Seriously ,how many more dam threads are we going to have on this matter ?The man was knocked out twice after 15 ****in yrs !!!

I think its safe to assume his chin is fine !!

Why is it that the dumb asses keep infecting these boards ???

 

I may think the way he got checked in his later fights, RJJ already had a glass chin and really got an incredible defense. But hey, I'll instead say Roy just got old and couldn't take shots no more like when he was younger.

 

Power and chin (and especially chin) are the last to go with age.

Matter of fact, to many fighters, chin seem to improve with age. See Holyfield, Foreman, Ali, etc.

I Jones got away with his movement and reflexes during his early years. And add to this, prolly his conditioning. Takes these 2 out and simply isolate Jones chin and you will see that it was never great.

Ali during the 60s has taken a lot of punishment. During the 70s, when his reflexes began to fade, his chin stood up for him as a testament that he really had great chin. Can not say the same for Jones.

 

worse than judah.

 

so is it safe to assume it was china all along??

 

No, but it wasn't great.

 

Exactly. But the starter of the thread didn't give that option, so I was forced to say he had a glass jaw - I chose this rather than saying he had a solid chin which he obviously doesn't have.

 

So he took a flush shot from a heavy and took flush shots in all of his fight with Tarver prob more in the first fight with Antonio and wasn't dropped .He gets hit with one lucky punch then folds after an accumilation of punches in the Johnson fight and now after his 15 yr reign and up in age his chin is not that solid ??


I really want to know what people are smoking !!

Beucase if thats the case every fighter who have ever been KO'ed has questionable chin !!!atsch

I guess its safe to assume that every fighter who's ever suffered a KO has a questionable chin as well with this logic !!

 

Those shots he got hit with are not hard.

Tarver never hit him solidly in the first fight.

Tarver hit him with a very hard left in the 2nd fight, he got koed.

Tarver hit him with a solid right hook in the 3rd fight, Jones legs turned rubber.

There is a good reason why he is reluctant Roy all these years - he himself knew his chin is not that great.

 

This (and W. Klit's chin/stamina) has to be the most beaten to death subject on here. Who gives a ****?

 

No, you just simply altered the formula to fit your agenda. It's not my fault don't know an average chin (Lewis) from a bad one (Wlad). Ignorance is obviously bliss where you are from.

Your analysis is horrible, and full of excuses for Wlad, like all his pathetic fans.

Yes, Lewis has gone down from 2 hard shots in his career. One he got up from, one he did not. Wlad has been down what, 11 times? He does not "absorb" the shots, he falls to the canvas then gets back to his feet. I would venture to say that Wlad has never been hit by a shot like the one Rahman hit Lewis with, so your analysis was **** from the start because you still didn't take into account the actual power of the punches that stopped Lewis.
