I just cant see Felix Trinidad winning in January...

tito will lose...

 

Tito must go in fo, and he will

 

Alright, I have to admit I just want to take this side because this thread it too one sided.

Remember how much power Trinidad had at 154, and then at 160? Remember how many shots Joppy took from Hopkins and Jermain Talory, then remember what Trinidad did to him. It is not unreasonable to think that Trinidad will carry some pop to 170. Especially against someone who once campaigned at 154 himself.

Another thing to look at is Jones' handspeed. It was still present in his last fight. The only problem is, Trinidad has fought at 147 and 154. He has faced fast opponents in the past. Jones' handspeed won't be a big issue. Jones' power will.

Let's not forget how Jones likes to go to the ropes and let his opponents swing away. Even if Trinidad is moving up in weight does Jones really want to try that in this fight?

Seriously, I do expect Jones' size to play a large roll in this fight when you couple it with his handspeed. Jones' may not be the most powerful light heavy ever, but I think he hits harder than anyone Trinidad had faced. Even though Trinidad has fought larger opponents in the past, he has alway fought like the bigger guy. This may be the first time he actually feels the size difference. Though Roy is at his advanced age, and showed little legs in his last fight, I still favor him considerably. I just think it is important to keep what I mentioned earlier in mind.

 

Maybe if Roy is weight drained @ 170. Remember he hasn't been that low since 1996 or so.

Provided Roy isn't really weakened, I see it being one-sided. Tito hasn't fought since May 2005, and looked awful that night. He's never fought above 160. Roy isn't what he was, but at least he's somewhat active and beating fringe contenders. He still has very fast hands. Tito's always been suspectible to the straight right hand. Roy's straight right is still fast, and most likely harder than the punches Tito has eaten before.

Jones Jr TKO 7 Trinidad

 

RJJ fought at 175 in July. Tito is knee deep in horse ****.
