Anyone else agree that Roy Jones always had a glass chin?

Ok, than tell us exactly what you do to determine how hard a punch is. Dazzle us with your analytical brilliance!

heres an example,do I need to take a punch from both paulie malignaggi and arthur abraham to figure out who hits harder? Do I need to be in the ring taking the huge punch to know that hearns hit duran with a devestating shot?

Obviously Abraham is the harder puncher. That still gives you no idea how hard Jones was hit during his career. Are you trying to say he never took any flush hard shots before finally getting stretched?

Do us all a favor and quit trolling with you new avatar and user name. It's obvious you cannot be objective about this so arguing with you is senseless. Jones had a fine chin till he was past his best. If this weren't true he would have been ko'd long ago by the likes of Hopkins, Toney, McCallum, Tate, Sosa, Johnson, Griffin and Del Valle.

Exactly. Not trying to say it was granite, but it was a solid beard. People don't realise that you aren't going to even ****ing get to the stage where you can fight guys like James Toney and Hopkins if you have no chin. You will get found out at club fighter level, or even in the gym sparring. Too many of these people talking **** haven't even put a pair of gloves on, power punches from guys like Toney or Johnson, guys who live and breath fighting, they ****ing hurt.

Did he have a great chin? No, but it certainly wasn't glass.
Jones had a style which put him in vulnerable positions, but he was so fast in his prime that he used it to set traps. As a result when he started to slip he was susceptible to clean power punches more so than a fighter with a more orthodox style. The drop from heavyweight also weakened his beard.
You can't say he had a glass jaw though, he took some shots from Ruiz and held up, a glass chinned Light heavyweight does not hold up to a HW punch.

His chin has always been the same, he never took a lot of punishment through out his career so I cant see how someone can say his chin suddenly decreased during the last quarter of his career.

Tarver punished him in the 1st fight, and finished him in the 2nd.

Alot of Tarvers punches landed on Jones gloves and arms, although I do remember some of his straight lefts getting between Jones's guard.

If I remember correctly I scored rounds 1 and 2 and 10 to Tarver and the rest for Jones

That's true, but he also landed some great punches on roy's chin. In round 9 and i believe, he almost knock roy out.

I think it was the straight right he landed at the end of round 10, which had Roy's legs wobbling, I never seen Roy react like that to a punch before

Don't forget about the weight loss.
