Roy Jones' chin isn't as bad overall as people make it to be.

Except for the Del Valle kd(Which could've been called a slip, it's debatable), you can't really name a time where his chin failed him in his prime. He toke some flush shots by Hopkins & Toney but he was fine. After dropping all of that muscle after the Ruiz fight is when you really saw the lack of Jones' punch resistance. For Jermain, he gets stopped later in fights it's not like he doesn't take good shots before getting ko'd. I remember Abraham caught him flush one time with a right and though groogy, Jermain kind of shook it off. If he had a bad chin he would've gone down. With Judah, yes his chin gets put on blast but I don't think it was as bad as people make it. Probably below average but I remember he was taking good shots from Floyd & Cotto without going down.

What's the science behind why this ruins punch resistance?:think

Man, that's fu*ken crazy. Fighting with bare fists with no vasoline. That guy's face was shredded. I bet a little vasoline would've reduced his injury significantly. Can you imagine having to fight a guy like Kimbo slice like that? I would have no chance. He would laugh at the flush shots i land on him. Even in that video, he was letting that other guy just hit him.

Slice was KOd by a jab. He has no chin.

I agree with you. RJ had a solid chin prior to the Tarver loss. But afterwards his punch resistance did decrease.

Yep. Also, Jones was so mentally strong in the first Tarver fight because he wanted to prove to people he could come back and be the man again. I don't no what the hell happened to his chin in the second fight as both guys came to fight. In the third, Roy look uninterested and was not hungry at all. I don't remember if Lacy landed any good shots on him but I'll find out in a few weeks time.

Nevermind, in the video I showed he does take good hits by Tarver. I meant to say after the first Tarver fight is when you saw Jones' lack of punch resistance. Thanks for correcting me. To answer your question, I think dropping alot of weight does effect your endurance though I could be wrong.
