The real problem I see for Tito is not the weight or that he is fighting RJJ, it is the inactivity. At least Roy has been keeping busy but Tito has not fought in over 2 years. This could be a serious factor. Tito should have enough power to gain Roy's respect. His three wins at 160 came by knockout. One to a man who had never been KOed before, one to a man who had never been down before and one to a man who has fought as a supermiddleweight.
I really think Jones is more washed up at this point. If Tito comes out with even a shread of his former offensive brilliance, he can take RJJ out. But if he comes in ring rusty as hell and slow he will get beat bad.
Though I don't think this fight is a good idea, I have a feeling that if both of these guys come out looking good with shades of their former glory, then we will all have a good fight and the winner will be back in business big time. Now if either of these guys comes out looking like a corpse then we all lose and it will be a bad night for boxing. I prey for the former.
