    I'll go with Jones tko 3.

    I just don't think Tito belongs in that ring with him.

    hope i'm wrong and tha Tito can make it competitive.

    Agree with what was said earlier, Jones by UD, and a wide one at that.

    Even though I'm obviously not a huge fan of Mayweather, I will say that he earned a lot of respect the way he acted and fought against Hatton. He was classy outside of the ring and tough inside of it. He's one of the best fighters ever and that's all there is to it.

    And it's great to see how he went from a guy who couldn't sell out in his hometown a few years back to a guy who is now the big star in boxing. I just hope we get to see him in some great matchups in the future.

    Nowadays, Jones goes the distance with unproven talent.
    As far as Tito, losing to Winky isn't that horrible, he's a talented boxer. Just before Winky, Tito raped Mayorga (and that was a comeback match).
    I think Jones is in trouble getting back in the ring with top-talent boxer.
    Tito by TKO.
    (too bad, I think a prime Jones would've raped Tito)

    I expect Trinidad to look awful because of the added weight and the ring rust. I don't envision his punches having too much snap or speed and I expect his footwork to be less than stellar. He will have a lot of trouble with Jones' speed and movement. His only chance is that Roy lays on the ropes and Trinidad can get set to punch, wear him down to the body, and land the hook upstairs a few times.

    Prime for prime, Roy demolishes him within 6.

    Same - I'd love to see him face any welterweight champion although he will probably fight the one who brings the most money.

    Mayweather certainly has what it takes to beat Cotto and it seems like Cotto is the guy who can really test Mayweather. It's the Leonard-Duran of this generation. I'd put up $100+ to see it.

    Roy Jones by Ko around the 4-8th round. I just can't see Tito doing anything to trouble Roy, as he is the far superior technical fighter.

    trinidad hasn't fought since getting shutout by the quicker, slicker, and more technically sound Wright. Roy has fought twice since Trinidad last fought, and showed quickness in his knockdown of the young Hanshaw. Trinidad is susceptable to the flash knockdown against fast hands. I expect Trinidad to look more past his prime than Roy. I'd give Trinidad a better chance if it were prime vs. prime...which i'd put money on a RJJ stoppage.

    Jones will be a trim and quick 170 while Trinidad looked flat in his last two 160 pound contests. Jones TKO 4.

    I expect at least one moment where Tito will wobble and possibly knock Jones down.

    That'll be pretty much it for Tito though as Jones rebounds and takes a nice wide decision win.
