    It seems to be his temple more than his chin which is fragle.

    agreed.

    To become a fighter at the elite level, you have to have some type of chin. It's not like his chin is on the level of a club fighter. However, when judging his chin on the ELITE level, it just isn't very good. I know he's shot, but the guy is getting KO'd every other fight nowadays. Holyfield is nearly 50 years old & hasn't been KO'd in years. Even in his beating against Toney, his corner had to stop it. Now thats a chin

    And then when Tarver KTFOed Harding in the rematch, it was supposed to be Tarver-Jones, but Jones ran away to fight garbage men.. and Ruiz.

    I aint hearing those excuses for Roy. One of those Euro guys would have beat him too.. probably tall southpaw Collins. :deal

    :lol: he fought tarver a year later after the second tarver-harding fight. i guess that's not quick enough for you. that, plus the fact that he made $10 mil vs ruiz. collins was a good fighter but offered nothing that would have beat jones at 168.

    There was talk of him fighting Lennox Lewis after the Ruiz win. I guess everyone behind the scenes knew to never make that fight from Roy's perspective. Although he would have earned a huge payday.

    His chin had always been glass, he was just good at avoiding taking flush punches.

    RJJ didn't have a glass jaw, no fighter has as many fights as he did without getting seriously cracked many times. BUT - a fighter who's been knocked out gets more and more susceptible to it. His chin is totally cracked now and he needs to get the **** out of the game.

    If Holyfield ever DOES get completely knocked the **** out, you will immediately see a serious decline in his ability to take shots.
