No, he isn't even the biggest now. Longest? Yes. He has the longest reach. But only two inches more than Bonnar, who is infinitely less successful. There are many, many lanky fighters who aren't near as successful as Jones. Knowing how to use your physical abilities to your advantage is a talent in of itself.
Lol no he has chicken legs, guys like Bonnar, Forrest, Tito... are just as big or bigger. So is Phil Davis who said he cuts from 225 ( Jones from 220-215) and has no chickes legs
No, he's not even close to being the biggest 205er. He walks around between 220-230 and cuts to the LHW limit from under 220. As far as actual weight is concerned, there are much bigger guys in the division. There are also several LHWs in the UFC who are the same height or taller (i.e Gustafsson, Diabate, Bonnar, Rosa, Kingsbury). While Jones does have a well-developed upper body, his legs are tiny. Check out how skinny his lower body looks in this workout video: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfeIHa_ep94[/ame] The only remarkable thing about Jones in terms of his size is his freakish arm length.
He isn't uncordinated for a 6'4 guy and he isn't gangly. His upper body is well built. Its his legs but so far his base doesn't seem weak despite the chicken legs. Thats the only real downfall. I think his upper legs aren't so bad and it might just be his lower legs which are really underdeveloped. Overall weak lower legs isn't ideal but deceptive as to his size.
Thom is right actually. Alot of big guys at 205 who make a huge cut but are massive - Bonnar, Kingsbury, Diabate etc
