    Every year could be the year of upset.

    But I don't see it happening.

    This would not that big of an upset, not like if Hatton would have beat PBF or if Ibragimov beats Klitschko, those are real upsets. RJJ is no where near his prime, he should still have enough to beat Tito, but his chin has been exposed and his reflexes (and therefore defense) have eroded. So Tito catching Roy Jones one time on the chin, is not inconceiveable.

    If Tito outpointed Roy that would be a big upset. A knockout is something you always have to be afraid of with Roy so it wouldn't shock me.

    Doubt Tito will do it and even if he does it just won't come close to the upsets of 2005.

    No matter who wins, it means nothing. In two out of his last four Jones got knocked colder than dry ice, and not by hall of fame canidates either.Tito got flogged by Hopkins, and shut out by Wright in between knocking the stuffing out of walking , talking punch bag Mayorga. lay offs and cherry picked opponents have done nothing to improve the skills of either guy.Might as well go and match 87 year old Carmen Basillio with the corpse of Sugar Ray Robinson if you just want to throw some former names together.Chances are you'd hardly notice the difference .

    I will say that sure, this fight has nothing on the line other than the pride and legacy of each fighter..Tito after the 2 years hietas came from a embarrasing lost to WW, and RJJ wew all know his embarrasments at the hands of Tarver and Glencoffe...I will say that at this point, anything can happen and probably will...RJJ is no WW, and his chin is flawed, he is slower than what he once was and for a boxer that depend on reflexes rather than boxing skills, he has lost a step, this translate to when a fighter like RJJ go on the inside and get out, on his prime, he knew were he was but know, he might think he pulled out from danger but he is still in full range....great example Tarver v RJJ II, the KO came out of RJJ doing inside work pulling out and getting caught by a punch he never saw...this could be dejavu all over again...with Glencoffe the same deal, trying to move and waeave to evade the 1-2 combo, at his prime his distance would ahve been flawless, yet it was not on this fight he was a full step aways from where he needed to be....

    The only reason is will be the year of the upsets for Orishman is because Trinidad is fighting Jones. (He hates Roy Jones)

    And Cotto possibly fighting Floyd and he hates Floyd.


    BTW Orishman how can this be an upset if Roy Jones even in your top 100 ATGs?

    Considering Roy Jones got knocked the **** out by Antionio Tarver and Glen Johnson, who's to say I couldn't knock him the **** out. I'm not dissing on a great fighter like Roy Jones, but his last 3 fights have not gave any indication to me that he is an overwhelming favourite against Tito. Even though Tito's power may not carry, I think they'll be still enough there to knock old old Roy out early.

    My Pick is Tito Round 5. Quote me on it.:bbb

    This fight is pointless and has come at a time when both fighters have little to offer the sport when fights like Hatton Mayweather are being made.

    I really don't care if Roy fights again or not.

    it would not be that big of an upset, because both fighters are done. I could care less.
