    Because he could make a shitload of money in a big event against an extremely popular and accomplished fighter in the sport.

    Trinidad called out Jones and was embarrassed for the 4th time.

    yep, he could use Tito' s name fight a fighter who has been inactive at Jones comfortable weight class...beat him and set up one last payday for Roy.

    ok... lets get it right.

    TITO, called out JONES... and went to don king to make the fight. Roy just didnt pass on it.

    Why the hell was the fight at 170?

    Would it have killed either guy to drop 2 more pounds into a real weight class?

    neither one picked the other.don king orchestrated the whole thing,he talked tito out of retirement&talked him into fighting roy.jones took it because its the biggest fight hes been in since ruiz.
