    Default Jones Vs Trinidad in January 08' Does anyone really care?

    I have to admit at one time Roy Jones and Felix Trinidad were two of the most talented fighters on the planet like them or hate them you respected their skill...But now Jones has proved beatable even fragile to an extent..

    Trinidada has showed he is not a TRUE champion by the way he just decides to retire the second he loses...Not take a minute off to recoup plain out retires..plus he is not even a gracious loser...

    Felix is back WAAAYYYYYY past his best weight as we all seen even 160 was a bit over his head when he faced elite comp...

    Jones is on his way out just hoping for one last glory pose.....

    Is this really worth the efforts?

    Just my opp wondering what everyone else thinks on it as a Serious fight?

    na not really lol, i mean id watch it for the same reason id watch to little men go at it with 20 oz gloves on, its pointless but its gunna be funny as fuck.

    they are both shot fighters who are sadly ruining their own greatness by carrying on this charade.

    I care, I will still pay attention to the fight

    The two are at least in my top 4 fave fighters of all time tito at number one blatantly..

    And i will still root for tito.. But the one word that comes to mind when i think of thing fight is..

    " WRONG " .. They are both past it, both may struggle and there are many factors to be decided come fight night to see who will end up the winner

    It will come down to, Has roy recovered and the time off done him well ..

    Has Felix still got power, he does look well in a big frame as ive seen in a fair few pictures and he can certainly fill out in a number of fights but like many others im sure that there may never be more then one more fight win or loose.. And of course till january with no experiance in warm up fights im not sure about the weight of tito in the fight..

    There are too many questions for both fighters but we will have to wait and see but yes i am interested and looking forward to the fight

    I could care less; pretty much feel like Preme does. I don't know if this will be PPV, but if it is no way I'm paying for it. I don't even understand what the end result of this fight could possibly mean for either guy, or the fans for that matter. JMO

    I love love love both these fighters and both of them are all time greats,but I'm not sure about this fight at all. If RJJ doesn't want him,he'll look bad. He wins,so what,Tito is at best,a 160 pounder. Even if Tito wins,so what,RJJ is old. Neither fighter wins unless they look really spectacular.

    I'll watch it because I'm such a fan.

    No.

    Which is more ridiculous, this or Vargas/Mayorga? Probably this one, as pointless as Vargas/Mayorga is it could actually end up being fairly exciting even though Mayorga's shot and Vargas is shot and fat.

    I have to agree...I will watch the fight because of who they are but Magic Man stated it best this is a fight where neither man has anything to win in this and it has become more of a each man has to take the fight to save face.....Sad part is just as El G said even the winner is the loser because of the obvious...A former ATG LHW champ beats a guy who at best was a MW...the other beat a guy way past his years of worth...

    Mayorga/Vargas, lol. I am watching this one I decided just for the expected unexpected stuff. Vargas will be doing commercials with Kirstie Alley for Jenny Craig after this and Mayorga will probably get diagnosed with lung cancer and sue Marlboro to get some more $$$.

    The only way this fight makes itself seem right or goes down to serve as a win for both's legacy would be this ideal situation

    ..Both guys have to put up one hell of a fight.. Show heart, blood and guts entertainment to the full both have shown heart

    I want this fight to be like this

    Can you remember how you felt about Erik Morales' heart after he beat diaz and got robbed..

    Well.. Imagine the erik morales of that night fighting himself of the same night and that bieng what tito v rjj has to be to even begin to do any good for either fighter

    We could hope anyway

    Will we watch it? Yes. They are still ATG. Is anyone not going to watch it at all?

    No disrespect to each guy for what they accomplished.....when they were actually good.This Is a Piece o' crap farce IMO.Jones was clammering for Tito BEFORE Hopkins dismanteled him.At welter Trinidad was a sensation and from the minute he destroyed Thin man Blocker and Garcia I was hooked.
    But he is not a middleweight.Its starting to be sad when you retire more than Leonard.Jones is "fighting" on borrowed time and can be starched at any time IMO.Just hope Tito waits until the end of the fight to retire again and not During it.....But I'll pray for Titos Hook.I'll pray hard but I wont buy this.

    I think it is PPV, which means I won't be paying for it. I'd only watch the replay on HBO the following week if I hear it wasn't a borefest. If it's another Hopkins-Trinidad/Wright-Trinidad, been there, done that.

    Carzy stuff dude. Pavlik/Taylor{best fight this year imo} and Kess/Cal were FREE. But RJJ/Trinidad being sold to the public is almost criminal. Not trying to take away anything from these guys and their greatness, but at this time HBO can suck a test#cle if they think I'm paying for this one.
