Poatan is not big enough for 205.

Modern MMA fighters cut so much weight that basically the entire middleweight division could fight at LHW, including Poatan who is particularly large for middleweight.

Why did Jones spend time to bulk up? 205 Jones was too small to deal with heavyweights

What does Jones going to heavyweight have anything to do with this discussion?

The guy said Poatan is too small for 205 because he has tiny legs. I pointed out that Jon Jones also had chicken legs when he was the reigning 205 champion.

This has nothing to do with heavyweight.
 
Hes huge, but he might be undersized next to Jan but we must remember Jan probably walks around at 250 or 260, his size is similar to Brock Lesnar or Josh Barnett. Both guys are TRUE HW's fighting at LHW.

??? Skinny legs is a very big advantage. If I want to weigh a lot for my weight class (like 225-230 for weighing in at 205) I want explosive power and speed from my lower body, not tons of tissue to slow me down and have huge oxygen demand. Legs become an albatross when you aren't sprinting or have to fight for 25 minutes.

Skinny legs didn't hurt Jon Jones too much.

Nah, he is a fit 230lbs. Indeed a huge LHW and legit sized HW, but not in the same range than Barnett let alone Lesnar.
 
Here is Tito and Brock. Tito has an inch on Jan and Tito fought at LHW, although Tito also was a gigantic LHW.

Dude you prove nothing with that pic.
We live in 3 dimensions get a grip.
Adesanya is not a bigger man than Mark Hunt
Lesnar is a much larger, thicker man than Jan or Tito, who has made 199lbs.

Bones is tall and lean but he does not have a massive frame and he is not thick. He has skinny legs. He will be out muscled.

I am not trying to criticize your point, I am just saying Tito is not THAT much bigger than Brock as you would imagine at least not the recent Brock. The difference between Adasanya and Hunt is way more than Tito and Brock and now this guy is huge:

He's more than big enough for 205. Is he good enough to be elite there? I really like the guy, but I have doubts. I'm leaning towards Jan.

Obviously he's good as a giant middleweight, but even there he mostly had the right matchups.

Seriously, I dont know what you pretend spamming pics. It's a pretty uneducated, even childish, way to approach the matter.

Jan is 220lbs in the cage. That's his ideal weight. And he is so while not being particularly slim. He is way more bulked up than he was years ago:


Period. It's what it is regardless of any eye test over any pic you can find in Google of him flexing or whatever.

220-230lbs is a legit but rather small sized HW, that's why he is a career-long LHW never missing weight.
