How many HW are well rounded like Gus? how many have that gas tank?
The issue that Gus presented with Jon is that he has faster hands that Jon does. At HW Jon would pick up a pretty big speed advantage. I think this fight also shows that Jon has a pretty stout chin and lots of heart. I still think a 240 pound Jon Jones would be the HW champion.
You can't have 240 pound Jones and LHW speed Jones.
Its one or the other and both get beaten by the elite HW's.
Fortunately for Jones there are not many elite HW's!
why would be jones be slower at 240? he would be faster and in better shape if he didnt have to worry about making 205 for weigh ins
Gus did so well because his reach, Speed AND movement. HW has very few who have all three of those things. Jones would do fine at HW since HW is much less skilled then LHW
