The photo is deception. When Bones is in Shape, he always looks like the photo on the right. The photo on the left is when he was injured and got out of shape. He never looked like that in a fight. In fact, here is jones in 2012 before the Belfort fight.
But that's the point. Jones looked completely soft BETWEEN fights. Right now he is deeply between fights and shredded. I think Jones was illustrating that he's more dedicated between fights now. It's kind of a scary thing to wonder how good a fully dedicated Jones can be.
He probably had to be in the gym to stop from using or distract himself. A coked up jon Jones is scary. A dedicated, training right Jon Jones is the best ever.
Jones was obviously juicing before the Cormier fight. There's no way to explain his hormone levels in the prefight tests if he was natural. Anderson Silva has the best overall legacy in the UFC. Jones is right up there in his career so far. He might be the best of all time. I'd love to see him move up to heavyweight after he gets his light heavyweight title back.
Light heavyweight was considered the toughest division until Jon Jones showed up. He ran through everyone and made it look easy. Gustafsson is the only guy so far who gave him a real fight and made it close. I don't know for sure if he's the best of all time. The argument could be made at this point in his career, and he's still young.
Jones has ALWAYS Looked More Cut @ Weigh-Ins...Looking More Cut NOW Speaks to the Fact Dude HASNT Fought in Nearly a Year....His Last Bout PRIOR to That was April of 2014...It's VERY Possible Jones has MATURED Physically In that Span... & Given the Self Inflicted TURMOIL he's Brought Into his Own Life, It's NOT the Least Bit Surprising Jones has REDEDICATED Himself to the Gym, & Is Bustin' his Ass like NEVER Before... REED
LOL. Part of being great is knowing how to use your physical advantages. Gus and Jones are basically the same size but Jones uses his size far more effectively.
But you just said he wouldn't be the GOAT until he beat a legit challenger his own size. And I said Gus was his size. Are you now saying he wont be the GOAT until he "easily" beats a challenger his own size? LOL.
Shoulders look a bit wider than in the pic from 2012. But he has time to cut the weight I guess. Looks like Jimi Manuwa... ::
