    anyone who is judging roy's "glass jaw" based on the last 5 yrs should delete their accounts because they clearly don't appreciate what RJJ brought to boxing as a whole.

    I think if I am right he had to get off the scales sharpish, so the measurement may have been off. :huh

    Legitimate Glass Jaws get exposed early and dramatically, ie Khan. Nobody, no matter how fast and how good his reflexes are, can make it to 35 without even being hurt much, much less KO'd; all fighters get hit, you can't hide a China chin.

    If you want to say he less a less than granite jaw, or even 'weak chin' fine, you can sort of make a case for that, but calling him a glass jawed joke is rediculous; what does that make Amir Khan, a cheesecake jaw?

    Roy Jones was one of best boxers of all time. His flame burnt very brightly, but not for as long as some would have hoped. When his legs gave out he was always going to get caught. Loosing that weight didn't help. Boom KO. Sad way to end a legendary career.
