    rico spadafora is in the top 5 posters in esb history. he has never lost a debate on here and everything he says, he backs up with irrefutable fact. anyone who thinks that roy jones junior doesn't have a fragile glass jaw knows jack **** about boxing.

    roy jones is a steroid cheat with a china mandable. anything he fraudulently achieved in boxing should be declared void.

    roy folded like a lawn chair everytime he faced adversity, he had no plan B and couldn't adapt in the ring when the going got tough :deal

    It doesn't help your cause to identify with a guy that has thousands of posts and close to 75% of them are from his hatreat of Roy Jones...or glass jaws...

    Mentally deranged ? Bi-Polar ? Whatever the **** it is...it's sad...

    I know quite a lot about boxing thank you, and Roy's chin was just fine for the vast majority of his career. Some of you just don't want to understand the real reasons why the end of career wasn't as stellar as most of it previously... It's much easier to say he was a cheat, china chin, etc. when the agenda is nothing but hating the man !!

    the agenda is irrefutable fact, nothing else :deal

    roy jones never beat a unified or lineal champion in his entire career. he feasted on sanitation workers, and is a proven drug cheat with a fragile glass jaw.

    For starters, legit boxing fans recognize that completely outclasssing James Toney is better than any other boxers have done before or since at 168lbs.

    As if beating a lineal champ is the only important thing in boxing... With that mindset, beating a guy like Carlos Baldomir is an unbelievable achievement now. :lol:

    If it's so easy to beat a heavyweight champ when you start a career at 160lbs, why don't more guys try ? The true fact is that it's ****in' hard for a much smaller man.

    There's no irrefutable facts that Jones had a bad chin before the Tarver II KO. He took many flush shots over 15 years, including some from Ruiz, you know the heavyweight that had previously knocked down Evander Holyfield... Just go watch more tapes before saying irrefutable stupidities :deal.

    Truest thing ever. HBO helped push Floyd and Roy along and hyped them to be "perceived" better than anyone. "Look how fast they are" "nobody can beat them" and "anyone they fight its a treat" Looking great pot shoting is good for WWF but against some of the world class talent they should have fought the C+ chins would have shown there faces much more often.

    They obviously know when they get rocked in sparing and the legs go out what style fighter can hurt them and they steer clear of the ones that resemble them.

    Oh for crying out loud. There is NO way to prove this, yet people state it like fact. The only thing we know is those shots took out an old Roy Jones.

    Now I happen to believe that Jones's chin was NOT as bad as some portray in his prime - but it clearly went south pretty damn quick. You don't get taken out like he did without some chin problems.

    :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

    No, what we know is it knocked Glass Jaw Roy out cold. Then he was brutally KOed by feather fisted Glen Johnson.

    What needs to stop is the "that punch would have KOed anyone crowd"

    Jones used the "try not to get hit flush on the jaw" strategy. Sounds like a crazy tactic, I know.

    Exactly. These people have NO evidence to prove this, yet they assert it like it is fact. When somebody gets starched, multiple times, by different fighters, the common denominator is the CHIN of the fighter getting starched.

    And in Jones' case - while we can't say for certain that his chin was glass in his prime, it is pretty clear that when he got old, his chin got pretty damn brittle, pretty damn fast. In fact, I would say it's CRYSTAL clear!!!!
