    Yeah fair enough mate Roy is a legend but when you beat a legend you become a legend is all I'm saying.

    I quite rightfully have extremely low tolerance for glass-jawed fighters, let alone glass-jawed freaks who are packing generational glass

    We only see the kind of generational glass Roy is packing once every 100 years so it's not even accurate to call it generational

    But then when you factor in Roy's PED abuse he literally has the worst chin of all time

    I'm very much an iron-jawed type of guy, as in I'm packing iron myself but also I respect and gravitate towards fellow iron-jawed warriors. If you're packing glass were I come from you don't last long at all

    if he was so weak jawed, he would have been ko’d in his prime. He wasn’t. He fought too long but I don’t regard him as glass jawed.

    Performances like this prove Jones could not fight on the inside or off the ropes at all. Any great fighter who could set him up on the ropes would be serious trouble for him.

    Jones was great but his fanboy wank is incredibly annoying. He was a freak athlete but he couldn't do everything as a boxer. The fact he was on serious PEDs and barely had a single drug test throughout the entirety of his prime also put him to question imo.

    Easily explained. He was roided to high heaven throughout his prime, he barely fought any savage or legit punchers, and he was a lot faster than all the plodders he fought.
