      People talk about him taking good shots from a heavyweight... I don't recall Ruiz landing anything substantial.

      Forget all the "he went 50 contests"... someone work on the stats of how many times he took serious shots and how well he took them. I'm not saying his chin is glass but even Wlad rips the piss out of him behind his back.

        hmm

        Ruiz landed substanial shots in that fight that would have KO'd someone with as weak a chin as Jones has, according to you guys. I've seen the fight 6 or 7 times as well as every other fight of his, so no, he does not have a weak chin nor was it ever even brought up until he ****ed his body up in 2004.

          he has all the talent in the world but has no chin and no heart.

          he's a wasted talent.

            I disagree. He just has naturally faster reflexes than everybody else and that's what he relied on, but his talent is over-rated. He's a great athletic talent sure, but his technical skills are awful.

            He's an over-achiever.. so I wouldn't say he's a waste, smart is the word.

                Roy has always been a smart boxer but with his reflexes, handspeed, etc. I think he could have been more. Maybe he was so cautious during his career because he was hiding his glass jaw. Thats the only feasible explanation for the way Roy ran his boxing career.
