Roy and Lennox... history of their chins?

[T-Hop]

There is a point in every RJJ fight when he takes a couple square on the chin, including the Ruiz fight. He had only gone down once previous to the Tarver fight, and even that knockdown, against Lou Del Valle, was a half slip. The only reason Roy has chin troubles now is the way he cuts weight. When you burn as much muscle as he did, you inevitably lose fluids around your brain and spinal cord. He just didn't have enough excess weight to cut and it hurt him tremendously. Face it guys, he's never had a glass jaw.

Zelko Mavrivik or whatever his last name was had LEwis hurt in the seventh round and in the first fight with Holyfield Evander said before the fight that he was going to ko Lewis in the third, in that round Evander came out like a man on a mission and definately had LEwis hurt....after that it was all down hill for Commander Evander. (I remeber that fight well, I lost a lot of money!)

Maybe I need to watch that McCall fight, I only saw a brief clip on the TV when Lennox retired. It looked like a flash punch with no weight behind it, but it was over so quickly.

Glad to hear someone thinks Roy had a chin at one point. Even though I've only known about Roy's career for such a short time (since he took Clinton Woods apart) I've already grown to love the guy as one of my favourites.

WAtch the fight again it was no flash punch...the both were coming in at each other...it wan't the biggest punch ever but it was the perfect shot.

Here's where I sound like the biggest leech who ever lived... but I noticed with my last post I'd reached 100 (look, I'll donate some cash when I've got some spare, okay? This is a great forum) yet I still can't find the downloads section.

This is by far the best boxing forum I've ever been to, and I aim to stick around (if that's not too bad a thing for the rest of you) but I'm not going to deny I WOULD like to see some fights. In the UK Don King prices us out of the market... I've never seen Chris Byrd.

both jones and lewis are gauranteed hall of fame status and both had very successful careers

Yeah, they ARE, but what about their chins?

As for the clips - I've found them. They must have come up post-100. I won't be greedy, but I will enjoy a couple. Is Tyson-Holyfield in there?

[The Fix]

their chins shouldnt be in question everything they had set out to accomplish they have

[Guest]

Somehow I don't think scraping a points win and then getting KOed twice was how Roy wanted to bow out.

Roy Jones- Roy never had a good chin its just he was so fast his chin was never really tested.

Lennox Lewis- same thing(bad chin)but you have to give him props because he avenged both loses.
