    How come there aren't enough discussions going about this fight?, I know both fighters are shot but it's still a megafight that I'd love to see. In all honesty I would really feel better if Roy would just retire because he has already done enough and I REALL wouldn't like to see him get hurt or anything because he's one of my all-time favorites but if he really wants to go on then I'll support as I always did. What do you guys think happens here?, Tito has been inactive for too long as well and Roy has been active at least and did pretty good in his last fight. My pick is RJJ by UD if not stoppage in late rounds, if his stamina doesn't fail him(which could reverse the result).

    Honestly....I won't discuss this fight lol. I want Jones to win. I THINK Jones will win.

    But if Jones wins, someone (including himself) will try to say this proves he has something left (he doesn't) and I keep seeing Jones looking like McClellan.

    If he loses, well it's just another black mark on a legacy that was once pristine, though I think what happens now means very little at this point. But the public doesn't perceive things in context all the time, and all they will see it Jones vs Trinidad.

    Jones by embaressment.

    Roy, even at this deteriorated state, is a stylistic nightmare for Tito. And lets not forget, Tito aint in his prime anymore either, plus, I doubt that power is coming up to LHW with him.

    The most annoying part is the public perception. Roy SHOULD thoroughly outbox Tito to a UD. But if he gets lazy on the ropes maybe tito can hurt him, although I have massive doubts about his power at 170 pounds (the catchweight from memory)

    Really hope that happens but we still don't know how Tito will show up, the activity might be major here but you never know.

    Roy will embarass Tito quite badly.

    not sure what to expect. roy is still faster and should be stronger. tito has pop to be sure, but is he fast enough to land it?

    my prediction...both will look horrible and roy wins by late stoppage.

    i may be alone here, but this is not a fight that i want to see. Theese men are two legends who have both achieved so much and this fight is just not necessary. i dont think that the winner is going to get a lot of credit anyways, based on both fighters last few performances. they both have so little to gain in comparison to what they could lose. and if there is an embarassing ko loss to either of them, then legend status may slip away from the loser. maybe im the only one, but i just like both of theese fighters and dont want anything taken away from their achievments.

    This is what I was trying to say, but of course slanted towards Jones since he is my favorite fighter.

    Tito will get embarrassed. He will be lucky to see the final bell.

    Even though im an ex Jones fan I still end up rooting for him a lot. Still, this fight is probably 5 years late and kinda reminds me of Mosley/ Vargas where youre wondering who is more worn out. Im guessing even though theyre both shot Jones has the right style to beat Tito.

    It's Roy's stamina that I'm worried about and very worried about the first round too, Tito will CLEARLY charge in quick and try to land the big shot. That's like 1million percent guaranteed simply because Tito knows that this is the way to trouble Roy these days. Will Roy instantly go to the ropes like he did with Prince Ajamu?, if he does then this will be a terrible night.
