theshooter 11 Member Since: 1/1/01 Posts: 4991	Part of the thing with Jon Jones' reach is that he fights at 205 lbs. when he could easily fight as a heavyweight. The guys at heavyweight are obviously bigger so his reach advantage if the heavyweight division would be less of a factor than it is at 205 lbs. You have ignored this user.

Not true at all....

Reach of top HW's"

JDS: 77"

Cain: 77"

Cormier: 71"

Mir: 79"

Werdum: 77"

Reach of LHW's Jones has faced:

Bonnar: 80"

Vera: 78"

Shogun: 76"

Bader: 74"

Obrien: 76.5"

Of course there are LHW's he's faced with shorter reaches, but there are also HW's with shorter reaches like Pat Barry. As stated above, reach isn't the issue. Bendo had zero issue with Nate's reach. It's a matter of these fighters being good enough to deal with it.

You forgot one..

You're right dude, just watching the Henderson Diaz fight made me realise again what a redundant and retarded argument it is.

Lets hypothetically say two fighters are identical in every way except one has a four and a half inch reach over the other, you don't think that would be any kind of a advantage?

It definitely would, reach matters but only if a fighter knows how to use it, although I can't understand ppl calling it unfair. Phone Post

so he has skinny legs like jon jones? and i'm talking about the reach argument, not the skill argument. i take your point dude but i'm talking about the ridiculous argument of 'it's unfair he has longer arms'

I absolutely do think its an advantage... Just not an unfair one.. Sorry dude, maybe you haven't seen the many threads from people here complaining that its unfair and that he should go to heavy weight etc etc.. Watching the Diaz Henderson fight just reminded me of what a redundant and retarded skid mark of a point it is. Phone Post
