    With regards to the skin colour of RJ, I admit he looks pale vs. Tito. I just find it hard to believe that his skin got lighter during the years. I believe it has to do with rign light and oponent. I think however that you can see that you ca nsee a change in jones body over the years in jones body. Compare post HW with the Del Valle fight. It is a bit like Holyfield of now compare to the Tyson fights.

    A bit of nostalgia.
    This was the 1st Roy fight i ever saw. I remember when wathcing BB´s corner between rounds, the comentator from Eurosport said that he hoped they had holy water in the bootle.

    Roy Jones is the man. He will always be the greatest fighter that I ever saw. RJ was not only a fighter, the man was a performer. There will never be another fighter like him.

    He was amazing in this one. I did a pretty deep breakdown of Roy in that fight and it's enough to bring tears to your eyes, the way he boxes. And I love that look he gives the ref.

    That's now three reasons you have given for my leaving. Each time you're proven wrong, you change the reason. This is your M.O. And as I recall, you do as much name calling as anyone else.

    My head says Cotto by 8-4 Points. My heart says Cotto by TKO 10. I have posted up my overall analysis a few times though...

    On the greek islands at the moment. I have been a bit distracted from ESB to say the least. Going to miss the fight though unfortunately, pretty cut. Should be one to remember.

    I have it the same as your head.

    Keep your excuses for the lounge mob. We demand commitment here ;)

    I think it will be one for the ages. I think that Cotto will come very, very close to stopping Margo in the 11th or 12th before settling.

    Marg isn't winning a round mate. No 1 dimensional, limited fighter is going to do anything to Cotto. Cotto TKO 8 in a one sided brutal beatdown, where he uses multiple facets of his game, but mostly smothers Marg and backs him up inside(where Marg is ineffective).:good

    The damage alone that will accumulate on Marg's face is going to ensure that he doesn't last 10 rounds.
