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

[turdleburgle]

People make out as if he only had a weak chin when he come down from heavyweight and when he was old but look at how reacted when Del Valle knocked him down.He was clearly hurt from what looked like an average punch.



he never had a strong chin he just didnt get hit alot

Jones' chin was fine. Look for glass elsewhere.

i dont think he had a glass jaw,he was put to sleep only a couple of times through his long illustrious career,

Jones had a good chin, the glass chin thing started after he was past it and could no longer pull the trigger or take a punch.

I'm not saying it was granite, but he fought a lot of rounds in his career and never lost in his prime.

The DeValle, knockdown wasn't particularly heavy, Roy was straight up. He wasn't staggering around all jelly legged, he clinched a bit and then won every subsequent round!

I never saw any evidence that pre Tarver Roy had a bad chin at all. He took some really good whacks from Griffin in fact!

[mrboxer]

remember a good fighter knows how to protect his chin,roy was good in rolling with the punch but as he grew older and saw his skills starting to diminish he took chances and instead of rolling with the punch he would lunge straight forward,with his chin pointing outwards,this is what got him needing smelling salts for some of those fights were he got walloped,

You're wrong. He wasn't hurt that badly, it was a flash KD. Plus, Del Valle did caught him with the same punch several times after the KD, but it didn't even rocked him. So...

[T.McGrady]

I think he has a good chin.

Roy took plenty of hard punches in his career. Once he moved to heavyweight and back down it sapped his body of a lot of its strength. There are plenty of YouTube videos to show the hard punches Jones took in his pre-Tarver career.

Anyone can put a highlight clip together like that.Jones was all over the place when Del Valle knocked him down.the right hand that johnson knocked jones out cold was weak too.
