Why did Roy never fight someone who could test his glass jaw?

    I don't think many could test his jaw until he lost his reflexes.
    That's right! Not only did Glen Johnson test his Roy's chin, he 'Smashed'/'Annnihalated' Roy's chinny-chin-chin! F**k man that's one of the most brutal KO's you'll see! That overhand right was something terrible! Roy looked like he was 55 that fight!

      Hey, anyone ever hear the one about not throwing stones when you're living in a glass house?
      Wasn't Lacy considered a PRIME, elite American fighter at the time and thought unstoppable, and people said Calzaghe had no chance? Oh wait, Lacy was just an overrated bum just like everyone in Calzaghe's career.

        He still depended on his reflexes during the first two Tarver fights. Tarver is a man who looks for mistakes (so he can counter punch) and Roy does lots of those, he just couldn't get away with them anymore because of his diminished speed and reflexes.

        Now he uses a high guard and doesn't depend on his reflexes so much but because of that, his workrate during fights has dropped to a Hopkins-like level and he would get outworked by most of todays LHW's. Maybe not by Tito though.

        His style has evolved a bit to an older mans style.

          Why do people use KTFO in that way. Doesn't it mean Knocked the **** out or Knock that ****er out?

            At this moment in time the Super middleweight division is ruled by European fighters.
            One ELITE fighter in particular by the name of Joe Calzaghe.
            With a nation of 300 million people it seems the American fighters are way underrachieving of late don't you think?

            Did you hear the one about not throwing stones when living in a glass house?
            WHO. IS. THAT?

              I think in both, when someone says, he got KTFO'd, he means he got knocked the *** out. When he said, he KTFO'd him, he knocked him the *** out.

                    Eh, I don't think thats how its supposed to be used, but the poster is probably saying he knocked him the **** out.
