No I don't think so, a good example of this is Roy himself, he won all those titles in different divisions but when he lost against Tarver and Glenn (in that KO I thought RJJ was dead) by KO, was his legacy tarnished? He already did everything that he hoped to do and still people consider him one of the greatest boxers in USA.
No....but the winner of the fight will get more credit than he deserves 10 yrs from now. Especially if it's a highlight reel type fight.
I like Tito but I'm a bigger Jones fan. What I'm talking about is that Tito can hurt anybody if they get careless, now get the **** outta my face.
I don't think it hurts either one either way. If Tito wins, he just adds a name to his resume. If he loses, he was past his prime and people will look the other way. Same way for Roy.
No He's clearly well past his best days, he's coming off a 3 year layoff, he's fighting 23 pounds above his best weight, and fans/historians will take all of these factors into consideration when they look at his resume and career. His ranking wont go down with a loss in my view.
