To all those who attribute jones success to his size...

After this fight, Jones can never say that Reach is irrelevant, Reach is absolutely relevant and him fighting GUS proved that.

He needs a solid jab really bad, he looked a bit stiff and flat footed

I think that anyone who has trained any type of striking....and has so with someone that is a few inches shorter and has a reach disadvantage, can figure out that Jon has a big edge over his opponents. Now it doesnt work out for everyone like a Struve for example. Jon had the advantage that he is a great athlete and a skilled fighter with a great coaching staff.
 
in the very first time Jones fought a top fighter of his size/age...he got screwed. This fact has major implications in the P4P discussion.

...and so? Yeah, Jones uses his body and physical ability to his advantage. So what? Isn't that the point of playing sports?
