5 Frank Mir---beats Jones
6 Josh Barnett---Beats Jones
7 Daniel Cormier---beats jones
8 Antonio Silva----beats Jones
9 Shane Carwin---Beats Jones
10 Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira---Jones has a chance, just because Nog is not in his prime anymore
The fact is Jones is not big enought to deal with these HUGE HW as of now. In a few Years and packing on several pounds of real bulk he can, but not now.
Jones may still have a reach advantage on everyone, but the power difference is HUGE. If Cain, Carwin, Comier or Josh wanted it on the ground they can get it there. JDS, AO and Bigfoot are monsters and beat Jones standing. IMO, Mir can take him aswell.
So I guess I don't see how that is a bold statment. I think you are confused on the difference between a guy that walks around at 220 and a guy that fights at 250+. Big ass difference | I actually think Jones could beat Shane Carwin if he was to move up right now. He would pick Carwin appart for days on end and dump him on his ass if he was to get in close.

I think Jones can beat most of the hws actually with the exception of maybe JDS and Overeem. | No matter what your girlfriend says....size does matter

Jones/Kongo or Jones/Mir could be very interesting IMO.
If they wanted to highlight his abilities at HW and give him a chance to sink or swim, Big Roy would be a good fight.
For now, though, he's sitting at LHW and that's where he belongs.
Although he's been incredibly dominant, it's kind of silly to call for him to move up after just 2 title defenses at this point. Moreover, it's INCREDIBLY stupid to overlook Henderson or Evans in any fight.
