturally a very thin guy. Yes he's tall and has a crazy reach but look at the dude's legs. Very skinny thighs and absolutely no calves.

He has a lot less muscle mass than a lot of guys that he fights and to his credit he can still overpower them or I guess out technique them by using leverage and his very long arms to take them down and his long reach to keep them away on the feet.

IMO, he's fighting where he should be fighting based on his frame and body type.

so many ppl with no sense of logic.

they both weigh basically the same.

yet one is obviously taller and longer.

who's bigger? "errr duuuh ummm its called weight classes not height classes"
 
...or, for that matter, perpetuating this nonsense about Rashad being a "small" 205er.

Evans is relatively short for LHW, but he's a thick torsoed dude with huge legs who busts his ass to make weight. The only time that he seriously entertained a move to MW was after the Jones loss when he said that he would move down only if he could get an immediate shot at Silva.

Rashad is a TINY lhw. No ifs ands or butts
 
lol @ a weigh-ins pic.

He's also thicker than Jones.

He walks around at 230 and starts his camps @ 220.

He is NOT smaller than Jones.

LOL, so? How is Jones fighting people his size when over the half of the people he has faced he has been significantly bigger by reach and height. All this correlates into him being bigger, Glover might be thicker but he is not bigger. If Jones put on weight and weighed up at 240 for a Heavyweight fight he wouldn't even be considered smaller or bigger. He'd be looked as that is his natural weight class. While Glover would be considered a SMALL HW like Pat Barry.

Since when did bigger mean taller and longer?

ok so lets just have him fight Struve and Gus till the end of time so one of these threads never has to be made again.
