    Glass chin?

    So far, hes been down from a punch he did not see. He got up from that punch.


    He went down againt Johnson and was KOed by his head hitting the mat. Whether he would of got up is unknown. Mind you he took a beating for 9 rounds before this.


    Felix will not have the power to do it. He will be slow and flat footed. I just dont see how Felix can win.

    RJJ has long been out of his prime so losing to any fighter at this point shouldn't be considered an upset anymore.

    How is it the year of the upset just because one upset happens? Besides, both fighter are effectively washed up! Tito is two years from a real fight, and Roy is just NOT himself anymore. His two knockout losses clearly have changed the way he thinks about fighting, especially in regards to throwing with power, trying to finish his opponents, etc etc.

    The question is not who is a BETTER fighter, but who is not as bad as the other!

    Tito may win, sure, but does it actually matter?

    JC dude you can get a point out of a boiling ball...rationalisations...rationalisations...this is funny...

    The punch the hook that Tarver connecter put RJJ to sleep before he hit the canvas and so did Glencoffe, he was so KO that his head bounced like a basketball, that's how out he was before he hit the canvas...let's not forget the upper cut that cut RJJ on the chin and wouble him on Tarver III 10th round, unfortunately slopy Tarver was gsed to finish RJJ...

    that hook that tarver through did not put roy "to sleep". you can say that he wouldn't have done much if the ref didn't stop it, but you can't be unfair in saying he was KTFOed.

    now against glen johnson, roy was thoroughly KTFOed. no disputing that. however, that doesn't mean he has a glass chin. I've always agreed with Manny Steward when he said that Roy took that fight too soon. You don't recover from knockouts too soon and too well.
