none you stated make any difference (i stated that his best weapon is his size and his one punch power and the Shogun fight is a perfect fitting example).
rankings can go down the toilet, use your eyes and tell me OSP is a legit top fighter with real chances to win a title.
he has a puncher chance against everyone, sure, but that's it. really.
Jones on paper was supposed to walk through him instead he raised some question marks about his conditions after that fight.
i repeat: that version of JJ was very different from any other version of him, before and after.
OSP is a dangerous fighter, and has the power and submission ability to get a victory over anyone in the top 10 of the LHW division. Even DC showed vulnerability in his last minute replacement fight in A. Silva and got badly hurt by a body kick in the 3rd round. Last minute replacement fights over top 10 fighters are never easy. Bisping over Rockhold, Ortega over Frankie and Nate over Conor. I can give many examples of upsets, Jones dominated 50-44 and didn't even get touched. His victory was very similar to his wins over Rashad and Glover; there was nothing unusual about his performance; other than he didn't seem to want to take it to the ground even though he could have easily done so.
