    I honestly don't believe J.Jones can compete against guys his own size.
    So until he moves up and fights opponents his size or bigger he won't be regarded as the pound for pound champ like Silva.
    This brings up one big issue I have with boxing and MMA. Weigh-ins need to occur the day of the fight, not the day before. This will force fighters to fight at their natural weight instead of dropping insane amounts of weight to fight at a smaller weight class, then putting back most of that weight during fight night. Jon Jones is one of the vast majority of fighters who cut a lot of weight. Forrest Griffin walks around at 240! GSP walks around at 194. Thiago Alves walks around 205 and cuts to 170! This was one reason why I was such a huge fan of Fedor when he fought. It is also a reason why I enjoy watching Cain and Frankie Edgar fight.

    I disagree about Jones though. Eventually (hopefully after his next fight if he and Silva don't sign a fight contract), Jon will move to heavyweight; and I believe he will win the title. His athleticism and skill level are just insane.
