Stocky/fat fighter=naturally smaller=BS?

Nelson's clearly not a 'natural' HW, his frame isn't. Not that I care or think he could have better success at lower weight classes.

Werdum is just a huge guy in general as well.
 
The OP is right, there are 5'10-5'11" guys with similar heights and reach fighting effectively in every weight class from BW to HW (not too many HWs but there are a few), the only difference is the amount of muscle and fat they carry which is can almost totally be controlled by diet and exercise

Height and reach is not everything, we usually operate in 3 dimensions after all....

Walel Watson and Hunt may have same height/reach, but Hunto is incomparably more powerfully built - bigger bones, bigger joints, broader shoulders/hips/knees, bigger skull and so on....

Absolutely no amount of weight lifting or whatever would make Watson any similar to Hunt, he was just born much smaller.
 
Am I supposed to think that Pat Barry's frame is the same as Pablo Garza's?
