I think Alistair Overeem would destroy Jones, as would Velasquez, but I don't consider those fair fights considering the weight difference. Jones is really not a heavyweight, though he could certainly clean the clocks of a lot of middle tier and even some top tier heavyweights.
I can't think of anyone else right now. Pretty crazy stuff from Jonny Bones.

I gotta agree with my boy Lynx Guy, Jones looked outstanding! I said going into this fight that nothing that happned in the fight would suprise me with two such unpredictable combatants. However Jones tore up Shogun on the feet and took him down when ever he got a little tired of beatin on his ass on the stand up game. I would defenetly have to move him to either the # 3 spot, Aldo has not nearly been as dominant as Jones on his rise to super stardom. As for who at 205 could beat jones, after that I am going to say Rashad is the only one who has a chance, as he has trained with Jones and has stellar striking and wrestling, havin said that I think the shear size and unorthadox nature of Jones will be enough to overwhelm Rashad. Can't wait for his first title defense, and hopfully a long healthy career filled with handing hopeful champions their ass on a platter.

I am actually interested to see him fight Rashad though. Rashad is very quick for a LHW and has pretty good wrestling. Rashad also trained with him constantly so he should have some idea of how to attack him.

the only other point i'd make about jon jones is that there are probably a few dozen other guys out there like him, only they are in the nba . . . and the nfl . . . and major league baseball. it's not that jones is a once in a generation athlete, it's that he is one of the first examples of supreme athletic talent that would ordinarily go into more lucrative sports instead going into mma. as the sport grows i expect more guys like him to emerge.

The only question I have is how many times does Jones defend his belt before moving up? I say 7.
