Roy for beating tito or tito for beating roy?
Neither, this fight is all about one thing $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ this fight does nothing for legacies at all.
If Tito wanted to make a serious go at a 2nd career, he would compete at 160-168 and take a run at Calzaghe, Taylor, Miranda, Kessler or the soon to be New Middleweight champ Kelly Pavlik
If Roy wanted to do something special he would call out Glen Johnson or Bernard Hopkins.
This fight is just about to guys pimping out their names for financial gain, nothing more nothing less
Thats a bit of a bold statement but i agree, if they were in it for legacy and what not, they'd be looking elsewhere.Quote:

Tito for beating Jones because Tito is moving up to where he has never fought before and because he has had such a long lay off this would be major upset if Tito pulled this off.Quote:

It's absurd this fight is even being made. Roy has been reasonably active lately and Tito is coming out of a huge layoff to fight a light heavyweight, and that light heavyweight happens to be Roy Jones.
Tito has no business fighting above 154. If this fight even goes the distance, Roy should retire in shame.
My prediction.........
Jones KO 8
Woah! Apart from the prediction,I agree with you!!!! Have a cc on me. I don't think this fight should have been made either and even though Tito should and would get more credit for a win due to factors such as the inactivity,the size difference etc,it's still not an amazing win is it? And again,totally agree,Tito has no business fighting above 154.CC.Quote:

If Jones wins it will be....
He had to fight a natrual..JR Middle or Welter who could not handle it at 160 let along at LH...Tito was laid off so long he was rusty ect.....
This is a no win for either in truth
I think Tito is getting a last big paycheck and Jones is getting a last big fight. That is what this fight is about. Tito has so many disadvantages in this fight and no advantages imo. I cant see him winning in any way.
Tito beating Jones. I don't see this happening. If it happens though, it will be higher credit for Tito.
