    Jones KTFO is always a pleasure for me and at the hands of Tito what satifaction that would be. However, agreed these guys are passed their prime but power is the last thing to go and if this cliche is true Tito can still starch a few guys.

    I think that if Tito beats Jones it should be considered an upset. Tito's best weight was 154 (my opinion), Jones is still near a good weight for him at 170.
    He might be slower but the power stays, plus Tito can't fight mobile fighters.
    I'm P'rican but my prediction is Jones within 5. I'll be thrilled if I'm wrong and Tito knocks him out.:bbb

    Roy Jones has declined so much. He just tried to survive in his last few fights.
    I would not be surprise if Trinidad knock him out.

    i hope Tito wins but do i think Tito is going to win? man i don't know. cuz tito can be one dimensional at time and this is what has hurt him in the past. Tito only come with plan a and only plan a knock him out at all cost. but with RJJ chin at this point in his Currier Tito stands a good chace of a KO.

    For anyone of you guys that knows anything about boxing, and is not a hugger , will understand my assessment that RJJ was not what you call a sweet science master like Parnell or even PBF, he was dependent of his incredible reflexes and speed ….as a fighter like RJJ get into age, his reflexes and speed slow down just enough to affect his defense…as I mentioned his footwork and distance control were deeply compromised on the Tarver’s fight and Glencoffe fight…as I mentioned, as he go in and pull out what his old perception of were he was supposed to be on his younger days, and were he is know is differs enough that his distance control get compromised and he got hit with shots usually he would not…therefore the two KO’s…and that is something hard to hide once you are in the ring with a quality opponent…so that he could potentially get KO by Tito is not so far fetch…

    It's called styles, you criticize Roy for having a certain style and because his style relied on reflexes you don't think he deserves a ATG status. That's like saying, well Pernell was a great fighter but his arm got chopped off. And since he couldn't fight he doesn't deserve an ATG status.

    Hey fool I was simply talking about the outcome of the fight...no about ATG..no styles has nothing to do with ATG statuys..never said that...all I said that you guys give RJJ the ATG status becuase of his physical sttributes and not because of waht he did inside the ropes

    Tito is going now 16 pounds north of his weight class. He would get stomped. His power is not going to carry. Roy Jones may be faded but so is Felix. And hes fighting a WAY bigger man.

    I will give you the power fact since it is a fact as you move up you don;t carry your pop, but that will be counter by RJJ glass chin...that Tito will not carry his pop from 147 thru 160 to 175 doen;t mean he will be hitting RJJ with pillow punches

    I think going from middleweight champion to gaining a heavyweight title and stomping everyone he fought untill he got old has something to do with it.... When you add the physical attributes to that people tend to give him the atg status, myself included.
