IMO Jones has lost a step but not as much as people are saying...He did not look that good in the Baju (how ever you spell it) and Hanshaw bouts even though he won...but in truth he looked to be more gun shy then anything...playing it a little safe in fear of another KO loss
I think Jones will rise to the occasion tonite... I mean lets face it, even though he got Knocked the Fuk out, this is the closest thing to a high profile fight for him since the 2nd Tarver fight.
In the interviews and appearences since this fight was announced Roy has changed his attitude from thinking he was still king S*** to a guy that admits he has something to prove and has to show out if he is to be taken seriously at an elite level.. Imo if Jones shows out tonite and has a great performance with handspeed, power, footwork and good desicion. He will have to be taken seriously in the whole Supermiddle and Lightheavy picture.
Jones still has all the physical tools and has dealt with adversity and has showed heart to be competitive with any top fighter.. With Jones its all mental and we will see if the last to confidence builders will prove helpful for Jones... I know he will have my support tonite ;)
If Tito wins by a good punch, then he will just get torn up by Calzaghe, Kessler, Taylor, Pavlik and grappled to death by Hopkins... This fight is a Make or break for Jones and other than a payday for Trinidad I dont think anyone thinks he is staying around to make any serious run and like I mentioned if he does, Tito dosent have the skill to compete with todays 168-170 fighters
CC#906...You hit it on the head perfectly
Thanks... :coolclick: I think Jones will really shine tonite

Jones always sports a beard for weigh ins burt he cuts it off for the fight .
He's gotta keep his chin down from Titos bombs but lets not forget Tito has often been droped early cuz he is slow to get started . . . . . . Jones -Griffin 2 anyone ?

Trinidad had a hard time making the 170lb agreed weight....Not getting down to it but getting up to it...It was admitted by his own camp...so this should be interesting
Well then Trinidad is an idiot. If he was below 170, then he should have just stayed at 160 or 165. just because a fight is at 170 doesn't mean you HAVE to weigh 170. Do you have a source for this info?
Everything I've read is that Tito started training camp at over 200 pounds and had to work hard just to get down to 170.
Re: Tito 170lbs, Jones Jr 169lbs PICS
Looking at him I doubt that he started at 200 pounds and sturggled to get it off... did you mean Jones?
I don't think Tito can have started higher than 185... unless he was out of shape before hand.
Re: Tito 170lbs, Jones Jr 169lbs PICS
I think Roy looks very good, he was naturally going to look a little tighter, he did lose over 5 lbs more than he has had to in over 10 yrs. But I don't see any telltale sign that he's weight drained, he's still got good even muscle defenition. Surprised people aren't making more of Tito's condition. He just looks out of shape, I doubt he's put on an ounce of lean muscle in moving up... He has absolutely ZERO business at this weight. I'm sure he could still make 154, easily 160. Instead he just took a couple years off, put on a bunch of fat, then lost just enough of it to make 170. You don't beat Roy Jones doing that, I don't care how old he is. Tito basically did everything wrong for this fight from what I can tell, makes me feel it's just a payday... Even if he somehow won, he won't beat any other top fighter at smw or higher. I think Jones is going to beat him silly, perhaps as badly as he always would have, when Tito moved up to 160. I think Trinidad should have taken a hard look at the first guy to whip his ass, Hopkins. Now he put on weight properly, makes this look like what it may be on Tito's part, a joke.
Re: Tito 170lbs, Jones Jr 169lbs PICS
Jones at 169lbs looks drained but come fight time he will be weighing about 185lbs
