Roy Jones questionable chin

I think roy was awesome in his prime but... had he ever gotten tagged hed of been koed by a big puncher, the last thing to go is your chin and roy got koed by 1 punch kos both tiimes because his reflexes were shot, I agree with emanuel steward tommy hearns would have been a nightmare for roy

Big puncher like Bernard Hopkins? Like James Toney? Like Lou D? Roy had/has a good chin. The shots that knocked him out would knock out anyone. And that Tarver right hook he stood up from would have finished anyone else.

I disagree Majesty (there's a first ;) ) I think his chin disappeared when he juiced up, he used to have a fair one, but since the move o HW I think he's had trouble with his chin. Tarver rocked him easy, but back in the day he had an excellent chin. But he was so good it hardly mattered, he couldn't be touched anyway.

The weight up and down hurt him. Roy didn't juice though. You didn't hear about the A and B samples did you

He was never known for his chin but his speed... He was didn't need a chin... and for the record when he fought Toney and Hopkins he still could keep those hands down... He started to lose when he lost his reflexes... Speed... I don't think he ever had much of a chin... Thats not something you grow into.. He just never got ht!!

I heard but I'm unconvinced bro. You've seen the letter too huh? We'll never know, but either way, Roy was great, he didn't need the beard when he was at his best. And your right, the weight did hurt him, but he's a 3 weight middle - heavy champ and thats something very very special.
