I remember him saying this too during Hopkins-Jones II. He said that when you get older punches to the temple affect you more than chin shots.

I'm watching it right now because I recorded it and Ray said,Once you reach a certain age you may possess that same speed, courage, heart, and confidence but at some point. I don't know, I may be wrong, but I think I'm right. You can't hit Floyd on the chin that's not going to happen, but if you catch him on the temple, for some reason that's an Achilles heel. It may prove to be that.Comment

that shot was on the side of the neck/head NOT on the temple.
